Why do most EAs fail?

Most EAs fail due to strategies based on temporary advantages or over-optimization. Challenges for retail traders, such as spreads and correlations between markets, also hinder success. An adaptive, non-predictive approach is needed that isn't optimized for perfect backtest curves and is prepared to accept occasional losses. In summary, a dynamic and adaptable approach is required for algorithmic trading.

I have completed the third phase of development for my Metatrader 5 portfolio!

For over 3 years, my Expert Advisor has shown solid results, but I've always been concerned about the risk associated with its strategy.

So, from a new perspective, I've created more robust strategies and less over-optimized sets. I've also developed my own formulation to evaluate results, considering 10 key parameters such as Sharpe Ratio, number of trades, and Drawdown.

The incorporation of Software #QuantAnalyzer and its Portfolio Master has been crucial, allowing me to evaluate results from different angles, including asset decorrelation.

Moreover, the Monte Carlo evaluation has confirmed the strength of my new portfolio.

I'll soon begin testing this third phase with my own capital!

Have you also felt like you were being cheated when buying an EA?


⚠️Even if a (bad) developer does not have that intention, it is common and has an explanation.

Most expert advisors are built on temporary statistical advantages that eventually get exhausted.


The problem of over-optimization

Many developers fall into the trap of tuning their EAs to achieve perfect results in the past, without understanding that this perfection will not work in the future market.


Furthermore, everything is built to make it difficult for retailers to make money: spreads, swaps, commissions, delays, etc.

You'll be surprised to know that those few who make money from trading even pay more than 50% of their profits in one way or another.



The importance of diversification

And with how difficult it is to profit, most traders do not know how to diversify correctly, either because they do not understand the concept or do not have the necessary tools to do so.

If you use the same EA on EUR/USD and GBP/USD (which are strongly correlated), when EUR/USD trades lose, so will GBP/USD trades.


And what about EAs that compensate losing trades with winning trades?

Developers strive to create an EA that never fails in tests. But the market is never the same, so if the EA fails, this technique will wipe out months of profits in one trade.


Therefore. We need an EA that:

✅Does not exploit a temporary statistical advantage but can read the market and adapt.

✅It does not predict the market but follows it wherever it goes.

✅It does not work in correlated markets, so that when trades are lost in one market, they are not lost in the rest.

✅Allows for failure and assumes losses from time to time.

✅It is not optimized to have a perfect curve in backtests. Because a perfect curve only tells us that the EA has been over-optimized.

Greetings, quantitative traders!

I want to address a topic that I see causing some confusion among many hashtag#Metatrader users: the use of forward period in our backtests and how it can be misinterpreted.

It's common to think that when conducting a backtest with a forward period, the capital losses we observe at certain points on the graph indicate flaws in our strategy. However, let me dispel this misconception.

In the image I have shared, I have made an edit to clearly highlight that a forward period of 1/2 has been used. It's important to note that the drawdown seen in the graph does not represent a real capital loss, but rather a reset from the initial balance, where we are testing the configuration created during the sample period.

This process is essential for validating the robustness of our strategies. By using a forward period, we are simulating the performance of our strategy on data it has not seen before, allowing us to evaluate its ability to adapt to unknown market conditions.

Let's continue learning and improving together on our journey towards quantitative trading!

In this initial account of 200,000 euros, I am using a variant of the NEXUS   trading sets in their version for MT5. A distinctive feature of these sets is that a maximum number of operations is established. Once this limit is reached, all operations are closed, even those with a loss. I am trading 8 different symbols, each with its own set. I have tried to diversify the risk by using sets with different levels of exposure and approaching the account holistically as a portfolio.
