Hello FXtalant,

the good thing with the courses is that they are independent. Each course provides different system, strategy, Expert Advisors  and at the same time you do not need any of the courses in order to take certain course. Which means that which ever course you select as a first will be useful.

I would suggest you take the Basic Algorithmic trading as a first first course if you do not have any experience in alto trading. I did it first and after that all the other were fluent to me. At the same time you get 3 experts there that  Petko updates all the time.

Hey Petko!

Thank you for the updates! Please, tell me how you succeed to make these strategies? I backtested one of the new USDCAD EA and here is the result:

You have 2300 count of trades(something I have not seen so far) and R-squared above 92??? That’s amazing!

I wish I will learn to create such EAs soon by myself!

Till then I will use yours 🙂

Thanks!

Petko, not that I am rushing but when are the courses coming up? 🙂 🙂 🙂

Hello Adam,

no stupid questions, even I asked many at the beginning 🙂

There is not really a recommendation for a computer or laptop, mine is similar to yours and with EA Studio it works very fast. Simply, it works on the browser. So it does not really require a lot of resources from the computer. FSB Pro is heavier and might run slower, but just give it a try…

Regarding the strategies, it is all about generating new ones, testing them and placing the best EAs on a live account. Petko shows that in nearly all the courses. I have some EAs running profitably from 5-6 months now…but every day I run the Reactor and leave it. Put on Demo the ones I like, and then I follow results. I palce on the live the ones that perform the best. Simple as that 🙂 Of course to get used with that it was not easy at all.

Hi Centcel,

It depends really. If I have enough strategies from the asset, I go to the next one or to another time frame with the same asset. When you find the good acceptance criteria for your data, you will have enough strategies every time you run the reactor.

Anyone back on the cryptos? The Bitcoin did some great moves recently.

Hello Thyago,

I am currently using Jfd and pepperstone, and at the beginning I saw that the demo was matching with the live? I have not  done the test recently, but it is easy to switch the data feed from one resource to the other.

All you need to do is to do is to export the data from the live server and the Demo server, and compare them in EA Studio.

Also, make sure to test it for same periods.

Hey Kiro,

how you have missed that 🙂

I have a huge folder with many folders inside for all the assets and time frames I trade. Now I separate the collections according to the different acceptance criteria, Stop Loss and Take Profit ranges, etc

Hello Simone,

welcome to the forum! Yes the Reactor is great tool, I use it every single day. If you succeed to make a plan and organize your day in a way that you can run it constantly will be the best. For example, what I learnt from the more experienced traders here, I run the Reactor before work for 500 min and then I run it one more time after work for another 600 min.

This was the program works for you when you are not on the computer.

and I run always 3 reactors simultaneously on my computer.

I think this is why there are the robustness tools, exactly to check if the strategy goes to over-optimization. They updated recently the Walk-Forward with the segments just to see if the strategy is optimized too much or not.

Bob, can you make it clear, please, what trick from Petko you are talking about? I have missed it…

[Thapelo]

Hello Petko,

it is great to hear you are adding captions. My English is not very good and it will be very useful to me. Thanks!

[Thapelo]

Hello Jacpin,

Thank you very much for the clarification. I have never tried generating EAs with the Gold, but definitely, I will give it a try. It will be also a good diversification in my portfolio.

Yes, I saw the recent updates and Petko’s videos, they are great!

[Thapelo]

Hello Jacpin, thank you very much for making this clear. So I guess if I take one I will just need to log into th VPS. Something like using the team viewer? Can I access it from the phone or the tablet to monitor the EAs?

[Thapelo]

Hello Jacpin,

how did you create EA with backtest output with 1 consecutive loss. That is so unbelievable for me…did you generate it or you built it manually.

[Thapelo]

Hello Edu,

the Meta Trader tester should be the same as the EA Studio tester. As Petko says there is something with the data when it arrives at EA Studio. The bad thing is that you can not do the robustness tests.
