I use ExpressGenerator to create strategies for use with EA Studio.  I find creating my strategies in ExpressGenerator to be about five times faster than creating strategies in EA Studio.  So by running the ExpressGenerator for 24 hours, or one day, I create about the same number of strategies that would take a week to create using EA Studio.  In the ExpressGenerator I filter the generated strategies using the Acceptance Criteria built into ExpressGenerator.  I do not use Monte Carlo in ExpressGenerator although it is available.  Once ExpressGenerator creates the strategies it saves them in a collection.  It is then necessary to import the collection into EA Studio.  In EA Studio I may decide to use Monte Carlo and to do any final filtering based upon how I am going to use the strategies.  I then select the strategies I decide to trade and download them as Expert Advisors.  Keep in mind ExpressGenerator works with EA Studio and is not a stand alone product.  Its value is in speeding up the process of creating strategies.  EA Studio is then used to convert the strategies into Expert Advisors.
