Yes! Thank you for sharing your method of editing the code Richard. Although I’m far from being ready to test it, I’ll bookmark this post for future reference. I’m sure you and Charbel found a good solution.
Petko’s answer was very informative to me as well. Thanks Petko.Sure! Here it is:
How many assets and/or EAs are you trading with?It’s a long thread but covers many of my questions.
Anyway, I’m creating my very own plan as we speak.
I’ve decided to stop doing what others do (including Petko) and find my own way. Learning from others’ methods rather than “copying” them is the best way to go. Please let me know what you think or whether you agree.One more thing yigitilmaz:
If you want to search this forum in a more efficient way than by using the search option provided, here’s (in my humble opinion) a better way:
Go to Google and type (in Google’s search box) exactly:
site:eaforexacademy.com/forums/
… followed by “space” and your keyword(s)
Hope I’m not breaking any rules! Otherwise, please delete my post. Thanks.No need!
Was a little confused, but I finally got it (Phew).
I also found a thread in this forum with somewhat the same topic.
Anyway, let me know if my request could do some good or am I a newbie demanding too much and wasting your time.
If so, I apologize!So you can do programming. Great!
Hope it works for you.
“Kifak” was a greeting which I thought you’d understand by putting 2 and 2 together 8-)Hey Petko,
You’re right!
It’s the number of bars that matters, but the numbers in my table are based on 100% bars e.g. weekends & holidays included.
According to my calculations, if I deduct roughly 29% (28.87%) from the number of bars, then I’m left with the actual number of bars delivered by Dukascopy.Thank you for your feedback.
Good question!
Spread fluctuations during a trade, especially around midnight and in weekends, occupy my mind too.
Is there a way to avoid them, other than using a pessimistic round up with factor 10 of a spread value in pips?
Referring to Petko’s REPLY #37268 in this forum, he says:
“You are using complete Historical data, so the EAs that are robust should go over the weekend without issues.”
So maybe we shouldn’t get too much into details and look at the big picture in stead?
According to what I’ve learned from Ilan Vardy (Forex Trading for Beginners Course + 40 robots monthly), it doesn’t make to much difference whether we choose a commission-based broker with zero (or low) spreads or a spread-based broker with zero commissions, the outcome is roughly the same.
Looking forward to a reply as well.
Kifak Charbel ;-)Hi Petko or anybody with experience,
How do you find (or calculate) the “Point value” shown in the illustration below?
It’s not specifically shown under the symbols contract specification.
Thanks :-)
The solution you & Mr. Popov gave me (illustrated above) was clear enough to me. A video recording would be nice but I think (not sure) I can manage without it (will hopefully know today). My plan is to prepare for generating strategies (based on your exact solution) and have enough data to run the Generator/Reactor so that I can start demo testing for a whole month starting next week. If I run into problems, I’ll certainly let you know by replying right here. I’m impressed by your concern and follow-up.
Thank you so much Petko!
Please add to My working process:
Between step 2 and 3:
I go to Tools > Symbol settings and adjust Spread, Swaps and Commission(Reason: I edited my above post, but when I submitted the edited post, it turned out that it was not edited)
Hey Petko,
Glad to hear from you too.
Thank you for clarifying how to decide the maximum data bars and that they still come from Dukascopy.As to the symbol settings’ issue:
Do you mean that I cannot adjust two sets of data from “Premium Data/Dukascopy” on the same pairs to be used on two different brokers respectively? Even if it’s done one set (on one broker) at a time?And yes! It would be nice to ask Mr. Popov if he can do something about it, and I’ll look forward to the outcome.
But before you trouble him with my request, please check the following example to see if I really have an issue!My working process:
1- I acquire data from the “Data App” (e.g. GBPUSD-H1.json).
2- I adjust the time zone to the broker-1’s time zone.
3- I download the data (GBPUSD-H1) to a folder I name “broker-1” on my computer.
4.1- I drag & drop (GBPUSD-H1) from my computer onto the EA Studio’s Drop zone.
4.2- The data show up under “My data” as “Premium Data GBPUSD – remove”
4.3- I select them from:
Generator > 1. Historical data > Data source = “Premium Data” ; Symbol = GBPUSD ; Period = H1 (+ other settings)
5- I run the Generator/reactorThen I repeat (1-5) with the same pair…
But in step (2) I adjust the time zone to my 2nd broker’s time zone,
and in step (3) I download to a folder I name “broker-2” on my computer.
The trouble comes when I reach step (4.3) where I select the data source…
It’s still called “Premium Data” EVEN THOUGH the data is adjusted to my 2nd “broker-2”. That’s what confuses me!
How can I see the difference when the source “Premium Data” is the same for both brokers?
I wish I could edit the name (or that Mr. Popov adjusts EA Studio to automatically change the name of the source) to e.g. “Premium Data-borker1” and “Premium Data-broker2”Without that feature, I feel that my only choice of comparing two brokers is to use the EA Studio Data Export Script. Right?
Hope I’m not too much trouble to anybody!
Thank you.
AsserGood course for a beginner. Super easy to follow. I went through it in one go (Not easy at my age… I used to be young and good looking… Now I’m only good looking). Ilan, with his charming South African accent, goes straight to the point.
