Hello Gianluca,
You are welcome! It makes me happy that every course I launch causes interest and many traders join. That really gives me a lot of energy to keep doing what I am doing…
Now, the Basic cryptocurrency course is focused really on beginners as I go over all basic staff that one needs to know. MetaTrader, pips, points, spread…up to the algorithmic trading.
The Revolution is different. THere I focus on the Never losing formula and how I combine it with the Expert Advisors. I provide in both 12 EAs, but in the revolution, I show examples of trading with EAs and combining the trades with the NLF.
I hope that helps.
Cheers,
You are welcome, let me know if there is anything else.
And the easiest way to compare if the data from the Demo and the live server matches is to upload both on EA Studio. After that open any strategy and switch between the two Data sources. You will see if there is a difference in the backtest equity lines.
Hello Jay-R,
Very good question here, but it is from those questions that have no precise answers.
However, I will explain to you what is the logic.
If you use the common acceptance criteria in the generator, all the strategies will be filtered there(this is what I do).
If you want to use the optimizer, it is recommendable to use the common acceptance criteria again. Because the strategies that will come from the generator fitting the acceptance criteria but the optimizer can change that. Normally it should change them in a better way and improve Profit Factor, Consecutive losses and so on, but might lower the number of trades.
Anyway using the Monte Carlo is a must after the generator.
Have a look at the Normalizer, it is quite interesting. I will upload an update video about it.
Cheers,
Hello Gianluca,
yes, they are. Now, if your broker uses futures, there might be an expiry date. Just open the new chart when it comes and re-open the EAs on it.
Hello Jay-r,
It is not recommendable to use VPS from the broker(especially the one that you have an account with) because this way you give them full control over your trades and EAs. Personally I would not like the broker to have control over my EAs. It is like you place the EAs in their office.
Know something from me: There is no broker that wants you to profit. 🙂

Hello Jay-R,
Haliffa gave you great answers! 100% correct.
I have noticed with the time that it is possible to load slowly the chart for two reasons. One is if your computer is very very slow (I do not believe yours is since on Demo it loads fast) and second is from the server of the broker. Could be that they load the data slowly, the server is far from you…anything like that, and in most cases, we can not understand that.
Feel free to ask questions.
It is important to get started properly with the Historical data. That is the first important steps.
Kind regards,
Yeah, this is if you do not have same Historical data on your live server and your demo server. Basically you will be testing the EAs on one server with one data, and then place the best ones on different server with different data.
The data from the live and demo should match.
Hello traders!
Today we have launched our first Stock market trading course + 10 Dow Jones Expert Advisors included.
In this course, I demonstrated how I crete strategies for indexes and I decided to include 10 Expert Advisors for Dow Jones.
During the last one year, I trade more and more the indexes because I saw that with EA Studio great strategies are being generated.
Also, trading Stocks with Expert Advisors is much cheaper because there are no high commissions like with the regular stocks.
In this trading course, I shared the two methods to avoid Demo testing and I have used one of the methods to test the Dow Jones strategies.
As always, we will launch a 5-day promotion for all our users of the Forum.Â
Use this following link, to get the course with 75% discount.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.
Trade safe!
Hello Mehreen,
I told you already that there are no such templates with ON and OFF option because it is useless to have one.
The idea of FSB Pro and EA Studio strategy builder is actually to generate strategies over the Historical data of your broker. So give it a try, generate some strategies and see how it goes.
Regarding my strategies, I share many of them in my courses. Strategies with FSB Pro, you can find in the course Forex trading strategies from a professional trader + Top 5 professional EA
Hello Thyago,
A good question here.
I still use both variations, but in the courses, I prefer to place EAs with SL and TP, because beginner traders a bit scared to trade without SL.
However, my trading shows that having an SL and TP gives us more robust strategies.
I noticed with the time that when I generate strategies without SL or without TP they are not so robust after that. Basically more over-optimized strategies are generated if there is no SL, because the generator finds better variations.
Hello Mery!
Very good question here. Well, the Monte Carlo does not improve the strategies. It does not change them. What is does is to filter them.
Especially if you are using the Reactor and you include the Monte Carlo simulation, the strategies will be filtered. Only those that pass the Monte Carlo will continue.
Now, the Monte Carlo performs different tests for the strategies according to the settings we select to use. For example, when it changes the parameters of the strategy and it fails, this means that the original parameters are most probably over-optimized.
Also, if you test the spread and it fails, it means that the strategy is not suitable when trading with a higher spread.
For, example recently I create very nice strategies for Apple and I started trading with them. The EAs started to lose. It turned out that the broker charger $5 commission when the traders are opened and when they are closed. This means $10 commission for each 1 lot. That is huge!
Now, with the Forex, we do not have that problem. But the Monte Carlo simulation does pretty much the same thing. It tests the strategies with different spread, indicator parameters, backtest starting bar and so on.
In other words, it tries to break the strategy before we trade with it.
Very good point here! In my mind was that Mary was asking about the win/loss ratio! Thanks for the clarification traderaw19!
Mary, I am not really sure about that system…
let’s say you have selected to use 7 consecutive losses. In your real trading you might have the case to hit on 4-5 consecutive losses than 1 winner, and then again 4-5 consecutive losses and 1 winner. And this could continue for some time and it will be within your criteria but you will have losses…
What I normally do is to place a lower number in the range of 300-500 and then from the additional filters I increase the number of trades to get the maximum I could.
One more thing here. If you see strategy with so many entry rules, that does not mean this is a good strategy. Even the opposite thing. We are looking for strategies that have fewer entry rules.
We have now the Normalizer at EA Studio which indeed reduces the trading rules. This way the Expert Advisors are faster, calculated easier, and the chance to have a delay in the entry are less.
When we backtest trading strategy we want to make it as fast as possible. Especially when we trade 100s of them simultaneously.
Hello traders,
We have a great new feature in EA Studio since yesterday. It is called Normalizer:
You will find it right between the Optimizer and the Walk Forward Optimization. Actually it is something similar to the Optimizer but the idea is to improve the strategy by:
- Remove Take Profit
- Remove needless indicators
- Reduce Stop Loss
- Reduce Take Profit
- Normalize indicator parameters
The function will be integrated into the Reactor as well, and once it is, I will record a video about it.
Safe trading!
