Building a successful EA portfolio from 4-5 EA-s

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)

$1000 account balance is difficult to maintain and grow safely with only one EA, let alone five EAs.
Even $10,000 may not be sufficient capital to permit the EAs to survive.
I have tried many EAs, and for 99% there is always an event that will test the EAs during drawdown.

I can only recommend Hamster Scalping EA, but it very much depends upon your settings also.

Hi bluepanther,

I mean the $1000 testing account for ONE EA not for five.
There are EA-s on the market that work even with $500 start capital.
It does not mean that we want to operate with such a little investment, but if the EA survives 1 year back test with only $ 500 start capital, then this is the primary proof that it can be used for long term.
By the way, exactly Hamster is one of them which do that. I still have good experience with AF global, which includes itself 3 strategies. It does have marti, but if you if you use it wisely and cautiously, it is very useful.
Do you still have any that you tested, and was particularly stable?

I hate to repeat myself, but even one EA on $1000 can be difficult to maintain and grow safely. It really depends upon the strategy employed.
I can only recommend Hamster Scalping, but even an EA like this can blow your account depending on the settings you use.
You need a good EA, and you also need a good Preset. The EA alone is worth little if you don't set it up right.

High bluepanther,

Hamster= great results on BT, but bad in FW test.
I've some set files, but none of them turns up on live account.
Can you share yours pls which you have good experience with?
Thanks
