			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Hi Vincenzo,<br />I am currently just using the automatic correlation checkbox (default) and it appears to work great. I have not had any issues with the correlation logic but I don&#039;t think there is yet a way to manually invoke this logic (for example when manually merging groups of collections).</p><p>However, your idea of running 3-day generator sessions and across varying timeframes is great. I like the idea of the 3 days because we know that any strategies across that collection will have the correlation filter applied. Also I agree the multi timeframe is a good plan to minimize correlation among those collections.</p><p>I am planning to run multiple generators nonstop. I&#039;d like to get the criteria strict enough that I don&#039;t really have to do much work once it finds and validates great strategies. But the 3 day cycle of review could make good sense I think.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Hi Dusktrader,</p><p>I usually run 3 sessions in parallel with a 3-day cycle.</p><p>To reduce the correlation risk you mentioned, I separate sessions by timeframe, for example:</p><p>Session #1 → EURUSD M15</p><p>Session #2 → EURUSD M30</p><p>Session #3 → EURUSD H1</p><p>This helps diversify both entry timing and trade frequency, limiting the chance that all sessions generate highly correlated strategies.</p><p>Which settings do you use in the correlation box?<br />I’ve never really tested those parameters in detail, so I’d be interested in your feedback.</p><p>Thanks,<br />Vincenzo</p><br /><br /><div class="quotebox"><cite>dusktrader wrote:</cite><blockquote><p>I&#039;ve noticed that when Reactor/Generator is running, it accumulates various strategies in the Collection, but then it will automatically skip some generated strategies if they are highly correlated.</p><p>But in a workflow where multiple Reactors are running, or Express Generator, then I would have multiple strategies and/or EAs that haven&#039;t been processed through that correlation filter.</p><p>I do not see a way currently to invoke the correlation filter manually.</p><p>What process is recommended to get this filtering done? Should I merge all the collections into one? Will this apply the correlation filter?</p><p>Presumably the correlation filter means that two strategies are performing &quot;nearly identical&quot; so therefore it would be less diversified logic to run both at the same time.</p><p>Thank you</p></blockquote></div>]]></content>
