Hi everybody,
my goal is to build a successful EA portfolio from 4-5 EA-s with different trading strategy.
(scalping, breakout, fibo, pullback, news, swing etc.)
All who already have experience, or have some useful tips are invited to actively participate in order to
PUT TOGETHER a HIGH OPTIMIZED EA PORTFOLIO with different trading strategy.
I just started to test some EA-s using ONLY a small $ 1000 account.
(when the EA blow an $ 1000 account, then I'm not interested)
HERE ARE THE CONDITION THAT THE EA-s HAVE TO MEET :
1) EA must survive 3 YEARS with the default set, if not then ends up in the garbage. This way can be avoid those EA-s which have too huge DD. (Not interested an EA-s with 80% DD even if they make 3000% profit in a year)
2) EA must be profitable without optimization and the DD must be below 40% for 3 years.
3) Martingale and grid strategy can be max 20% of all EA's trades.
4) Try to avoid EA-s with equity curve points straight up then it’s the first sign of curve fitting. Ugly looking equity curves are preferred which clearly show the DD period.
Looking forward to your feedback and your EA suggestions with long live-test and exact strategy description. (incl. pairs time-frame and set files)
