Thank you Popov, and for framing my question correctly.

I now understand about the increased complexity and time constraint.

Strategies with multiple timeframes interest me so I wanted to check about the possibility to try to generate strategies with multiple timeframes.

Thanks again.

Hi Hannahis

Thanks for your encouraging reply to an FSB beginner on this infinite learning curve; and for your helpful contributions here. Not to mention the others who so generously share their knowledge and expertise here.

I read all your posts, especially your multiple timeframe theory and construction methodology carefully. I seem to never find indicators that interact favorably when additional timeframes are added, maybe I'm doing something wrong.
Perhaps you'd consider posting a simple example/tutorial here, without giving away your hard-earned I.P.

I found an EA of yours you referred to on here on MQL5 a few days ago - but it seems disabled since then. It looked promising, with a very high quantity and frequency of trades; and I'd planned to subscribe to it to watch it in action - never done that yet. I think it was this

Anyway, thanks again for your encouragement; and all the best with your great work.

Hi Hannahis

Thanks for this. I was just about to edit my post to say I noticed a clue in your other posts.
"There 3 time frame (H4, 15min and 1min) forms the main "structure" of the trading theory.  For each time frame e.g. H4, I may use 1 or 2 indicators, especially those with "higher than" options."

I'll experiment a bit more with 'higher than' options.

When making strategies with multiple timeframes I presume you're selecting your lowest timeframe as the 'Strategy Period' and building the higher timeframes slots on that, using the 'Longer Timeframe' selector in each Strategy Slot - as per the way FSB is structured.

Thanks again, very much appreciated.

Hi Vidagig,

You can try using 1min time chart and input the conditions (use the steps given in my post "Longer Time Frame: How fast do you want to respond to market changes).  After you have in put the 3 key time frame "structure" i.e. H4, 15min and default.  Trying using the optimiser to help you find profitable trade.  Then from there you do your own observation and adjustment.

As for me, I have my own trading theory that I firmly trust and hence, I don't really use generator and optimiser features because it would change or "upset" my trading theory but for others, optimiser enhance their EA (so it all depends).  But generator and optimiser are good for those searching and figuring out. 

In my opinion, do your observation on a MT4 chart first.  Put all the indicators you shortlisted on the MT4 charts and adjust the parameters till you find a set of indicators and parameter that best respond to market changes (at most crossovers) but when you input the option in FSB pro, choose (higher than options because crossover only happened at an instant whereas "higher than" has a longer "happening" duration, so that if you choose crossover for 1 indicator and the rest of the indicators aren't ready yet, then you missed the opportunity to enter trade, likewise when the rest of the indicators are ready, your crossover indicator has already crossed over and now becomes "higher than", there again, another opportunity lost).  The advantage of using 1min time chart is that your EA is very responsive and hence, you don't need to waste too much time (only 1min lag) for your indicators to be in "higher than" positions to enter into a higher percentage chance of accuracy.  Whereas a H4 time chart, your indicators would be in "higher than" for 4 hours before you enter and you would have missed possible hundreds of pips because the price would have crossover 4 hours ago.

I suggest you use come caution regarding different time frames as sometimes people do not have good understanding of applications. Do some research on your own before blindly following others.
