Good afternoon All, just got my PC back up and running this week so sorry for the delayed response!
Yes Petko, when i set the reverse in my generator it ignores it. As I’m typing this, I just set the FSB generator and it switched from Reverse to No reduction.
Hey everybody, I’ve been trying to put in more work with FSB now that i have a computer that can handle it. It might just be me, but i noticed that when i set up the scans to do “Reverse” behaviors when i came back it had switched it to something totally different. Anybody else experience this?
@Petko – Sorry for the delayed response. Yes I really do treasure the OOS, especially the acceptance criteria control of both in and out of sample is extremely useful! Finally got my new computer yesterday which is why I’ve been radio silent. Looking forward to cranking out more strats!
@Jacpin – Greed is exactly what happened to me and why I posted my lessons chat. Account was too small for what I had been testing on demo, knowing the strategy was good I still didn’t listen to my feeling of lowering my leverage and poof 50% drawdown immediately.
@Haliffa – I only utilize regulated brokers for that reason. I’m here in the US so unfortunately I’m pretty limited on options. Currently I don’t use a US broker due to the crap leverage, and FIFO/ No hedging rules. So far I like what I’m seeing with my current broker and have started to make regular deposits to beef up my account faster.
@Andi- I meant what I’ve noticed on Demo is when you have a larger number of EA’s per asset 5+ you get way more traction than having 1-2 on maybe 3 assets. My account isn’t decreasing now that I’ve learned my lessons, but its veryyyyyy slooooooooow. The last two trades to close where what I closed after they were in limbo since 01/30/19. These were the two I mentioned that I was in over negative 200 pips on. Finally pulled the plug when they got back to neg 100 when I posted this chat.
Hola Andi! I’ve always used OOS, I was testing another software at the same time as FSB in 2017. With the search style they use OOS is very important. With it I still keep some of my data in my back pocket (about 3-6 months) just to really simulate and confirm simulated trading. This ensures at least for me the strategy has some strength I can depend on. Doing my method I may only find 1-5 strategies a day, but it helps me feel more secure with them. Even though we are testing on demo first, this keeps my demo free of clutter. Saves me time, space, and emotional excitement lol.
@Andi – Don’t give him any ideas! LOL the man makes enough money already!
I’ve actually decided to change my approach a little starting today. What I’ve been doing is running a scan on one market per day, and changing it up per all the markets I’m interested in. But looking at the results from my Demo today netting $520 today, turning my attention to getting my numbers up per asset before moving to the next one. I think if I can get around 5 strats or more on the live account before moving to the next will help keep my trades that are in limbo down. Today was a good day for GBPJPY.
@Jacpin – Ha yeah even though I’ve had the software for over a year now, I hadn’t really taken it serious till around December 2018. So still catching myself having interesting dilemmas lol
@Andi – Good to know! Thanks for the pro tip. I think another reason why I’m having difficulty finding EA’s now is that I’ve started to adjust the commission per my broker, so now finding strats that pass all stages of Reactor is tougher. I like to run a strict Monte Carlo.@Desita: For sure! LOL
Thank you Petko, I believe the next 30 days will be much better knowing what I know now. Even though you did warn us in your trainings haha. Sometimes I let my customers run into walls themselves before they turn around and listen to me as well. Lessons learned for sure!
I too have struggled with FSB, haven’t really used it in over 6 months due to my laptop practically crashing when I do (purchased December 2017). EA studio however has given me a lot of insight on what kind of strategies I like to use. Once I get my new PC up and running in the next month, I’ll be abusing FSB to try and duplicate similar Acceptance Criteria I like in EA Studios. I would recommend turning your attention to EA studio for now, figure out what search styles you like (since it’s way faster than FSB) then transition back to FSB for the higher robustness strats you can find there. This is currently what I’ve been doing myself. Buenas Suertes!!
@Andi – Yes I figured since I cant trade while sleeping or at work I might as well run it all night and day, then spend a few hours evaluating and adding to demo.
