I live in the US and do not know of any stock brokers that uses MT4 or MT5. MT4 and MT5 is mostly used by Forex brokers.
Gareth,
There is no software to speed test how fast EA Studio collects strategies when using multiple copies of EA Studio you have to manage this yourself. Here is how to do it:
FFirst open one instance of EA Studio. Click the Start button. The Start button will change to a Stop button. Next monitor the Collected strategies. When the Collected strategies hits 1000 then click the Stop button. Record the time. Now click the Start button again and let it continue to run and do not stop it again. Add next instance of EA Studio. Click the Start button. The Start button will change to a Stop button. Next monitor the Collected strategies. When the Collected strategies hits 1000 then click the Stop button. Record the time. Now click the Start button again and let it continue to run and do not stop it again. Add next instance of EA Studio and repeat the process until you have 8 or more instances of EA Studio running.
What I did next was to enter all the recorded times into an Open Office spreadsheet, did some math, and then generated the graphs.
Hi Gilbert,
I am a new moderator for the forum. This morning I was going through older threads posted in the forum and ran across your thread. I’m sorry to see your thread never did receive an answer. May I apologize on behalf of EATradingAcademy. Hopefully, since the time you posted this thread into the forum you have figured out or have learned how to resolve this issue. However, in case you have not resolved this issue let me explain how to deal with getting EA’s to show in the Navigator window.
After adding the EA source files to the Experts directory it is necessary to open up the MT5 Editor. In the editor you need to open each EA individually and then click on the Compile button. Once you have done this for each EA you can then close the editor and go to the Navigator window. Right click on Expert and refresh. All the EA’s should now be visible.
This chart shows the optimum number of EA Studio’s to be used on one computer. This chart shows that with three EA Studio’s running at the same time the total number of collections for all three instances of EA Studios is ten thousand. The chart also shows that with all ten EA Studio’s running at the same time the total number of collections for all ten EA Studio’s is also ten thousand. This then shows that there is no advantage to running more than three instances of EA Studio at one time.Here is the results of my EA Studio speed test. This test shows the results of how long it takes to generate 1000 strategies. In order to properly generate strategies each EA Studio must be opened in a separate Chrome window as shown in the figure below. Opening one instance of Chrome and opening each EA Studio in different Tabs of the same Chrome window will not allow EA Studio to collect strategies.
This figure shows opening multiple instances of EA Studio is separate TABs of one instance of Chrome. The only EA Studio that will collect strategies is the one selected. All other instances of EA Studio will not collect strategies.
This figure shows the proper way to open several instances of EA Studio. Each instances of EA Studio is collecting strategies.
This graph shows how long it takes to collect 1000 strategies. The graph shows that when only one instance of EA Studio is running it only takes about 11 seconds to collect 1000 strategies. However, when there are 10 instances of EA Studio running it takes each EA Studio 60 seconds, or 1 minute, to collect 1000 strategies.Hi Mustafa,
In this explanation I will use EURUSD as an example.
The suffix is simply the name of the chart. For example, a broker has a chart that is plotting the high, low, open, and close, for EURUSD. The broker can name the chart anything it wants but the chart is still plotting EURUSD. So the fact that the name of a chart has a suffix attached to it doesn’t mean the currency being plotted is different, it is still EURUSD. Having said this, any EA for EURUSD created by FSB or EA Studio, will trade properly when attached to any chart plotting EURUSD no matter what name the broker gives the chart. So, to answer your question FSB doesn’t need to attach a suffix to the end of the EA it creates and will function normally when attached to any chart, no matter the name of the chart, as long as the currency pair being plotted is the same as the EA created by FSB.
I am going to run this test this weekend! I did a similar test when I was first starting to use EA Studio but it will be interesting to run the test again and to determine current results.
Nice filtering. nice balance line!
I think the problem you were having when EA Studio was not collecting many strategies was that you had too many things going on at one time on your PC so that the computer processor was working too hard. Also, in the future, use a separate web browser, not just a tab of the current web browser you are using, but a completely different chrome browser, as this will also help to increase the EA Studio collection of strategies. When using multiple EA Studio’s use a different web browser for each EA Studio to maximize strategy collections.Petko,
First option, not third option :o)
Saving a collection as a collection is the better option as it makes it easier to organize all your collections.
And, for Gareths’s knowledge the the Collection file is a json file.
John,
If you are trying to upload a zipped file containing EA’s back into EA Studio then do the following:
1. Go to Validator
2. Click on “1. Strategies”
3. Click on the box that says “Drop files here or click to upload”
4. Navigate to the zipped file, double click on the zipped file and the EA’s should be loaded. You can see the number of loaded files where it says “Loaded Strategies”
5. Click on “3. Validator settings”
6. Make sure ” Use the common Acceptance Criteria” box is unchecked
7. Make sure all the “Optimize strategies” boxes are unchecked.
8. Make sure all the “Perform robustness testing” boxes are unchecked
9. Click on START
10. All EA’s should now be in the “Collection”Hi Gareth,
Sorry, I used the wrong verbage. What I was wondering was if you changed the “minimum net profit of $10.00” to a smaller amount of did you delete this filter?
Gareth,
Happy to hear EA Studio is now generating thousands of strategies. Question: Did you leave the Minimum Profit at $10.00 in the Acceptance Criteria, or, did you remove it?
Hi Samuel,
Yes I know. Like I said in my post I am working my computer processor very hard today. Normally I do get a lot of strategies in a few minutes like you said. I should have run EA Studio on my other laptop but I didn’t. It’s ok though, as I am just trying a few things today. Another reason I may not be getting as many strategies collected is that I am just collecting strategies for the London Session. This is the first time I have tried to collect strategies over a certain session period so I am thinking that this is why I am not collecting as many strategies.
I have one instance of EA Studio running now for 7 hours with a total calculated strategies of 47000 which calculates to be an average of 6700 strategies per hour which is about the same as what you are seeing and I have 12 strategies collected. low number of collected strategies is due to my filtering. I have a lot of chrome windows open and three instances of FSBpro running. So the reason why my EA Studio is running slowly is most likely because my processor is simply just working too hard. One reason you might not be getting any collected strategies could be a result of your Acceptance Criteria filtering. In your Acceptance Criteria I see you are looking for a minimum net profit of $10.00. This might be too high of an expectation. Delete the Minimum Net Profit filter in your Acceptance Criteria. You can filter this later in the Collection. If you do this I would expect you would start seeing collected strategies. Be patient as sometimes it could take awhile before you start to see some collected strategies.
