It fixes a bug with the input parameter validation.
Now, we can set multiple symbols and periods in a settings file for "fetch".

Re: Express Generator - News and Updates
Uploaded Express Generator v2.52
It can fetch data from different data feeds we provide.
There is a new parameter in fetch: --server
The default value of --server is "Premium", so the default behaviour of "fetch" is unchanged.
The supported servers are: Premium, FTMO, BlackBull, MetaQuotes.
You can (and need to from time to time) update the symbols information:
node .\bin\fetch.js --server BlackBull --symbol-info trueFetch data from different servers:
// Fetch Premium data (both work)
node .\bin\fetch.js --symbol EURUSD --period M15 M30
node .\bin\fetch.js --server Premum --symbol EURUSD --period M15 M30
// Fetch FTMO data
node .\bin\fetch.js --server FTMO --symbol BTCUSD --period M15 M30

Re: Express Generator - News and Updates
Uploaded Express Generator v2.53
New feature: a "take_profit_gte_stop_loss" option.
Now it is possible to set overlapping Stop Loss and Take Profit ranges and to be sure the TP will be greater or equal to the SL.
Example:
;; Stop Loss
stop_loss_usage = AlwaysUse
stop_loss_type = Fixed
stop_loss_range_min = 10
stop_loss_range_max = 100
;; Take Profit
take_profit_usage = AlwaysUse
take_profit_range_min = 20
take_profit_range_max = 200
take_profit_gte_stop_loss = trueWhen the "take_profit_gte_stop_loss" is set to true, the Generator will choose SL and TP values in order to TP >= SL.
Trade Safe!
Re: Express Generator - News and Updates
Mr Popov, it is important to remember the following that even if the stop is equal to or smaller than what I have here, the Express generator still creates strategies that close before hitting the TPI stop, I don't know if it's a bug or my configuration, but every time I he creates a strategy in which the stop becomes long before it even gets there he simply closes the operation before accepting the Lost or accepting someone smaller than he should have he doesn't close exactly at the stop in the TP

Re: Express Generator - News and Updates
That´s because of the exit indicator(s) you are using. Disable them, and then only SL and TP will close a trade.
Re: Express Generator - News and Updates
the fact that all generated strategies come out outside the tp and stop loss is really a horrible thing because it makes the tp and stop loss unusable now I ask you what if Mr. Popov applied some rules like for example this
so when the maximum output indicator was zero, it would automatically configure the following option
function configureExitConditions(strategy) {
// Configura apenas Take Profit e Stop Loss como condições de saída
if (settings.take_profit_usage === 'AlwaysUse') {
strategy.takeProfit = {
min: settings.take_profit_range_min,
max: settings.take_profit_range_max
};
}
if (settings.stop_loss_usage === 'AlwaysUse') {
strategy.stopLoss = {
type: settings.stop_loss_type,
min: settings.stop_loss_range_min,
max: settings.stop_loss_range_max
};
}

This release comes with a lot of internal code cleaning, refactoring, and micro-optimization.
The fetch output is refined.
Express Generator fetches and stores the data in a format supported by EA Studio.

Re: Express Generator - News and Updates
Thanks for the updates, much appreciated.
I´ve got two questions, if you don´t mind:
1) Why is there no Pin Bar for the exit indicators in the default "gen.settings.ini" (in the /bin folder)? It does list Pin Bar only for the entry, although Pin Bar is just as useful as an exit indicator (and is supported as one in EA Studio too):

Re: Express Generator - News and Updates
> 1) Why is there no Pin Bar for the exit indicators in the default "gen.settings.ini"
The "Pin Bar" indicator only works as an entry indicator for Express Generator.
However, your post made me check it in EA Studio, and it is also available as an Exit rule.
I'll modify it in the next Express Generator release.
> 2) Do we need to update all old .INI files or will the old indicator formatting
Express Generator reads the old formatting and applies it to both Entry and Exit indicators as it was before.
You may update your settings at some time because I may deprecate the old options (in 1-2 years, of course)

Re: Express Generator - News and Updates
Express Generator V2.59 adds a Magic Number record to the exported collections.
This is an intermediate update. The current Express generator version has a bug. It calculates a different Magic number when revalidating strategies. It tried to fix the bug in v2.59, but it appears the bug is not the actual generator but in the way it imports the collections.
I'll upload a fix next Saturday, together with fixes for the other issues.

Hi Mr. Popov,
thanks for the updates, much appreciated.
However, it seems you already dropped support for the old format convention where the entry and exit indicators have not been separated? Using an old .ini file that uses the old formatting:

So the support for the old format has already been removed now or is this a bug?

This must be a bug.
Uploaded Express Generator v2.61.
It reads the legacy "ini" files and options with: ind_indicator_name = true
This release correctly remaps the old options to the new format.
Thank you for the report!
