I'm very happy that can finally share some screenshots of my work.
I'm developing a new backtesting application which will succeed FSB and EA Studio.

It is Strategy Builder Professional

It will be like EA Studio on steroids with the capability of FSB Pro.

The Builder part of the program - Editor, Optimizer, monte Carlo, Multi-market, Report, plus Data Hirizon, Data Import, Data Export, plus Collection will be free for everyone. It will include free backtesting and export of unlimited number of Expert Advisors.

A "Professional" license will be needed for the high-tech parts like Generator, Automated workflow, Portfolio, and some position scaling features like Martingale, Adding / Reducing, Grid...


I'm already working on Strategy Builder Professional for two years. Especially the last 20 days I worked 20 hours per day and achieved amassing results.



SBP = EA Studio

SBP provides tens of Strategy Features instead of Strategy Properties

Like Risk percent

I'm porting the FSB Pro backtester to the browser

https://image-holder.forexsb.com/store/sbp-equal-fsb-thumb.png


It will work beter on smaller screens. Ind will have Sai - the Strategy AI

https://image-holder.forexsb.com/store/sbp-two-column-sai-thumb.png

The Sai functionality is 1/3rd of the SBP code. It will be able to analyze the current page, the strategy, and the backtest results.

Sai can read the technical documentation and can answer specific questions for the program. I spent a lot of time generating special AI instructions from SBP screens and the source code, so the AI models to be helpful.


Sai can control SBP

> Set stop loss of 400 USD

https://image-holder.forexsb.com/store/sbp-set-stop-loss-400-usd-thumb.png

> Set meaningful strategy protections

Which protections do you want to add? Common choices are:
- Stop Loss (limit loss per position) — can also enable a trailing stop
- Take Profit (profit target)
- Break-even (move stop to entry once the position is in profit)
- Max Spread Protection (skip entries when spread is too wide)

> You decide

I'll start posting updates on SBP on daily basis.

Have fun!

I'm very happy that I succeeded in importing Tick Data from MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester.

This opens the possibility of having real-time, real-ticks, and real-spread testing in our next strategy builder and generator.

I already have a prototype of the data import.

How it works in my tests:

1. Run a special Expert Advisor on any symbol, M1, and "Every tick based on real ticks". It took 10 seconds for 5 years of tick data.
2. A tick data file is exported. Drag and drop it onto the new Strategy Builder Professional - 2 seconds for the import.
3. The Tick data are available within the program. Higher time frames are composed from the tick data. The data is stored locally in the browser.


Tick Data Import - 1.8 million barts

Higher Time-frame data composed from Ticks

A future version of the backtester will be able to open positions within the bars without ambiguity smile

Trade safe!

I was curious whether swaps change frequently and whether I need to use "real swaps" in my newest and greatest backtester.

I made a simple script to collect swaps from MetaTrader 5 for each day. It stores the swaps in a local database for later use.

I checked it today and noticed the swaps had already changed twice over the last two weeks.

https://image-holder.forexsb.com/store/mt-editor-db-swaps-2026-02-21-thumb.png

I'll try to find historical information for the swaps and will use it in my next program.

I spent a lot of time analysing the performance of EA Studio and Express Generator's indicators over the last two weeks.

I designed a simulation program to load a particular data file and calculate the Moving Average and RSI indicators.

I made it first in JavaScript using the code from Express Generator.

After testing, refactoring and optimisation, I made a similar program in C.

The C version was 2 times faster for calculating the Moving Average and 15% faster for RSI.

Then, I made it in Fortran. It took me a week to read several Fortran books and to "master" the language.
Expectedly, the Frotran version was about 30% faster than the C version.

I continued researching and learned that Fortran is faster than C, not because of the features it has but because of the features it does not have.

I almost accepted those results. However, I wondered "why" it happens and the particular reason.
Several days later, I learned a lot about modern 64-bit Assembly, disassembled the programs and studied the code.

I was very happy when I found the reason the Fortran code was faster. (It was rather geeky, but if you are interested, I may explain).

On that latter, I decided to use this knowledge to improve my current code.

The first result is compiling C to a similar assembly as Fortran. It practically made the program very similar.
Then, I did the same in JavaScript.

And ... surprise, surprise. All three programs, Fortran, C, and JavaScript, performed similarly.

