I'm totally ignorant in this area, please help and give step by step instructions.

Search the forum for "MaximumBarsLimit" and you'll find the solution in several places: http://forexsb.com/forum/search/579440013/

I use a lot of  1min and 5 min period, hence, how many years or bars are sufficient to prevent curve fitting?  And what adjustments do I need to do to my FSB in order to obtain more historical data or bars?  I'm totally ignorant in this area, please help and give step by step instructions.

The problem if you generate H1 with 12 years the generation is very slow.
Better is to generate for 4 years and check für 12 years.

The biggest problem is we have to check strategy by strategy seperately. It will be good if the Strategie builder will support this test.

You can browse the documentation to learn of the JForex qualities and requirements.

Myself, I just use the data provided in FSBPro as it comes from the same place as Tickstory and seems to be satisfactory for my purpose.

I think that Tickstory when configured to do so will enable MT4 to use tickdata.

I usually work with higher time frames and do not see any need for tickdata.

I am not really the one to ask advanced questions of, I use FSBPro 'out of the box' and am not really interested in sophistication, FSBPro offers a heck of a lot as it is.

I have software that applies some indicators to the balance of the results in a report, that might be good if using it for daily trading, I have not seen anything that would work with intraday trading. For measuring the equity line. looks good.

Hi BlaiserBoy, please make any comments in the following

1> I think there are statistics packages which can be used with End Of Day data.
We need to collect the data of the balance (even if the EA i.e.  works virtually for loss times) each day. Any idea?

=====

By the way, I succeeded to download tick data CSV file using Tickstory for a small period.

2> MT5 and MT4 cannot use Tick Data. Right?

3> FSB it can import, if the data have the format of Jforex.
     Do you know this format or suggest special selection in Tickstory?

4> Can you recommend an easy way to do it?

Thanks in Advance.

I would like to see indicators applied to the Balance Data by Popov. Anyway...

I have heard that before. Do you have more info? What indicators can be applied and what is the purpose?

This was tested out at Hopwood's forum some time ago, turned out to be not profitable according to Garyfritz.

The main  idea is  to leave EA to run only when trend of wins exists (the easy part). Just an idea.
This part means some restrictions. But it does not look difficult to be selected.

In Electronics is the feedback signal. Which is used to correct the EA appropriately.

So you want to reduce curve-fitting by using more bars? That sounds like a good idea.

The search for Grail is open here.

There are and other possibilities i.e. treating the behavior of indicators. It depends on approach of trading, which is limited by the kind of indicators used to see success or not.

The search for Grail is open and here and I did not discover it myself.

Generally speaking indicators help to see a situation better. EAs use that to extend a situation to the future.
How lucky they can be it depends on their "stability" behavior. There are theories speaking on that. Μonte Carlo is one example of it.
