Hi, what do you mean that they are not working? If you elaborate on this I will be happy to help:-)

Also, you can make a habit of downloading the top EAs from the APP regularly and putting them on your own incubator account and using fx blue to wait until you get your own 20 trade history.

This would let you have additional strategies as they are selected based on best recent performance and so change often but this may let you find others that are actually able to perform well over time.

 

One demo account should be fine as you can have 99 EAs running and should simply remove any that haven’t shown profitable performance after 20 trades (or something similarly sensible) as maybe a monthly clean up task.

Let me know how that sounds and let me know how you get on? Also if you want to share anything you have done already then we can further discuss and make some tweaks

Hi Alesamo, yes I agree that the risks of the grid martingales are concerning and I personally step away from these too.

Rest assured I will definitely be working on improving the back end of this tool over time but for now let’s get something that will work better with what we have got.

So for approach one. Let’s try this approach:

1 – Only trade EAs that have an OOS trade count of 20+ trades as shown on the top 10 app

2 – Also instead of changing EAs after a set period of time such as putting them on each week or month, lets trade them until they either exceed their maximum drawdown or consecutive losses according to the 5 year results (could also use a shorter window of 1 year too).

Hi, can you share a screenshot of both the settings on the expert advisor and of the page in the document please? Also an alternative way is to perform a backtest with 25, 250 and 2500 in this setting if there is any doubt.

Hi Alesamo, I agree with the flaws currently in the approach many take to the top 10 app. I have been trading EAS successfully for a good while now (See here for examples (https://community.algotradingspace.com/forums/topic/many-prop-firm-challenges-passed-with-ea-studio/) and I also just received payout on a 100k FTMO funded account. ALL using EA Studio portfolios that I developed myself.

The top 10 app gets ALOT right but its approach also has flaws. Would you be open to trying a different approach than you are using? Also what other software do you have access to?

Hi Mariano. Some additional questions so I can help better;

1- What is your trading experience?

2 – What kind of account are you trading this on (demo, live, broker etc)

3 – Have you compared any real time tradng results with the backtest.

 

I would always recommend trading with the lowest risk, and 1 or two weeks in trading is totally meaningless in my opinion as all strategies have drawdowns and stagnations much longer than this and that is normal

[Samuel Jackson]

Hi, additionally for this issue. Are you able to show the error if you try to compile this in metaeditor please. Also showing the outputs on the expert tab would be helpful in resolving this issue too. If you are able to send the expert advisor to the academy email address also then that will help in properly resolving this.

[Samuel Jackson]

Hi Mariano,

Sorry to hear that its been a bad trading period.

Can you please share how you selected your EAs to trade and what risk you are using please? So I can help you as best I can.

Cheers,

Sam

Can you further elborate on this problem please? I am 99% sure that the correct setting will be the EA and the document will need updated in this case however

It would be best to connect your account to FXBlue, that way you can easily view the statistics for different strategies and instruments including net profit. https://www.fxblue.com/ Just login in here, create and account and then install the publisher app on your terminal so that it reliably uploads your trading history to the website.

Mt5 will download the data when back testing and so you will be able to have a more than adequate amount of data. I would recommend back testing with full tick data base don real ticks and check that the % of real ticks quality is at least about 90%. If not then I would recommend importing quality tick data or back testing on a broker that has better quality data (Such as darwinex or dukascopy for example). For M5 and M15 5 years of data is ample in my opinion

 

[Samuel Jackson]

Hi Brasov, this must be a backtesting error but you will need to show more information to be able to troubleshoot effectively. Can you show some screenshots so I can help further. Also are you testing on mt4 or mt5?

[Samuel Jackson]

Hi, No that is a misunderstanding. 5ers allows multiple trades on different symbols and hedging is allowed also.
