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.
Go to MT4 Navigator window. Right click on Expert Advisors. This will compile the FTMO EA and it should now be seen below Expert Advisors.
Gareth,
We all get that error message from time to time so just ignore it. You can simply delete if you wish or just leave it there. EA Studio is still working correctly and gathering collections.
Chi,
After completing the FTMO Validation you will be given a live account to trade. If the FTMO live account you trade is profitable you will then be able to take profit.
Chi,
You have not properly installed the EA on MT4. Here is a video where Petko explains how to install an EA on MT4.
