It takes a lot of time and a fairly powerful computer to test all currency pairs at the same time (this is possible in the MT5 strategy tester). If you fail to test, then check if there is enough space on the hard disk, and also reduce the time interval for testing.

Для тестирования всех валютных пар одновременно (это возможно в тестере стратегий МТ5) требуется много времени и достаточно мощный компьютер. Если вам не удаётся провести тестирование, то проверьте хватает ли места на жёстком диске, а так же уменьшайте временной интервал для тестирования.
🤖"Friday Monday" is similar to "Breakthrough Strategy". And I intentionally did not over-optimize the sets for "Breakthrough Strategy", as they have been showing good results for a long time on a real account. And created new optimized sets for the last 4 years in a new ea "Friday Monday". 🔺Because I like this strategy and I want more sets🔻 All settings are inside EA, so that you can do a simultaneous test of all sets for all pairs (in the strategy tester MT5) and 🔸no settings are required for real trading, just attach it to the chart of the desired currency pair (good for those who find it difficult to deal with sets or profiles).🔸 The "Breakthrough Strategy" and "Friday Monday" are configured to see each other's trades and thus not open a trade if another Expert has already opened a trade on this currency pair (there will be no two deals on one currency pair). This will protect the account from an excessive number of transactions, but at the same time, we will get more transactions and currency pairs than using one Expert. 🟢As a result, If you use both Breakthrough and FridayMonday (on the same account with my profiles), then the deals will be about 30% more (🔹deals will not be repeated for one symbol🔹), and the result will be averaged between them.

How should we treat the transition of time between coming Friday (+3) and Monday (+2)? My VPS timing is always not accurate and I need a fix setting for the offset :p

Ant Stone: Hi Konstantin, are you planning on leaving your Breakout and Friday Monday EA's on during the next couple of weeks with the US elections? Thanks
Hello, this Friday I am planning to halve the trading lot, and for the next weekend I will decide after the elections.
"GMT_Offset" worked incorrectly for brokers with server time other than +2/+3 GMT.
Now EA works correctly on any brokers.
There are no changes in the EA's logic.
In order to avoid configuration errors, use the updated profile with the new version.
There are now two profiles in the archive:
Standard (trading lot size: 0.01 for every $100 of balance), which I usually use.
Half Risk (trading lot size: 0.01 for every $200 balance), which I will switch to during dangerous market situations, such as now due to the US presidential election.

Сейчас ЕА корректно работает на любых брокерах.
Никаких изменений в логике эксперта нет.
Во избежание ошибок настройки, используйте обновлённый профиль с новой версией.
В архиве теперь два профиля:
Standard (размер торгового лота: 0.01 на каждые 100$ баланса), который я использую обычно .
HalfRisk (размер торгового лота: 0.01 на каждые 200$ баланса), на который я буду переключаться во время опасных рыночных ситуаций, таких как сейчас, ввиду президентских выборов в США.
Hello, this Friday I am planning to halve the trading lot, and for the next weekend I will decide after the elections.
Thanks, sounds sensible. Given the losses across most scalpers last night i think i'm going to sit the next couple of weeks out. The reason i asked was that i'm renting all your EA's atm but would rather retain my funds for another time than risk loosing them.
I just found that the first week result should be earning overall but there is a position EURUSD that did not open in your signal. Do you have idea of how to tackle this? I am using Hotforex ECN account.

Small differences in trades are normal (considering that this is scalping and different accounts). If 80-90% of transactions are the same, then everything is OK.

All my EAs (like most EAs) have time settings. To make sure that it is correct, expand any one chart in the terminal (if it is correct on one chart, then it is also correct on the others) and compare the GMT time in the advisor's information field with the GMT time on the Internet (for example, from the site https://time.is/GMT ). This must be done on a weekday when the currency market is open. This check must be performed when you first launch an Expert Advisor on a new VPS, as well as during the time change period (winter/summer).
So, if the GMT values coincide on the chart of the expert and the website on the Internet, then everything is correct, no action is required. And if the values do not match, then you need to change the EA parameters:
Frequently asked question: is "MM_Reg" different from MM?
"MM_Reg" is MM, but the trading lot will not decrease when there are drawdowns (and funds are withdrawn from the balance)⚠️. If you want the lot size to be recalculated (for example, when withdrawing part of the funds from the account), then change the lot value for "MM_Reg" or attach the EA to the chart again or restart the terminal.
All my sets use lot calculation - "MM_Reg"⚠️
To check the correctness of the lot calculation, take a look at the chart to which EA is attached and look at the displayed "Lot size next position" value:

Hi,
1) Yes, you need to enable one lot calculation (disable the rest - "false").
2) does not matter, "Adjust_DST_select" is only for the Tester.

Hello! This is an important post! Check it out⚠️
All my EAs (like most EAs) have time settings. To make sure that it is correct, expand any one chart in the terminal (if it is correct on one chart, then it is also correct on the others) and compare the GMT time in the advisor's information field with the GMT time on the Internet (for example, from the site https://time.is/GMT ). This must be done on a weekday when the currency market is open. This check must be performed when you first launch an Expert Advisor on a new VPS, as well as during the time change period (winter/summer).
So, if the GMT values coincide on the chart of the expert and the website on the Internet, then everything is correct, no action is required. And if the values do not match, then you need to change the EA parameters:
"GMT_Offset_AUTO"=false and set the "GMT_Offset_Manual" value yourself, according to the instructions https://www.mql5.com/en/blogs/post/682539
