Multi-Market (mm.js)

The Multi-Market script mm.js revalidates a collection of strategies across multiple markets. It combines two core capabilities:

data fetching from the Fetcher workflow
strategy validation from the Generator validator workflow

If you are new to ExGen workflows, begin with Quick Start before configuring Multi-Market runs.

How it works

Multi-Market runs this pipeline:

loads settings from ./bin/mm.settings.ini plus optional user settings and CLI overrides
resolves test markets from test_servers, test_periods, test_symbols, and count_of_tests
fetches required data files for each test market
validates each input strategy on each test market
counts passed tests per strategy and exports only those that meet min_passed_tests

Requirements

Input collection must be provided via input.
Symbol info files must exist for all test servers in ./res/<server>.json.
min_passed_tests must be less than or equal to count_of_tests.
Both count_of_tests and min_passed_tests must be 1 or greater.
You can prepare symbol info with Fetcher, for example: node ./bin/fetch.js –symbol-info true –server Premium.

Quick start

Validate a collection against 8 test markets and export strategies that pass at least 5 tests.

Command:

  express-generator> node ./bin/mm.js --server Premium --symbol EURUSD --period M30 --test-symbols auto --test-period M30 --test-server Premium --count-of-tests 8 --min-passed-tests 5

Run with a custom settings file and CLI override:

  express-generator> node ./bin/mm.js --settings mm.ini --symbol GBPUSD

Settings and priority

Multi-Market reads settings in this order (lowest to highest priority):

default settings file: ./bin/mm.settings.ini
user settings file(s): –settings my-mm.ini (or multiple files)
CLI options: for example –count-of-tests 8

Settings keys can be in snake case, camel case, or pascal case.

When several files are passed with –settings, each next file overrides keys from the previous one.

Common aliases are accepted:

settings and setting
test_servers and test_server
test_periods and test_period
test_symbols and test_symbol
