Hello Edu,
the free lectures are actually in video on the FSB Pro page: Tutorials for FSB Pro
The results are negative with you in the Monte Carlo because you have used nearly all of the options. And because you have small data, your EAs probably are a bit over-optimized.
With Monte Carlo I use it normally with the last 2 Strategy Variation, and I remove all the rest. Simply, the Monte Carlo in FSB Pro makes variety of test for the things you choose on the left side. So here it made many different tests with skip positions, slippage and so on. That is why the results is like that.
Give it a try only with the last two, because these are about the strategy. And this is what we care about.
The first one are the Market variations, if you have problems with your historical data(yours is just small) and the spread. Second are the Execution problems, which are about your broker. If you have such, you better change the broker.
Let me know what are the results with the last two only.
Kind regards,
Hello Edu,
you did a very good job! Only on the Slow MA period on the Moving Average crossover indicator. You see the ] sign after the 20. This means that it possible can give you a bigger number if you give it a bigger maximum range.
You better test the parameters from your brokers data. You can run a Monte Carlo test to see if the strategies are not over-optimized.
Also, EURGBP look really good on your data.
What you need to do is just leave the Meta Trader opened, and it will collect you more bars with the time. After that just drag the scripts over the Meta Trader, and place the data in the FSB.
You should try to generate strategies as well with FSB. Did you watch the free lectures that we have on the website from the developer of FSB? They are very useful, and they will give you better understanding of FSB.
I do not do 1 on 1 lessons any more. Simply because, during the last 1 year I had more than 12 000 students joining my courses, and I couldn’t do it physically, and to answer all mails. That is why we started the forum. So this way, when someone ask questions just like you did, all the other students will see the answers and solutions, and the support is much more effective and faster.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Kind regards,

Hello Edu,
Glad to hear from you. Actually you did not do properly some of the tests, and also it is very important to optimize the EAs according to your Historical data. As I explain in the course, the brokers provide very different quotes/prices, and that is why you will see some bad or negative resutls from the EAs I included in the course. That is why there is a lecture in the course, where I teach how to do proper optimization.
1. Regarding your Historical data, on USDJPY M1, I see that you have only 11479 bars on your FSB strategy, and with EURUSD and GBPUSD you have 65k. Make sure you get more bars for USDJPY, anyway 11k bars for M1 is really really small period of time.
2. The 65 000 bars is limitation from Meta Trader that you can remove. Go to Tools – Options and click on Charts.
Enter 9999999999999 as a number on both, and click on OK:
Restart Meta Trader, and press again the Home Key for the small time frames as M1 and M5 Then export again the data with the script for FSB.
And than you should make the test, and optimize the strategies using FSB as I show in the course
Hello,
I am am very glad to hear that you liked the videos and the course. Yes, currently it is a bit of issue trading portfolio of EAs on one currency pair in USA.
1. Actually here you are trying to fir the trading into the FIFO rule which would be very wrong. The idea of trading different strategies in one Portfolio is to diversify the risk. If you have a long entry, and all the rest EAs open long trades because of the first entry, and the price goes down? Obviously there will be a huge loss because all the positions are on the opposite direction.
1a. The Forex Strategy Builder Pro has the option to add to a trade. And that is different. When you use one strategy/expert advisor and it opens trade, with the FSB Pro you can select if you want to add to the position on the next same direction signal. You can add up to 20 times. This is much more applicable because the entries would be from the same strategy, and every next opened trade will confirm the direction. Actually I show that in the Top 5 Forex Strategies course, and 3 of the strategies are with adding option.
2. There is much better solution here, and Forex Software LTD is working on such Forex trading software. Since it is a “know how”, I can not share it before it is released. It will solve the problem, and it will change in total the algorithmic trading. However, I am not sure when it will be ready, not sure if it will be during 2018 at all.
But once it is ready, I will make sure that all my students know about it. because it will be game changing.
The solution at the moment for you is to create different portfolios for the different currency pairs. If you can test them on a Demo account with an international broker, and select only the best 1 performer per currency. After that you can place the selected EAs into live account with local broker. Since they are on different assets, it will not be against the FIFO rule.
Kind regards,
Hello Edu,
well, actually your broker provides more than most of the brokers. Most of them offer about 65k-70k bars. So your is about 30% more which is not bad.
You will need to leave your Meta Trader opened all the time, and it will collect bars for you.
What you can do as well is from time to time(like once a month) to click all time frames over the pairs you are collecting for.
About the option to add on the position. I stay with 0.03 in the course, just because I do not want the students to jump with huge lots from the beginning. In some of the strategies you will find that the profits will be better when you add more times. That is why i left the option available in the EAs.
Kind regards,
Also, when you export the History data using the Export Data to CSV MT4 in Meta trader. Right click on the script and click Modify.
In the code you can change the MAXBARS to 300000(for example), and then click Modify:
After that drag the script over the chart of the currency that you want to export Historical data for.
Hello Edu,
You can increase the number of bars in FSB pro. What you need to do is to go to FILE – User Files Folder. A folder will open. Than go to system and open Data sourse_your broker(for example with note pad).
When you scroll down, you will see that you have the Maximum bars set to 50 000. You can change the number to 300 000 for example.
Before saving the file, close the FSB Pro, and save the file. Then you can reopen it and use it.
Here is a video where I show step by step how to do that:
Also, from setting file you can increase the number of Slots(entry and exit conditions). By default they are set to 8, and you can increase that number.
Let me know if you have fixed it.
Hello Traderzonefx,
yes, actually we just launched the new course which is called Trading Portfolio Expert Advisors + 100 Strategies included
In the course I show how exactly I am using the Portfolio trading feature in EA Studio Forex trading software.
Yes, it is just as a regular Expert Advisors, but the difficulty comes when filtering the results and leaving only the strategies that are currently making profits.
In the course I show the 3 methods to filter the strategies and a trick in the code to eliminate the losing ones.
Hello Traderzonefx,
Glad to hear that you found the trading courses useful, and you are already on the profits. Take it easy, and be smart in the money management.
Petko, a silly question from me. If the EA Studio is web based, does it mean that we can use it in many broker or not? I see that FSB Pro comes with number of licenses, so If I take one, I need to use it on one computer only? What about EA Studio?
Petkooo, you are the man man!
I have replaced all bitcoin EAs and fx EA, and I am ready for the new month.
Thank you so much, glad to know you and learn from you
