			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi, </p><p>I was playing around with FSB until recently when I discovered EA Studio. I had initially discounted this software because I hadn&#039;t really appreciated the full functionality, but that was my mistake - I think the workflow, the speed and the output are excellent and I am just working on a portfolio. I have a couple of Qs though : </p><p>1. You cannot set EA to trade a fixed amount of 1% like you can in FSB? I am using a online position calculator to work out my position size, currently this would be 0.013 on a stop loss of 50 pips. However, if I set EA to find my optimum stop loss and it comes back with a stop loss strategy of 100 pips, I should be trading 0.006 instead to make this still 1% of my account value. So, unless I set a fixed stop loss (or a trailing) I am unable to control my exposure with a non-fixed stop loss. Is there a better way I could be managing this? Or I just monitor account balance monthly/quarterly and change manually? </p><p>2. I cannot yet export the strategies into a single portfolio (which is an amazing feature). If I am using, say, 30 strategies at the moment on 30 charts, I will need to ensure the magic number is not overlapping. I saved the same EA twice and looked at the magic number - they are different. Does the software generate a random magic number each time, or should I be looking into the code to set this manually? Can 30 saved strategies be used, therefore, out of the box, without any manual changes to the magic number? </p><p>3. Is FSB compatible with EA studio in the sense that I can create a strategy in FSB and then robustness test this in EA? And in that way, I could use the portfolio manager in EA Studio to create portfolios from both sources. </p><p>4. I may be missing something obvious, but is it possible to save the profile settings in EA? I just logged in and everything seemed to have been set back to default. </p><p>5. Is there any relationship between the EA passing the robustness tests and balance line stability? </p><p>Thank you very much</p>]]></description>