Calculating 2000 indicators with periods from 1 to 200 on 200k bars.

=======================================
Indicator  Language       Time      
---------------------------------------
MA         Fortran        1.70 sec 
MA         C              1.72 sec 
MA         JavaScript     1.72 sec 
---------------------------------------
RSI        Fortran        6.81 sec 
RSI        C              6.80 sec 
RSI        JavaScript     6.84 sec 
=======================================

The tests are made under Linux with the latest GFortran, GCC, and NodeJS.
The optimisation level for Fortran and C was "O2".

I also made a test with the optimisation level "-Ofast." Both C and Fortran showed double improvement in performance.
"Ofast" option is not suitable for code distribution.

I'm going to use this knowledge in the PineGen generator.

I'm sharing the concept of the new PineGen application.

It will be a straightforward Strategy Builder and Generator for TradingView's Pine Script and others.

I'm designing PineGen's user experience and workflow.

I'm starting to work on a new trading-related application. I'll share more specific details later.

I'm working on a new backend framework for the new app. I aim to make it more secure, end users friendly, and easier for me to develop, debug, and maintain.

My first step is to develop new helper modules. I'll make all non-critical code open-source and publicly available.


Base64 encoding and decoding module for NodeJS

This module converts an arbitrary text to a combination of hexadecimal digits and letters suitable for online communication.

Example:
The text "Hello, World!" becomes: "SGVsbG8sIFdvcmxkIQ"
Later, the base64 text can be decoded to the original message.

This is very handy for the user's names and emails.

Link: https://github.com/PopovMP/base64


SHA-256 encoding module

This module encodes a piece of text with a private key. It encodes secure tokens to validate users.

For example, logging in to the software encodes your password in the browser. The password and your email go to the server, which checks if it corresponds to a currently active user. If so, the server will issue a secure token for the user.

The encoding works in one direction only. The encoded text cannot be recovered.

Link: https://github.com/PopovMP/sha256


JWT module

JWT stands for Jason Web Token. This is the secure token the server issues for a successfully logged-in user.
This module uses the above Base64 and SHA-256 modules.
The JWT token also contains information for the account type: free, trial, or premium...
It has an expiration time, which makes it handy for features such as "Remember me".

Link: https://github.com/PopovMP/jwt


File-writer

I'm especially happy with this piece of code. It reliably saves files to the disk, even if there are many overlapping save requests with different contents.

I will use this module in the Logger and the DataBase I'm developing.

For example, we can send 1000 append file requests, and the file-writer will ensure the correct file content with only two save operations.

for (let i = 1; i <= 1000; i++) {
    appendAndForget("mambo.txt", "Mambo number: " + i);
}

Link: https://github.com/PopovMP/file-writer


Logger

This module helps the server save log messages to a file or show them on the terminal. It prints the messages in different colours depending on their kind.

Currently, the options are added in the EA Studio's settings and on the Settings page.

The next stage is to start implementing them in all affected indicators.

I spend the last month on prototyping a new programming language for integration in our software.

Cinonim at GitHub

My goal was:
- the language to be with "Context free grammar"
- to be statically typed
- to be able to compile to WebAssembly online without third party modules.
- to be suitable for writing backtesting algorithms and custom indicators.

Currently the language is Turing Complete (proven by calculating Rule 110): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_110

The language is similar to C so I called it "Cinonim" (it is "synonym" in Bulgarian and starts with "c")

Cinonim source code

// Rule 110
// https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_110

#import-func js setCell    = void setCell(int index, int value)
#import-func js printTable = void printTable()
#export-func rule110 = rule110

int table[100];
const int SIZE = 100;

void logTable()
{
    int i;

    for (i=0; i<SIZE; i+=1)
        setCell(i, table[i]);

    printTable();
}

void initTable()
{
    int i;

    for (i=0; i<SIZE; i+=1)
        table[i] = 0;

    table[SIZE-1] = 1;
}

void rule110(const int maxCycles)
{
    int i, cycle;
    int pattern, temp;

    initTable();
    logTable();

    cycle = 0;
    while (cycle < maxCycles) {
        temp = table[0];

        for (i=1; i<SIZE-1; i+=1) {
            pattern = 100*temp + 10*table[i] + table[i+1];
            temp = table[i];

            if (pattern == 111) table[i] = 0;
            if (pattern == 110) table[i] = 1;
            if (pattern == 101) table[i] = 1;
            if (pattern == 100) table[i] = 0;
            if (pattern == 011) table[i] = 1;
            if (pattern == 010) table[i] = 1;
            if (pattern == 001) table[i] = 1;
            if (pattern == 000) table[i] = 0;
        }

        logTable();
        cycle += 1;
    }
}

I seem to remember it being very easy to program indicators and custom codes for stats, but now I can't seem to do anything.  Also creating the mqh files was fairly easy before.  Is my memory bad, or has something changed?

