Got you!
Thanks Petko

[Asser]

Please note:
Same quick question: (see post #64814 above) but…

It WAS NOT in the course “Forex Trading with  EAs + 30 best strategies“.
Sorry for the confusion. I’m old…
but good looking nevertheless :-D
It was in Petko’s video with the title: “EURUSD Historical Data Explained“. It was at the video timeline: 05:52.

Please reply:
Was it an insignificant mistake? Or did Petko leave it to Friday on purpose?

Thanks.

Hey Petko,

One quick question:

In your course:
Forex Trading with Expert Advisors + 30 Best Strategies

I noticed that you’ve adjusted all the values in Tools > Symbol settings. BUT when it came to “Swap 3 days“, it was “Friday” with your broker, yet you left it as “Wednesday“.

Was it:
1) a mistake?
or
2) not so important (when you synchronize with your broker) whether you change it or leave it?

Thanks.

OK, I’m trying to digest your above guidance Ilan…

Two questions come to my mind:

1. If you “drag”(or import) a portfolio Expert (only one file with many EAs inside) to the Validator, you’ll be importing all the EAs inside, including the winning (and losing) EAs.
   It doesn’t make sense to me to recalculate the winning EAs in the Validator, since FXBlue already shows that they are winning.
2. Why are you removing all Acceptance criteria before running the validator?
   It doesn’t make sense either because logically you should be using the same Acceptance criteria that you used when generating the old strategies.

Thanks.

[Asser]

No need Ilan!
Found good articles in the blog.
Thanks again.
You’re the best ;-)

[Asser]

Very clear so far! Sounds simple too! But…
I’m very visual Ilan and have to see it and digest it so I understand it fully before practicing it. Therefore I’m going to search all the courses and the Blog to see if there are any videos or screenshots showcasing the process in action.
If you know where to look (I have all the courses), please let me know.
Is that the only method or the simplest one?
Thank you for the quick answer and for putting me on the right track Ilan, I really needed it.

Hey Tai,
Premium Data is data from Dukascopy as well.
Had the same question myself. You can read Petko’s answer by clicking here.
Have a great weekend.

[Asser]

Sure Petko. Delete it by all means. It’s not as useful as I thought.
Sometime I’d like to delete my stupid post myself but don’t know how or whether it’s allowed lol.
Thanks.

Hi Petko & yigityilmaz and everybody,

Here’s my plan and hopefully my roadmap:

Balance:
I have about $3000 to invest. Money from a family member, so I’d better do it right!

Broker:
Living in Europe, where CFD and high leverage trading are not welcome, and in order to avoid ESMA rules, I chose 2 Australian regulated brokers.

Assets:
Focusing (for now) on: EURUSD, GBPUSD, EURGBP and XAUUSD.

Historical data:
I’m convinced that approx. 5 years of historical data is adequate and gives us robust strategies. BUT I’m not sure that’s the way for me for two reasons:

1) I don’t have good historical data accumulated from my broker and it would take me years to accumulate 5 years of data.

2) Therefore, instead of using Dukascopy’s historical data and adjust them to my broker(s), I’m testing whether using the “EA Studio Data Export Script” combined with weekly update (to start with), gives me enough data from my broker. LOGICALLY fresh historical data (of a year or so), DIRECTLY from my own broker, should (theoretically & in my mind) be more suitable than 5-year-old data adjusted to conform with my broker. So, I’d like to see that with my own eyes.

As a beginner, I really miss a roadmap to START trading, not to CONTINUE trading. Many (if not all) of Petko’s lessons focus on how you continue trading – although he says different (no offense Petko – and sorry if I’m wrong).
What drew my attention (very much) is the fact that there’s a way to test the strategies you create without the need of demo trading. That’s by using the “OUT OF SAMPLE” method or (alternatively) by limiting your historical data using the “Data Horizon” when back-testing strategies.
I know that Petko doesn’t recommend trading live without demo trading first, but I’m getting old and running out of time & money. Furthermore, I see no harm in trading live with one or two EAs of 0.01 lot each per asset. THAT’S my plan.
Please comment.

Thank you.

Hey Petko,
My goal is to quickly convert bars into period of time. When I say quickly, I mean without the need to go into EA Studio and upload data (and then clean up) to see them converted. I’m sure I’m close to making an excel formula that does the job. Not sure if it’ll be useful. Sometimes I waste time on something that turns useful sometimes not. I’m not trying to share rubbish. Just trying to share what I see is probably useful.

Hi MARIN – HELLO MODERATOR:

I’m having a problem submitting my post. Obviously there’s a security plugin in Forex Academy that prevents me from submitting my post. Probably a word or a combination of words. Could you please get in touch with me (You have my email) so I can show you what I’m writing?

Hi Petko & yigityilmaz and everybody,

Here’s my plan and hopefully my roadmap:

Balance:
I have about $3000 to invest. Money from a family member, so I’d better do it right!

Broker:
I tried to reveal my broker but some security device prevented me from doing so. So I’ll skip this step.

Living in Europe, where CFD and high leverage trading are not welcome, and in order to avoid ESMA rules, I chose 2 Australian regulated brokers.

[Asser]

Sharing our experience is good, true!
One small remark, if I may:
The other set of currency pairs (EURUSD / EURJPY / GBPJPY) doesn’t have equal exposure. I’d add GBPUSD to it.
Let me explain:

Thank you for sharing yigityilmaz.
