Express Generator

Generate strategy collections offline

Feedback form experienced traders!

I'm loving Express Generators ability to rapidly work through 2.8 million strategies in about 6 minutes, and ascend 100,000 strategies (my settings), into a collection of 10,000 strategies, which I can then upload into EAS, using some acceptance criteria, and then sort them, and add the top 50 of the best to a portfolio to export.

If EAS can generate 5,000 strategies in an hour, and keep 300, then being able to generate 100,000 > 10,000 > 300 > 50 surely = the creme de la creme of strategies for the next 24 hours. In my book, thats an edge!

I cannot tell you how excited I am for express gen Popov!!😂

I estimate with same computing power I will be able to create the collections I want 10x faster with half my manual time with just the generator and validator part😎

IThen when the other tools such as Monte Carlo and normalised included for sure my manual time will at least half again.

Will be absolutely incredible, especially now that EA studio can import to FSB Pro. Feels like all the software works together super smoothly now to make everything much more powerful as a system.

HUGE development!!😎

Easy to Command and Control

Custom setting files

Express Generator uses a default settings file in INI format. We choose it because it is human-readable and allows comments.

We made it possible to have custom settings files, which overrides the default options. You specify only the options you want to change, which makes it easy for customization.

Command Line Parameters

Express Generator runs from the shell.

We use PowerShell or Command Prompt under Windows. However, all other terminals are supported - git Bash, Cygwin, or Mingw-w64. You can use PowerShell under macOS and Linux, or to use the native SH or Bash.

The command Line parameters override the settings files options.

All settings files options can be used as command line parameters 😎.

Automated Workflows

The screenshot to the right shows how one command starts another command with four different settings.

The best is that once we have different configurations we can run them with one click.

Fetch FX rates and Historical data

Fetch forex data

Express Generator fetches FX rates: node .\bin\fetch.js --fx-rates true

Express Generator can fetch historical data from our Premium Data service. It accesses all the major 28 forex symbols, cryptocurrencies, indices and some major stocks.

We specify the symbol or symbols we want to fetch, the periods and the length of the data series. node .\bin\fetch.js --symbols EURUSD GBPUSD --periods M5 M15 M30 --max-data-bars 50000

We can change the data timezone. For example, teh Central European Time UTC +1 is node .\bin\fetch.js --time-zone 1
