@Andi – Thats a great idea! That’s actually on my list of things to try LOL. I’ve only been able to use EA Studio for so long now that FSB like learning an entirely different language. Even optimizations and robustness testing feels so different to me. Any pointers are appreciated as always!
@Andi – That’s an interesting approach to stack the indicators for more accuracy. After you mentioned it that’s what i figured you meant. But yes as a discretionary trader multiple timeframe analysis is a must. So i make sure in both manual trading and now that i can use FSB to make sure i have the story from the higher tf’s taken into account. Even while monitoring my EA Studio strategies, I’m always tracking the market on the daily. This was my first timeframe due to my work schedule and very first mentor. Was easier for me to set trades during the Asia Sessions and while I slept my limit orders were grabbed and ran in their respective sessions. It would be nice if FSB could set limit orders, maybe that’s something Popov is looking into in the future.
@Ossaio – I’ve never experimented with the signal repeat, but as I’ve come to learn we all have different tastes in strategies and their development. Let me know how that goes in your testing. Very curious!
Hi Laila,
I use only 2 acceptance criteria at the moment in “training” and OOS. My reactor settings are pretty strict though, i like to see a very strong Monte Carlo. This test for me is the most important. But again this is my personal style. You’ll find what you like to see with time. It’s taken me 4 months of live trading to gain 30% in my account. September of last year is when i finally got serious about developing my strategies the way i’m comfortable. If you see Jac’s criteria he likes to see 70% win ratio, this for me means large stops with tight TP in my experience so far. Not something I’m comfortable with. I’d rather see at least 1-1 ratio between SL and TP, and as long as the win rate is above 40% I’m happy. Give it time, and patience. You’ll want to throw your computer from time to time when you get back to the generators and see nothing in the collection. If I knew what i know now in December 2017, I would have focused on learning my reactor style sooner.
Andi,
You’re the man! I actually use entry on H1 approach with H4 and D1 as my filters to follow big picture. Experimenting with M15 entries, using M30 and H1 filters for more active EA’s.
Never thought of using smaller timeframes to filter my H1’s. Going to write that down and play with that idea. I always figured the “intrabar scan” feature did that for us. But if you brought it up then it’s definitely worth looking into.
Good morning Donald,
No sir, I’m in the US so finding a trustworthy broker outside of the states is a little tricky. If i had a larger account and 1 really good EA for each currency pair I’d be using one of the two main ones here. But i stick to regulated brokers in their respective countries. I know my money is safer here up to $250k but our brokers dont allow hedging which we obviously need to run multiple EA’s on different time frames. Currently I’m using FXChoice, and as Petko would say i’m not affiliated with them in any way. But since they are not in the US, funding the account is a little bit of a pain. Get hit with 14% transfer fee to the 3rd party, then hit again with 2% fee to deposit what’s left of my initial funds into my account. Haven’t tried pulling money out yet since i’m still growing the account so stay tuned for that experience LOL.
Good morning Andi,
I played Trombone :).
I just had a few nice trades close on the GBPJPY this morning. Entry on the H1 in accordance to the D1 and H4 momentum confirmations. Was just curious on your results with that many indicators since everybody in the trading industry preaches “keep it simple”.
Hola Andi,
Wow when you say 20 logic it reminds me of being in band again in high school. A lot of moving parts to coordinate to create a beautiful sound. Kind of intimidating at the same time.
@Petko – For the FSB optimizer, if I’m trying to optimize TP/SL i know the min and max are in points so 100 = 10pips. Is the step the same as in i need to set it at 100 in order to equal 10 pips as well?
@Andi – I saw you’ve purchased 3 FSB licenses from your posts in the forum. I’ve grown quite fond of EA Studio for the entire process being automated. Would you mind sharing some FSB pointers? I’ve had both softwares since December of 2017 but my old laptop could only handle 1 window at a time of EA Studio so never really touched FSB till now.Gracias Fellas!
Yes for some reason it made sense for me to select it thinking “yes i’d like you to figure out same directional and opposite direction signals”, not quite understanding that it was actually meaning “i’m going to remove your requests and figure it out on my own”. Appreciate you as always Petko. And you as well Andi for trying to explain though it went over my head…
OHHHHHHH ok yes, I misunderstood. I’ll go ahead and reset my generator per your instructions. Thanks Petko, will update later today with what the generator finds while I’m back at work.
I pulled a random strategy out of the repository. You can see even though I’ve set to Add and to Reverse, it’s changed to no adding/no reduction. Am i doing something wrong here?
@Andi and Petko – Yes i have both “same direction signal” and “opposite direction signal” checked, in hopes that it would add to winners, and reverse at the opposite signal using the higher time frames. But when i run it like this, it keeps removing my behavior requests. Getting very annoyed with this.
@BOB – I set it a few indicators i like to use on multiple time frames, and had been setting “reverse” so that its following the market the way i normally would consider. I’ve noticed the generator removes my reversal behavior and usually changes it to no reduction.
