 The ID consists of two numbers - major and minor. The major number identifies the strategy. The minor number shows the strategy version.  The ID consists of two numbers - major and minor. The major number identifies the strategy. The minor number shows the strategy version. 
  
-When the Generator works it creates thousands of strategies. Some of these strategies get into the Collection (based on their performance). Usually it's very easy to reach 100 strategies in the Collection. Often very hard to orient yourself on what the strategy is only by the balance curve. Many strategies have very similar balance curves  but are based on different trading rules and numeric parameters. Thus we added the strategy ID. The strategy ID easily shows how a strategy is related to other strategies that are loaded in EA Studio at this moment.+When the Generator works it creates thousands of strategies.

     * The **major** part of the ID is "156". The major part of the ID signifies the strategy has a distinct set of trading rules/indicators. So if we have a collection of 5 strategies using the same trading rules we will have 5 strategies with (major part) ID "156" in our collection.

     * The **minor** part of the ID is after the dot and is "5". The minor part of the ID means the strategy is basically the same as the other strategies with the same major ID. However it does differ by its indicator parameters.     * The **minor** part of the ID is after the dot and is "5".

-  * Strategy IDs are not permanent. Due to the unlimited number of possible strategies that exist. IDs get assigned to the strategies as soon as they as the strategies enter EA Studio. This means if you export a Collection that contains a strategy with an ID of 159.1 and you load it later into EA Studio it will probably have a completely different number.+  * Strategy IDs are not permanent (because of the unlimited number of possible strategies).
