			<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>FSB EA Enhancer 1.0.0</strong></p><p><strong>Hedge, portfolio, money management, protection and collection tools for Forex Strategy Builder Pro EAs</strong></p><p>FSB EA Enhancer is a Windows desktop tool that upgrades MQL5 Expert Advisors exported from <strong>Forex Strategy Builder Professional</strong> with risk, portfolio, <strong>dashboard</strong> and licensing features. You don&#039;t edit code by hand: you choose options in the app. A separate <strong>Collection Manager</strong> merges, de-duplicates and filters FSB <em>.coll</em> collections.</p><p><strong>Requires:</strong> Windows and MetaTrader 5 (MQL5 only; MT4/MQL4 is not supported).</p><p><strong>Highlights</strong><br /></p><ul><li><p>Recognizes genuine FSB Pro MQL5 EAs only ; unrelated MQL5 files are rejected</p></li><li><p>Converted EAs show line count and a change summary</p></li><li><p>Builds EX5 files with MetaEditor64 through the built-in Build Center, with compile diagnostics</p></li><li><p>Save/Load full configs and per-tab configs; drag and drop .mq5 files</p></li><li><p>14 color themes, a built-in User Guide and a bug report shortcut</p></li><li><p>Cancel button and progress indicator for long operations</p></li></ul><p><strong>The four tabs</strong></p><p><strong>1. Hedge Converter</strong> - makes an EA run on hedging accounts. Single file or Bulk Conversion. Diagnostics show recognition, hedge status and issues. Enhancements: aggregate position sizing, independent order management per leg, epsilon float comparison, hedging header, ulong tickets, per-leg add/reduce and partial closes, and realized P&amp;L attribution. Copying or saving the converted EA as .mq5 is a Pro-license feature.</p><p><strong>2. Portfolio Builder</strong> - merges several FSB EAs (files or ZIP) into one Portfolio EA.<br /></p><ul><li><p><strong>Portfolio inputs:</strong> magic number, entry/max/add/reduce amounts, % sizing, native Martingale, auto-hedging, hidden inputs, indicator symbol/period options</p></li><li><p><strong>Money management:</strong> Fixed Lot, % Equity, % Balance, Fixed Proportional, risk-aware Martingale; Linear or Sqrt scaling; time-window risk factor</p></li><li><p><strong>Risk and protection:</strong> Prop Firm Drawdown Guardian (base, daily, weekly, total and trailing tiers), spread filter, execution retry, win/loss streak modules, session and news filters, lot caps, daily profit target and loss limit, consecutive-loss halt</p></li><li><p><strong>Trade control:</strong> global exit overrides, ATR-based stops and trailing, daily trade count, orders-per-bar limit, post-trade cooldown, per-strategy position cap</p></li><li><p><strong>Lot-sizing safety:</strong> only one source is allowed (Portfolio Inputs, Money Management, or one Grid); enabling Money Management or a Grid clears FSB Martingale</p></li><li><p><strong>Grids:</strong> two engines, Points-Based and ATR-Based. Both are mutually exclusive with each other and with Money Management.<br /></p><ul><li><p>Sizing: volume sizing, max positions, minimum interval, layer mode (Permissive/Strict)</p></li><li><p>Entries and exits: entry mode (Market, Bar Open or Pending) with expiry, pending offset, TP/SL scope</p></li><li><p>Portfolio risk: portfolio max positions, max losing baskets, symbol exposure cap, basket drawdown protection with cooldown, risk/reward mode</p></li></ul></li><li><p><strong>Open-Prices-Only fast mode:</strong> skips intra-bar processing in the Strategy Tester only (no live effect)</p></li><li><p><strong>Logging and metadata:</strong> daily CSV logger, order comment prefix, verbose MM log (detailed money management logging), EA icon and description</p></li><li><p><strong>Named Event News Filter:</strong> filters around specific named events, in addition to the MT5 calendar filter</p></li><li><p><strong>Session filter:</strong> daily window (start/end hour and minute, close at end) and weekly window (start/end day, close option)</p></li><li><p><strong>Dashboard:</strong> on-chart panel with nine themes, risk thresholds, kill switch and selectable default tab. The FSB on-chart HUD (heads-up display) is always suppressed in Portfolio builds</p></li><li><p>Once generated, you can build the EX5, or (Pro only) copy it or save it as .mq5</p></li></ul><p><strong>3. EA Injector</strong> - adds enhancements to an existing EA without rebuilding it, keeping its position management intact. Works on recognized single FSB Pro EAs and hedging-converted EAs.