If you want to keep a background tab at full speed, there is an extension called HackTimer that does the job: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detai … fdbpjeemem
It works quite well for me.

I used the Monte Carlo method to filter strategies generated from the 2000–2024 dataset.
As for the 2024–2026 data, I didn't filter it again because I treated it as unseen data. I simply recalculated the portfolio performance on this data range to check if my filtering method during the generation step was effective.
If you don't mind, could you please share the strategy collection you created, Ridwan?"
So, what do you think? Have you tried this "Blind HoldOut" method in your strategy-finding process?...
If so, are the results consistently reliable? And if so, how long can that strategy remain effective?
Hello, Traders,
Expert Advisor Studio v26.9.13 has been uploaded.
This release includes tow improvements:
- The Sharpe ratio formula has been updated. The previous formula was correct but far more conservative than the one used by MetaTrader. The old EA Studio formula calculated Sharpe ratio based on the closed deals. The new formula uses the Equity line. There are still differences in the exact numbers between EA Studio and MetaTrader 5, but the values are much closer now.
- Some indicator algorithms were optimized for speed - MACD, CCI, MFI, Bears Power, Bulls Power, ADX. The individual gain if different. MACD and RVI are 50% faster now. The rest of the indicators gain 7% - 24% speed improvements. I sued two methods for optimization - sliding windows instead of inner loops and inlining calculations instead of calling external functions. The Generator is about 5% faster now when all indicators are on and using 200k bars.
Have a joyful Sunday!
Hello, Тraders,
Expert Advisor Grid for MT5 v6.10 has been uploaded.
The Grid Expert Advisor leaves its "experimental" stage and gets a proper name and more flexible SL / TP management.
What's new
1. "Expert Advisor Grid" is now an official MT5 expert
The EA previously known as "Plus" is renamed to Expert Advisor Grid for MT5. The "under development" warning is gone, replaced with a clear note about the risk profile of grid trading.
2. Grid Stop Loss and Take Profit in Pips or Currency
Each grid exit level now has its own unit selector:
Grid Take Profit unit: Currency | Pips
Grid Take Profit (unit): 20
Grid Stop Loss unit: Currency | Pips
Grid Stop Loss (unit): 0 - Currency – works as before. The EA closes the whole grid when its total profit reaches the set amount.
- Pips – the EA converts pips to money automatically using the current total volume and tick value of the symbol. In practice, the grid closes when its weighted average entry price moves the set number of pips in your favor.
3. Inputs renamed
For clarity, the old inputs are replaced:
- Grid Take Profit (currency) → Grid Take Profit unit + Grid Take Profit (unit)
- Grid Stop Loss (currency) → Grid Stop Loss unit + Grid Stop Loss (unit)
The default unit is Currency, so the behavior of previously saved strategies is preserved. Please double-check the grid settings after updating, because the renamed inputs require re-selecting the values on strategies saved before this release.
Grid trading is high-risk and may result in significant account losses. The original strategy behavior is modified when Grid is enabled. Always test thoroughly in the MetaTrader Strategy Tester before live trading.
Trade safely!
We can import ES Studio Expert advisor sand Collections in SBP.
It maintains a separate collection for each market. It also offers Replace or Merge when importing a collection and such one already exists.
It also splits a mixed EA Studio collection to multiple homogenous ones.
It will take time to implement each feature of SBP and to ensure the corresponding MQL5 expert is fine.
Here is an example of Long only, Martingale, intrabar entry at MA, intrabar exit at 2-bands indicator Bollinger Bands.
One of the first strategies I found with the old FSB was 1-indicator, no-parameters Fractal strategy.
Now, 20 years later, the same strategy can be exported from SBP.
Isn't it amassing? We have a backtester with intrabar trading in real-time in the browser!!!
My plan for the next week Sep 7 - 13.
- fix the settings - account currency, initial account, leverage
- check if the user accounts work. Remove the "trial". SBP will not have trial accounts. It will have a "Free" part and "Pro" features (available for licensed users only). Block the Pro features (they will be implemented later).
- Expert Advisor export. Implementation of the current features in MQL. Making the expert working with indicators for Entry and Exit points (like FSB Pro, but with native speed).
- Expert Advisor back import.
- EA Studio's Experts import.
Ported the Bar Explorer from FSB Pro to SBP.
It shows the interpolated trajectory of the market price within a bar. It is useful see how the backtester manages cases when there is an execution ambiguity. For example, SL and TP withing the range of a bar.
The 28.82% number has gone! Many thanks!
