I am using 5 years of data for both M15 and H1. I have all setting as per “Forex Strategy Course + 12 EAs I Trade Live” course and I am using Premium data starting from 2017. The EA Studio Reactor running H1 is doing fine and after 9 hours the Collections is 52. However, the EA Studio Reactor running M15 after 9 hours has Zero Collections. I stopped it. As a test I changed the minimum trades from 300 to 100 and after 10 minute it had collected 3 trades. I then stopped it. I reset minimum trades back to 300 and restarted the Reactor. After 2 minutes I got the following message “The Generator Cannot Find Strategies Possible reasons: Too strict Acceptance Criteria, Cannot make enough profit, Improper range of Stop Loss, Improper range of Take Profit.” I then set the minimum trades to 200 and still get the error message after 2 minutes. So I have set the minimum trades back to 100. After 11 minutes it has collected 3 strategies and will leave it there. I guess I am surprised that I have to set minimum trades to 100. I would have expected M15 to have more trades than H1. Does this seem correct to you? Or, does something seem not correct?
I checked section 4.1 today to see if the link had been fixed. Now there is no button to download EA’s!
I also took these courses:
Top 5 Forex Strategies from a Pro Trader + 5 Forex Robots
TOP 10 EURUSD EXPERT ADVISORS: TOP EA FOREX TRADINGYes, that helps! For some reason I was thinking the portfolio and export only applied to the generator.
Petko: Hopefully my portfolio of EA’s will do nicely between now and the next time CPI and PPI come out again in August. NFP Friday may present a nickup but I will trade through it. like you say sometimes these reports will go against the portfolio and other times go in its favor. Over the long term I would think the portfolio would come out the winner.
As promised I am updating the results of my EA Portfolio. This portfolio consists of 10 EA’s with each EA in a separate MT4 terminal. This portfolio is now 19 days old. This week the portfolio resulted in a small loss of $57.71 or -0.8% of portfolio balance. Up until this past week the portfolio had generated a nice 5.5% profit. I contribute the losses this past week due to the bad economic reports from CPI and PPI. I believe the results of this portfolio of EA’s will improve with time as more trades take place.
This past week I also update the portfolio with the July EA’s. Two of the MT4 accounts still had open trades in progress so I did not update these two accounts until these trades were closed.
The attached PNG file shows the status of the portfolio to date. This month I decided to show the Strategy table sorted by the profit column. One note about the totals of each column is the profit factor of 0.88 is not really accurate as several strategies don’t have any losses and therefore the profit factors cannot be calculated.
I will update this portfolio again at the end of July…
How do I get the July 50 EA’s? The button at section 4.1 of the course still links back to the June EA’s!
As promised I am now updating my portfolio of 10 EA’s comprising of EURUSD. I started this portfolio of EA’s 10 days ago. To put together this portfolio I opened 10 MT4 accounts. Five accounts with Oanda.com and five accounts with Forex.com in the United States. I funded each account with $400 and set the lot size to 0.05 lots. I selected the EA’s to use as discussed in a previous post shown above this post. The results show that I had a total profit of 5.5% over this 10 day period as shown in the attached picture. The picture also shows that over the last 3 days the portfolio had losses. I attribute these losses to the Non-Farm-Payroll report that came out Friday with the markets starting to brace for this report from Wednesday onward. The first 7 days of the existence of the portfolio showed profits with the flat period occurring because of the weekend. In reality, I don’t expect this portfolio to just make profits day after day. What I expect is for some days to be profitable and some with losses but overall I expect the trend to point in an upward direction. It will be interesting to see how this portfolio of EA’s does over the balance of July.
Some may be wondering how I am managing this portfolio. So far I have not made any changes to the EA’s. Each day I have been running the MT4 Strategy Tester on each of the accounts and looking at the resulting graphs to examine the trends. Two of the accounts have not yet had any buy or sell triggers. Two of the accounts are moving sideways. The remaining accounts have been fairly active. Overall the portfolio has exhibited an average of 2.8 trades per day. I have not yet received my 50 EA’s for July. However, once I receive them I will examine each by running them through the MT4 Strategy Tester and catalog the results as I have shown for the June EA’s in a previous post above. I may at that time make a few changes to the portfolio. However, the EA’s from my June selection I will continue to leave in the portfolio for another month as long as they continue to perform well. As for the lot size, once I feel completely confident in the performance of this portfolio I may increase lot size slowing in 0.1 lot increments. My overall goal would be a portfolio that increases by 1% per day. Over the last 10 days this portfolio has increased by 0.54% per day. Not bad for starters.
I will update again next weekend…
I went to section 4.1 every day and clicked on the button but all that shows up is the June folders containing the June EA’s. What am I doing wrong?
