Since yesterday's update, the number of strategies that pass the same performance filters in EAS that were used to generate them in the Express Generator have dropped dramatically. I'll create a collection of 300 strategies for example with Express Generator, load them into EAS, and then check Use performance filters with the exact same criteria, max data bars under data horizon, and trading session hours, but less than 25 will pass validation now when it used to be 250+. Minimum win / loss ratio and minimum profit per day seem to be the two filters that are most out agreement between Express Generator and EAS for the few filters I use.

UPDATE: Nevermind, my bad, I figured it out! I accidently changed the max data bars on Express Generator and they weren't matching anymore. It's working as it had before now.

Uploaded Express Generator v2.12

New features:
- randomising MA methods. Now the indicators which allow using different MA methods have a 50% chance to change the default one.

Fixes:
- fixed a bug reported by GeekTrader - generating Trailing Stop Loss when the option is FixedOrTraling.
- renamed the "data-file" option to "data_file" in the default config file "gen.settings.ini"
- fixed a bug with "exit_trade_at" = Close when generating strategies for FSB Pro. Now the Moving Average indicator uses the Close prise with the corresponding logical rules as "The bar opens above MA after opening below it". This makes it a little closer to FSB Pro. Anyway, we don't have full compatibility because FSB Pro closes positions at Bar Close but EA Studio at Bar Open.

This Express Generator release can generate indicators with randomised MA Methods and is compatible with EA Studio v23.1.31 and FSB Pro v4.1

Please report any issues.

Thanks for the great update:-) And of course, I would like to see the MA method randomization in EA Studio too ;-) And if you can, you could also add the price randomization I've added for my personal use. Then it would also be great to be able to set the max period range for each indicator during randomization. You currently have this fixed at 45/50 for most indicators. Thanks.

P.S.: The most important feature I'd like to see, by the way, is the Optimizer from EA Studio being implemented into Express Generator. Because Express Generator is so much faster than EA Studio (almost double the speed), that would be really great.

The following indicators consider the "max_indicator_period" option. Their periods are related to the option's value.
- Alligator, Donchian Channel, Stochastics, Stochastics Signal

Uploaded Express Generator v2.19

This release comes with a few minor updates:
- fetch shows "from" time of the downloaded data
- MACD, MACD Signal, and Moving Average of Oscillator use the --max-indicator-period options
- sets the terminal header to show the current symbol and period. This is useful when we use multiple tabs or terminals.
- show the Account info when running.

Uploaded Express Generator v2.21

This release comes with a fixed first-bar parameter for some indicators to calculate equally with EA Studio.

LOL, crazy :-) Thanks for those optimizations, that's just extreme LOL. Wondering how much faster the Optimizer will be compared to EA Studio once it's implemented in EG.

Uploaded Express Generator v2.23

Optimised the signals loops.

Now Express Generator is about 4% faster.

Uploaded Express Generator v2.25

New features:
- introduced a "min-indicator-period" option.
- new update system without third-party dependencies.

Details:

The "min-indicator-period" option and the  "max-indicator-period" option set the indicators' period range used by the Generator.
The program validates the value of the setting and ensures that:
- min-indicator-period >= 2
- max-indicator-period - min-indicator-period >= 10
- max-indicator-period <= 1000

I created a new update system because the ZIP library I used so far started failing on the newest Nodejs versions: v19.8.0 and v19.8.1.
The new code I use works well on my tests.
If you see errors on or after the update, please download the complete Express Generator from the link you already have.

- Added [PROFIT] placeholder for the Collection's filename. See more info on this post: https://forexsb.com/forum/topic/9430/co … et-profit/
- Removed the "min-indicator-period" option.
- Fetch reports an error if we misspell a symbol name when fetching.
- Backported to NodeJS v12. Express Generator can now run on older Windows versions such as 7, 8, and 8.1. It helps to use it on older computers, VM, or other JavaScript engines like Deno or Bun.
- Removed all third-party dependencies. Now Express Generator consists of 100% own code.
- Preparations for including the Optimizer and the Normalizer in some of the following releases.

This release is much faster than the previous one. The performance gain is between 10% and 25% depending on the environment.

I spent the last week researching the history of the JavaScript language (for the 10th time) and decided that an older (ancient) programming style might lead to better runtime optimization. It appeared correct.

Please test it and share your observations.
