Curve fitting was my biggest hurdle but with constant tweaking and testing one can start to detect when this is a problem and attenuate it. You can see my latest incarnation - hopefully now the almost-out-of-beta model which I can use long term. I tweak this model every weekend if I detect curve fitting - you'll know what it looks like when you see it 1000 times like I have.

So far my biggest challenge has not been FSB but the lack of stability of Empty4. The above model runs 10 separate FSB strategies for each currency pair which requires the attachment of 10 FST EA's to a chart. This has proved almost impossible to run on Empty4 as it crashes every few minutes.

My first solution was to automatically start Empty4 after each crash using AlwaysUp, although Process Lasso works also, but with 10 EA's attached this caused Empty4 to frequently hang up. Finally I split the 10 EA's across 3 instances of Empty4 and although AlwaysUp still has to restart each Empty4 terminal at least 100 times a day so far everything works without a hitch and no trades have been missed.

Popov and his team deserve a whole lot of kudos for what they have produced here as without it I simply would never have taken the plunge towards automated trading as everything else I tried was too time consuming to learn.
