Yeah, and one more thing I just wonder, when I use time setting like this:

Monday – Thursday: 00:15 – 24:00

Friday: 00:00 – 23:45

Close trades at the end of Friday

No trade on Sunday

I’m using 15M timeframe

 

I have checked my trading account, orders are exactly like in the backtest journal, if we put EAs to work before open on Monday but not during the week, and pull off EAs at weekend.

 

So Im thinking about can it help with EAs, because I just think that when we use Demo account and choose the best performer,

for example, there maybe a chance that they are in there winning phase (not because  they are actually  the best), and when we put them in trading account, they ‘can’ start loosing.

 

From your advices, I get that we should trade no more than 10 EAs (each 0.01 lot / $1000) .

So I will trade on 5 pairs, 2 EAs on each one:

EURUSD

EURGBP

EURJPY

GBPUSD

USDJPY

 

So now I’m planning to skip the demo part, as the journal in backtest of EA Studio can actually ‘do’ it (we can always update the latest data to the studio and see how the EAs would have performed)

 

So my plan is just using the out of sample or walk forward testing to validate my robots,

and replace old ones only when I have new generated with better statistics in backtest and validator.

Of course this can only be done with specific time setting and we can only change EAs at the end of week, but I dont think that is a problem.

What do you guys think ?

Thank you, everything seem to be safer and more simple if I can reduce greed and increase capital

[Animti]

Thank you for your advice.

 

[Animti]

Thank you, but yeah, it’s still sad a bit to look at the expected return when your total lots is 0.1 per $1000 🙂

[Animti]

So do you use 0.1 lot or 0.01 lot per EA for the best 5-10 EAs, I just simply think that the more EAs, the greater diversification it is

What the typical drawdown for 99 EAs for 3 pairs (EU,GU,EG), because I’m planning to use them in my live account, can you give me a rough estimation or is there a way I can get it through backtesting

It would be really helpful, what the typical drawdown for 99 EAs for 3 pairs (EU,GU,EG), because I’m planning to use them in my live account, can you give me a rough estimation or is there a way I can get it through backtesting

[Animti]

it’s great to get help from you guys, such a genuin and  generous community

[Animti]

Thank you I’ll keep that in mind

Hi, I’ve noticed that my EAs often close with losses in low activity time (late NY or Asian session) or in range market like today, is there a way to create EA that have a more consistent result. Thank you

[Animti]

Thanks for your advice, still I’m a bit confused here.

Normally, I will update my EAs once they reach 5 trades, however as you said it can take days or even weeks for the EAs to match backrest.

So I’m thinking about updating every week or two, do you think the EAs are still ‘potent’ after a one or two weeks?

I’m just afraid that they will start to lose after a period of time…

[Animti]

And a lot of WIN, also mostly from GBPUSD

[Animti]

This is my results, a lot of losing orders in a row, a lot of them are GBPUSD buy

[Animti]

This is in backtest, as you can see there was already a BUY order, which was a win during the period 31 Aug

[Animti]

I cannot post pictures in one reply  so I will post them here

This is my trading account, as you can see there is a sell trade in Aug 31
