Sometimes they also combine and filter the data for their purposes. Also, different brokers have data feeds from different timezones. It all makes it necessary to generate strategies specifically for our broker on the exact data we are going later to trade. text/html 2018-01-25T13:35:56+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://forexsb.com/wiki/faq/are_there_free_upgrades_for_licensed_users?rev=1516887356&do=diff If I get Lifetime versions - Are future versions upgrade release free or chargeable?

Fortunately, we are not focused on single robots of any kind. We know any single robot can fail. We prefer to trade a portfolio of multiple robots. If a robot is profiting we let it profit. If it does not profit - we replace it with a new one. Our products make this workflow possible. It is relatively cheap in time and effort to create a new robot to replace an underperformer in your portfolio. text/html 2018-01-25T13:35:48+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://forexsb.com/wiki/faq/cheapest_way_to_get_license?rev=1516887348&do=diff What is the cheapest way to get a license FSB Pro / EA Studio?

EA Studio is specially designed to be fast and reliable. It is a result of more than 15 years of study and development of backtesting algorithms. We started working on it in 2001 and copyrighted it in USA in 2006. We are constantly improving it from the start. The core company asset we develop is the backtesting engine.

The Generator and the Optimizer are so powerful that they may find trading rules that take advantages of every market move in order to find the most profitable strategy.

This is a very good observation! We started developing backtesting algorithms in 2001. We spend several years struggling with a discrepancy between the backtest results and the live trading results.
