Brainless solution: Pray that Popov's profit protection update quickly come, so can exit better (whereby you will have lots of drop down list to choose from), otherwise (use some brain) look into your indicators and examine each time frame to pinpoint an excellent exit concept/theory.

I've come to the point of mental exhaustion, that I sometime want the brainless solution but that's because I've used some much of my brain...laying down conditions after conditions for my hundreds of EA and manually optimized them.  So I do have excuse to opt for the brainless path.

Hi Mr. Popov,

I´ve already posted this as an extra post, but for completeness, I´d love to see in FSB:

1) Generating strategies for multi-symbols (unlimited amount of markets) to find universal strategies that work on many markets and are very stable.

2) Have a measure in the strategy statistics for equity curve stability between 0% (not a straight line at all) and 100% (equity growth follows a absolutely straight ideal line from start to end). This should also be added as a acceptance criteria too.
This is a very important measure in my opinion since our strategies should always have a as good as possible equal  growth in all market conditions, which also greatly adds to the stability of the generated strategy by the way (at least from my experience in generating automated systems as a full time job for 8 years).

3) In relation to #2: Right now the "Filter non-linear balance pattern" which is similar to my suggestion in #2, does not seem to work correctly can you check that one please if it is correct? Because even if setting it to 10% only, a lot of strategies with very unstable equity curve go to the collection still.

4) Have a custom fitness formula (e.g. "netprofit / drawdown * stability") and weighted fitness possibility (e.g. put 50% weight on netprofit, 25% weight on drawdown and 25% weight on stability) as a "acceptance criteria" AND for sorting the collected strategies by that criteria as well (I love that feature from StrategyQuant).

5) Please remove the "Working time in minutes" for the generator (or make it accept a 0 = "until manually stopped") since I plan to run FSB Pro on a server and the generating process can last for months. It would be a pity if I must restart each instance all ~9 days because of that limitation.

Thanks so much for your great work at your masterpiece that you are following SO many years already. Big thanks and respect again!

One more I just noticed is not there yet: Symmetry between long and short profit in % in the stats of each strategy, that is a great stability measure as well, especially for longer data-horizon strategies.

Can “Minimum profit per day” parameter in Acceptance Criteria (default and minimum is 1 € or 1 USD) be changed so it will allow values from 0.1€ and up? I am testing all my strategies with a start balance of a low value, for example 200€, so it is OK for me if the minimum profit will be under 1 € per day.

Maybe there is a setup file in FSB which will allow me to change this value by myself?

As it is today I have to avoid using this parameter which will result in a stack of 100 strategies in a Collection, some of them with negative balance sheet, which I am trying to avoid.

It was set before but appeared that there are windows installation that do not support GMT.

The problem is that the backtests are old and we don't know what is the real performance now. I'm considering a better solution - to make a service that will recalculate all strategies once a day (at least these that are using the provided FSB Data and standard indicators.). Then we can have real sorting.

Agree re Stagnation being important, however, there is a control in the Acceptance Criteria that allows us to filter it, thereby influencing our optimizations after we start using a strategy.

My remedy for stagnation so far has been to examine the period to see what I can use as an additional strategy to get improved activity in that period, that is not always available.

To add The Lock option to ( strategy properties ) some times further work on a specific strategies completely change and cannot be completed because generator start to add and reverse and reduce the positions
kindly add the lock bottom to it

only a reminder-link to get into this wish list ;-)
thank you

advanced indicator properties

all elements of this window have to be set manually before running generator  but this not happening with ( logical groups)
when i select a group and link all slots then run the generator the logical group changed !!!!!

Do you have any way to control the logical group window  to be more flexible in use!  see the picture

I wish FSB pro will be as fast as EA studio in generating strategy, My VPS only has 4 Cores Processors, if using 50000 data, it  can only do 120000 calculations in 24 hours.

Hi,

I am just wondering if any of this has been implemented yet into FSB Pro? Especially the working with multi-markets for generating and especially for optimizing a strategy to multiple symbols at once to find the best universal setting which works best on all symbols at once. Would really be be buying FSB Pro once this is implemented.

Thank you:)