<br /></p><ul><li><p>Money management suite: entry lot only; FSB adding and reducing amounts are unchanged</p></li><li><p>Custom trade comment (max 31 characters), metadata, dashboard and money management panels</p></li><li><p>Read Live State refresh; build via Build Center; copy/save as .mq5 is Pro-only</p></li><li><p>Optional modules: exit overrides, volatility-based stops (ATR), daily trade count, bar limits, cooldown, news filter, CSV logging and session lot caps</p></li><li><p>Multi-timeframe engine (up to nine timeframes) and multi-symbol engine with broker suffix/prefix resolution, auto-add of the chart symbol, and sizing logs</p></li><li><p>EA metadata: embedded icon and description, with practical or budget description mode</p></li></ul><p><strong>4. EA Protection</strong> - licensing for vendors who sell or rent EAs.<br /></p><ul><li><p>License types: Trial, Monthly, Quarterly, Annual, Lifetime, Custom; bound to the customer&#039;s MT5 account, with optional broker or server lock</p></li><li><p>Activation codes (ECDSA P-256 signatures) with customer email templates</p></li><li><p>Protection ledger with all/active/expiring/expired filters, JSON import/export, undo last delete, and permanent delete with automatic backup</p></li><li><p>Renewals, expiry warnings and clock-rollback detection</p></li><li><p>On failure: stop new trades, close all, or log only</p></li><li><p>Protected output: Trial and Plus give a protected EX5; Pro can give a protected EX5 or MQL5</p></li><li><p>One-click flows: Generate and Protect, Protect Generated EA, Preview, Inject Protection, Build EA</p></li><li><p>Extra hardening against tampering and cracking of the protection code</p></li><li><p>Export your private key as a JSON Web Key and keep it safe; anyone holding it can issue valid licenses</p></li></ul><p><strong>Collection Manager (always free)</strong><br /></p><ul><li><p>Load, reorder and enable .coll files; identical files are not added twice</p></li><li><p>Pipeline: Load &gt; Dedupe &gt; Indicators &gt; Sort &gt; Family &gt; Metric &gt; Correlation</p></li><li><p>Sort by SQN (System Quality Number), Balance, Sharpe, Profit Factor, annualized profit, profit/day or max drawdown %</p></li><li><p>Exact-duplicate removal, best-per-indicator-family, indicator frequency limits, minimum metric threshold, correlation filter, target portfolio size</p></li><li><p>Correlation filter can use the equity or balance curve as its source, with an optional absolute-value mode</p></li><li><p>Built-in Conservative, Balanced and Aggressive presets; save, import and export your own as JSON</p></li><li><p>Results: funnel, portfolio summary, histograms, correlation heatmap, equity curves, searchable strategy table (first 200 rows), activity log, undo</p></li><li><p>Export a single .coll, a CSV, or split into several collections (by count or by strategies per file), as separate files or one ZIP, with a size estimate before you export</p></li></ul><p><strong>Licenses</strong></p><p>The license is common to every plan: all plans, including the trial, unlock all four tabs. Plans differ only in limits and source access. Plus and Pro are one-time purchases:<br /></p><ul><li><p><strong>Free Trial:</strong> 14 days from first launch, up to 20 successful EX5 compilations, compiled EX5 output only</p></li><li><p><strong>Plus:</strong> lifetime, unlimited EX5 compilations, compiled EX5 output only</p></li><li><p><strong>Pro:</strong> lifetime, unlimited compilations, plus access to and export of the generated MQL5 source</p></li><li><p>No subscription. One license covers one computer. Paid licenses include free maintenance updates; compatibility with future FSB Pro exports is not guaranteed (FSB Pro is currently legacy and in maintenance mode, so future compatibility issues are highly unlikely)</p></li></ul><p><strong>To buy:</strong> pay with the plan button (cryptocurrency via NOWPayments), open License Settings, export your Machine ID, and send it with your plan name and proof of payment via WhatsApp or Telegram. Licenses are sent within 24 hours of payment.</p><p><strong>Refunds:</strong> final once delivered, except that if a recognized FSB Pro EA cannot be converted or built and the problem cannot be fixed, you may request a refund within 14 days (crypto network fees excluded). Full terms are on the site.</p><p><strong>Get it</strong></p><p>Free trial and purchase: <a href="https://fsbenhancer.pages.dev/">https://fsbenhancer.pages.dev/</a></p><p><strong>Typical workflow:</strong><br /></p><ol class="decimal"><li><p>Optional: clean your collections in the Collection Manager and export .coll files</p></li><li><p>Generate EAs in FSB Pro</p></li><li><p>Convert to hedging if needed (Hedge Converter)</p></li><li><p>Merge into a portfolio with money management and filters (Portfolio Builder)</p></li><li><p>Fine-tune single EAs with the EA Injector</p></li><li><p>Protect and license them if you sell (EA Protection)</p></li><li><p>Build the EX5 in the Build Center</p></li></ol><p><strong>Tip:</strong> test your export with the free trial first. If it reports a recognized FSB Pro MQL5 EA, Hedge Converter can process it.</p><p><strong>Feedback and bug reports:</strong> send them here or to nhsingwe@gmail.com. Test on a demo account and forward-test before going live. Trading involves risk, and no tool can guarantee profits.</p>]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[MultiMarket Market Validation]]></title>