I don't really see any logic in the current .cs files, and I think I am missing include files?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

I'm going to start designing and building a strategy tester and a generator from scratch.

After ten years of working on FSB and FSB Pro and six years on EA Studio, I'm more experienced and more critical to my previous work.

Let's say I'm not completely happy with my achievements so far.

The significant drawbacks on the current backtesting engines are:
- FSB Pro is very complex, making it slow, impossible to fix or expand, and impossible to export pretty looking MQL code.
- EA Studio addresses the FSB Pro issues but lacks some requested features.

So what to do next?

Here is an outline of my plans and rationals:

Application:
- the product will be web-based - The browser-based applications are as fast as the classical desktop solutions.

Strategy structure:
- a single entry point and a single exit point - The strategies will open position at bar's Open and close at next bar's Open (on the same bar's Close for TradingView).
- Stop Loss, Take Profit, Break Even implemented as indicators. It will make it possible to have variable values based on Standard Deviation, previous High or Low,  percentage of the price, percentage of the account (I know some traders die for that smile ). Of course, they will accept fixed Pip or Point values also.
- variable entry-amount - lots, dollar value, equity %, free margin %...

Computation:
- the indicators will reuse data and signals arrays to reduce the memory allocation and cleanup.
- separation of the calculation code from the code for generating MQL, PineScript, ...
- calculating strategies on pristine market conditions - this will allow us to reject strategies that fail early.
- applying spread, slippage, swaps, commissions, Monte Carlo distortions later. It will make the calculations faster and reusable. For example, Monte Carlo effects can be indicator signals instead of hard-coded within the backtester.
     Imagine the simulation of 'Randomly skip entries'. Now the backtester looks at it every time because it doesn't know if it is allowed to open a position or not. It will be much easier to make it an indicator with buy and sell signals where the entries are randomly distributed and take, let's say, 20% of the length — no unique code for that purpose in the backtester anymore.
- having pristine strategy results will allow us to collect them on a central repo and recalculate them later on new data with specific market conditions applied. It will even not need to recalculate the indicators.
- calculating backtesting stats and applying Acceptance Criteria gradually - it means why to calculate R-squared if the strategy fails on Drawdown. We can reject it and continue with the next one.


Work in progress

I'm already working on a new application now.

It is a Generator for creating strategies for TradingView and exporting PineScript. It is a perfect moment to start from scratch because TradingView works differently from MetaTrader. It closes positions at Bar CLose and has a different set of embedded indicators.

I'll test my ideas with this app. I'm planning it to be simple and oriented towards traders with no experience with the algotrading. I hope it will take me 4-6 months to finish it.

Later, I'll see what works best and optimize EA Studio whit whatever is possible without breaking its current workflow.

My final goal is to test and calculate such fast to make a standby mobile phone application possible to calculate real-time trading signals.

Please share your opinion.

I think to make it possible to sort the strategies in a Collection by the profit made on a newer data.
When we export a Collection, it stores the time, and the stats on the last backtest in the file. (it is possible to add these records in the Portfolio Expert also)

Then, when we re-import the Collection, it shows the updated area of the chart in green (from the previous test to the moment of the newer test). However, we cannot see the actual performance.

My idea is to calculate the Net Profit made in the newer data period and add it to the sorting criteria.
These stats will be handy for re-validating of older collections.

It is also possible to add an OOS zone in days to serve the same purpose.

I think it will be able to test a prototype this week.
Do you think a proper name of the stat can be "OOS Profit"? It can be also available after generating strategies with OOS.

The OOS days options can be:
- Automatic
- 7 days
- 14 days
- 21 days
- 28 days
- 45 days
- 60 days
- 90 days

Where "Automatic" means from the previous backtest or from the Generator's OOS settings (also Validator and Reactor).

Any thoughts on that?
