Forex Software → Expert Advisor Studio → Freebie EURGBP is great
I've been working with this Freebie EURGBP (one of the Top3 from the Top10 app I believe) and this is looking great!
I am using Baazex-Demo data which is the same brokerage iFunds uses. I'm testing on a $10k account.
In my testing, the M30 is best. I'll include my strategy file below or you can just download the EA from the Freebie section.
I've adjusted entry lots to 3.44 which equates to ~5% max drawdown in the tests.
Look at all those green months!
Let me be straight with you, man and with everyone reading this.
Green months in a backtest mean nothing.
Backtests only show what worked in that specific past, not what will survive real markets.
And increasing your lot size to 3.44 on a demo account without even knowing if the system is statistically solid — is reckless, especially on a FIFO account.
You’re not validating the system; you’re amplifying the illusion.
It’s also clear you didn’t actually listen to what I said at the beginning of the week.
You’re still focusing on the smoothness of a line instead of the truth behind the data.
Look at 2018 and 2021 those are structural breaks, not “green month exceptions.”
That alone proves the curve isn’t stable.
People really need to stop treating EA Studio backtests like they’re proof of robustness.
They’re not.
EA Studio is a research tool, not a performance guarantee.
Its purpose is to help you understand the internal logic of a strategy and to apply every robustness filter possible Monte Carlo, OOS, and horizon shifts.
But even then, it’s only a starting point.
Real validation happens on demo and live data not inside the generator.
If you keep judging strategies by how “smooth” the equity line looks, you’ll keep repeating the same beginner loop no matter how many years pass.
I said it at the beginning of the week and I’ll say it again:
Stop looking for beauty in the curve start looking for truth in the data.
Because illusion doesn’t survive live execution.
And this is exactly why you’re still not profitable after 13 years and why you can’t build truly good robots.
You keep chasing short-term luck instead of long-term structure.
You live in an illusion.
I told you this publicly, and I told you privately again the same message.
Put your ego aside. Drop the stubbornness.
When someone with real experience gives you the roadmap, don’t just say “good points” and then three days later post another topic doing the exact opposite.
It makes no sense.
Why is everyone here so allergic to truth?
So obsessed with defending their methods, instead of admitting they don’t work?
You want success in trading? Then start by unlearning your comfort.
I’m not saying this to attack you I’m saying it because I’ve already been where you are.
And it’s painful to watch experienced people keep misleading beginners with these same topics, showing backtests as if they mean robustness.
They don’t.
The market doesn’t care about your ego, your curve, or your comfort.
It only respects discipline, data, and truth. Wake up my friend
Test your robots over a long period first on demo, then on live.
Only then you can come here and say “this robot is good.”
Because right now, your post isn’t proof it’s validation seeking.
You’re just excited by a bunch of green months, but you don’t see beyond them.
The Top10 app itself is good and yes, there are some solid robots in there.
But there’s also a clear disclaimer.
Go read it carefully.
The Top10 app gives you the option to pick strategies,
but it has always been stated that you must test them yourself
and by “test,” they mean demo and live, not backtest.
If you skip that step, you’re not following the process.
You’re just chasing excitement instead of data.
Looks excellent to me.
I don't know of any improvements to make.!
Hello Jurgen,
1. Please, keep good manner and respect the forum members opinion. Please!
2. I completely agree with you.
People really need to stop treating EA Studio backtests like they’re proof of robustness.
They’re not.
EA Studio is a research tool, not a performance guarantee.
Its purpose is to help you understand the internal logic of a strategy and to apply every robustness filter possible Monte Carlo, OOS, and horizon shifts.
But even then, it’s only a starting point.
EA Studio, Ex Gen, and FSB are excellent tools. They greatly facilitate the traders.
However, Traders are profitable, not the tools 
.
EA Studio is a tool for creating joy and inspiration. The trader creates and manages the profitable strategies.
I understand that trading requires professionalism and a huge dedication.
That's why I greatly respect your hard work.
Have fun and profit!
My apologies, I'm still learning EA Studio. It looks like I forgot to reset my account size from 100k to 10k. Now after doing that, the position size is reduced to 0.34 Lots - in order to achieve MaxDD of 5% on the account. That sounds a lot more realistic!
I'll read through your ideas Jurgen and I appreciate your input.