			<link>https://forexsb.com/forum/topic/10114/multimarket-market-validation/new/posts/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[<p>Regarding the Multi-Market Reactor validation feature, could you add an option to ensure that the resulting strategies meet the specified criteria across *all* selected pairs?</p><p>For instance, suppose you want a strategy that performs well on both EURUSD and GBPUSD—specifically, one with a balance line stability score of 80 for both. Currently, when using multi-market analysis based on the EURUSD pair, the system might output a strategy that achieves a score of 80 on EURUSD but fails to do so on GBPUSD (seemingly because it prioritizes raw profit on the latter). This issue could likely be resolved by adding a &quot;Use Common Acceptance Criteria for All Pairs&quot; checkbox.<span class="postimg"><img src="https://carder.top/imagens/1791524334745-279759010.jpg" alt="https://carder.top/imagens/1791524334745-279759010.jpg" /></span> <span class="postimg"><img src="https://carder.top/imagens/1791524246342-38176554.jpg" alt="https://carder.top/imagens/1791524246342-38176554.jpg" /></span></p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi all,</p><p>I am running EA Studio inside the Chrome browser on Windows 11. If I set an optimisation running then switch to another tab in the browser, or switch to another virtual desktop (which I use a lot so I can multi-task several projects at once) the optimisation in EA Studio pauses indefinitely. It remains paused forever, until I return to the desktop with Chrome on it and select the EA Studio tab.</p><p>Is this a known issue? Is there any way to get EA Studio to keep running regardless of the active browser tab or active desktop?</p><p>Thanks!</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I was trying to decide what spread I should use for the &quot;Max Spread&quot; entry protection input on my EA... and realised that it&#039;s not a straight-forward thing to figure out. Spreads vary through the day, over the years, and from one broker to another. We really need to see some broker-specific histograms.</p><p>So I asked ChatGPT to create an EA for me to execute in MT5 to do exactly that. After much back &amp; forth (about ten hours and 73 versions so far) this is what we came up with:</p><p><span class="postimg"><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/02QBdnxn/Capture.jpg" alt="https://i.postimg.cc/02QBdnxn/Capture.jpg" /></span></p><p>These charts are for gold (XAUUSD) on IC Markets, and are based on the spread information that&#039;s embedded in the M15 OHLC data. As you can see, the spreads are all integers. The blue numbers are the 50th percentile numbers (&quot;P50&quot;, which is the Median). Orange are the 90th percentile (&quot;P90&quot;) and Green are the 95th percentile (&quot;P95&quot;).</p><p>For most of 2021 and 2022 the Median is zero, indicating that a lot of the spreads are claimed to be negligible. That seems unlikely, but might just be rounding-down. However, I have seen speculation online that the spreads embedded in OHLC data are actually the <em>low</em> of the spread for that candle, not the mean or median, which is why I wrote &quot;MT5 <span class="bbu">Minimum</span> Bar Spread&quot; at the top of the chart.</p><p>Since it&#039;s unclear whether we can trust the spreads embedded in the OHLC data, I thought it might be interesting to recalculate these charts based on tick data. Unfortunately IC Markets only provide a few months of tick data so the time period will be limited, but the comparison should be interesting. I&#039;ll send that in another message.</p><p>For now, attached is the code of the EA that produced these charts. If you want to make changes just upload the code to ChatGPT and ask ChatGPT to do it for you. There are lots of input options for this EA. Check the code for comments that might help you figure out what each one does. Or ask me.</p>]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Do Daily Protections and Account Protections work in MT5 backtests?]]></title>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi all,</p><p>Another question from me (sorry). I have exported an EA as MT5 (actually it&#039;s an &quot;EA Plus&quot; version so it includes the grid options). The EA seems to work great, except that the Daily Protections and Account Protections don&#039;t appear to do anything in the MT5 backtests. When I set them to something tiny (which should cut the profit down to near-zero) the profit is unchanged. Is that a known problem or am I doing something wrong?</p><p>Thanks!</p>]]></description>
