Topic: How can i creat very active EA?

I would like to create a very active EA = 10 trades min per hours.

If i use 200 000 bars data this is 3333,33 hours and that would mean 33 333,33 deals as minimum

i have tried with the EA studio to change the acceptance criteria with this rule but it dosnt produce any EAs

i will be happy if anyone has an idea how this could be made with EA studio or FSB

Thank you

Re: How can i creat very active EA?

What TF are you using?

If you lock Bar Closing as a closing logic in the gen and use no other closing slot, you can have as many trades as there are bars.

Other possibility would be to set TP or SL or both at 5 pips (FSB's minimum). Entry point is a bit of an issue... Especially in backtesting.

Re: How can i creat very active EA?

I feel, at this time, FSB may be better for this purpose, although I have not had great luck.
Neither seems to like Stops and TP smaller than 25.

Perhaps you have to make a few candle patterns in one strategy so as to catch many patterns

I know that many people attempt to make scalping strategies,

I recall that Popov made a strategy that traded like crazy on a one minute chart, that was a long time ago. He was testing FSB to see how many trades he could make in a short time.

Re: How can i creat very active EA?

EA Studio does not offer patterns at this time. so FSBPro would have to be what is used....

And the candle colour, a few of them in the opening logic.

That to me would be what is needed.

Re: How can i creat very active EA?

FSBPro has also the Previous bar type indis, they would be helpful, if you were to have a few in the opening logic

Oscillators will not work well.

In FSBPro you can not have OR statements with a lock or they will not work in the generator to find the best parameters. That makes this tough.

Maybe have to make one pattern at a time and then combine them

Maybe a very tight ma cross, stop and reverse.

I am pretty sure you would have to use FSBPro as you can not control Take Profit and Stop Loss in EA Studio, nor can you control entry and exit times.

Re: How can i creat very active EA?

I usually modified the code myself and merged multiple EAs into one, usually 10 EAs.

But I think there's no limit on how many EA you can merge. So if you merge say 1000 EAs, I bet you're gonna have a very active EA. But it'll be a very tiring work.

Re: How can i creat very active EA?

Thank you for the suggestions guys. Really appreciate it.

Actually it is for a friend who works for a trading company and they need such an EA.

I took it as a challenge and i wanted to ask if someone has an idea.

I think also that using previous bar or bar closing will give the opportunity to open so many trades on M1 or M5 chart

Thank you again

Re: How can i creat very active EA?

Doing the coding is a great idea. I will have a look at that.

Thank you

N Bars Exit  - would be very useful.

Re: How can i creat very active EA?

Thank you for the suggestions.

Actually i remembered as well the video from popov - i think you are talking about the one that he used to do the stress test and i watched it again - using momentum + small Stop loss and Tp

i did it with smaller momentum and smaller SL and TP

and guess what? I am having even a profitable strategy witout optimising...

I will share it with you in the next post - just to see if i can do something better
