Hello Simon,
The Walk Forward Optimization does the optimization segment by segment, so it is unlikely to over-optimize the strategies. No like the Optimizer that works on the complete Historical data. That is the huge difference.
It takes the parameters from the last segment and tests the complete period with these parameters. They are optimized just for the recent Historical data(the recent market conditions). If they do well for the whole period, it will take them.
8. Forex trading strategies from a professional trader + Top 5 professional EA
I have updated the top 5 strategies. I have made small changes in the USDJPY and EURGBP strategies.
Let me know if you have any questions.
I am on the new course of Petko where he shows trading indexes with EAs. I am very much interested in the idea.
So far I have been trading more than 100 Forex EAs in 6 Demo and 2 live accounts, but I feel like I want to experiment and diversify more the portfolio.
This is why I am planning to start with stocks and cryptocurrencies.
Hey Jay-R,
Second-hand computers work just great for me. I have a laptop, and desktop that is my main machine, and I have bought 2 another that are second hand but they do just great with 3 MetaTrader platforms installed on each. So on those, I have my 6 Demo accounts, and on my Laptop and main machine, I have the 2 live accounts.
It is a bit of investment but if you pay VPS every month, you will end up with more cost at the end of the 1st year probably.
Cheers,
Hey Simon,
somehow, I have missed that post. Sorry for the late replay.
Having in the acceptance criteria Maximum consecutive losses 5 is what stops your strategies. Try to increase the number and give it a try.
You see you have just 20 strategies passing the acceptance criteria (0.00%) and than they stopped at the robustness tools. Try to get at least 0.01% passing the acceptance criteria. But I am pretty sure it is from the consecutive losses.
Anyway, I run the reactor sometimes even longer:
Simply, I was out of town and I left it to do some work for me 🙂
But you can see that I can this 0.015 that I am talking about.
Look at the number 10 million strategies calculated…
Hey Simon,
Andi gave you a pretty decent answer but let me bring a bit of clarification:
The Walk Forward Optimization changes the strategies. The complete backtest with the last parameters is different from the original strategy. Simply because it uses the last parameters. And it will take those last parameters only if they are better than the parameters in the original strategy.
The Walk Forward Validation does not change the strategy. If the strategy passes when in the Reactor, the same strategy will continue, with the same parameters. Here we are looking for over-optimization. If the Walk forward validation fails to create better segments by optimizing each one, it means that the original strategy might be over-optimized. Simply, the Walk Forward can not get a better result.
I hope that makes it clearer. If not, let me know.
Cheers,

Glad to hear that Jay-R. Sometimes we really do not know what might be the reason and looking for an alternative might help.
Hello traders,
Here I start with some updates for the month of October:
1. Forex strategy course – Portfolio trading strategies + 12 Expert Advisors
I have just uploaded the new 12 Expert Advisors for October in the practical activity.
I strongly suggest you test these Expert Advisors first on the Demo account.
The best practice is to select the Expert Advisors that profit at the current market.
2. Automated Forex trading course + 99 Expert Advisors
I have updated the course with the new 99 Expert Advisors for October.
Try to combine the Expert Advisors from few months. You can try testing 2-3 Demo accounts with the Expert Advisors from 2-3 consecutive months. But follow the results for the last 2-3 weeks. This way you will have many Expert Advisors to choose from.
