Course Description

Are you looking for a reliable way to trade Forex with automation and proven strategies?

This course introduces you to Forex Algorithmic Trading with Portfolio Expert Advisors and shows you how to apply Walk Forward Optimization for robust results. You will learn to trade with 30 Forex strategies simultaneously, diversify your risk, and improve your trading performance without coding.

I am Petko Aleksandrov, professional trader and head mentor at EA Forex Academy. Over the past decade, I have developed thousands of Expert Advisors (trading robots) and taught over 14,000 traders worldwide how to succeed in algo trading. In this course, I share a step-by-step method to automate trading, manage strategies, and apply Walk Forward Optimization for long-term success.

Why this course is unique

  • Includes 30 ready-to-trade Forex strategies inside Portfolio Expert Advisors

  • Learn Walk Forward Optimization as a key robustness test

  • Trade automatically with no programming skills required

  • Save time: manage strategies in just 15 minutes per week

  • Lifetime updates: strategies reviewed regularly for market conditions

What you will learn

  • How to trade Forex with Portfolio Expert Advisors containing 30 strategies

  • How to diversify risk by trading multiple strategies at once

  • How to place Expert Advisors on MetaTrader and start trading immediately

  • How to monitor and filter strategies to keep only the profitable ones

  • How to trade safely on a demo account before going live

  • How to eliminate emotions in trading and rely on data-driven results

  • How to apply Walk Forward Optimization to validate strategies

  • How to analyze trading performance and improve your account results

Why trade with 30 strategies?

Every Forex strategy has winning and losing phases. Relying on one system can be risky, but with 30 strategies in a portfolio, losses from one can be offset by profits from others. This diversification brings more stable and consistent results.

With Portfolio Expert Advisors, you can trade dozens of strategies in a single MetaTrader chart. This new technology makes it possible to automate large-scale strategies and manage them easily.

Walk Forward Optimization explained

One of the biggest challenges in Forex algorithmic trading is avoiding over-optimization. This course introduces you to Walk Forward Optimization, a professional tool for robustness testing. You will learn how to confirm that strategies perform well not only in the past but also in unseen market conditions.

This ensures that the Expert Advisors you use are reliable and built for long-term performance.

See what our students say about the course:

Kumar Pillai - I've purchased a number of Petko's FX algo trading courses. He's a really, really good instructor; very clear and shows while explaining what he's doing. I'd highly recommend his courses to anyone interested in algo trading. However, you've to do your part and actively listen to every word he's saying - don't rush! And you'd come away knowing exactly what to do. Then you must practice with a demo account and analyse the results over a number of weeks. I'm doing that now and am very happy with the results so far :) This course bundles all the 30 strategies in 3 separate robots (know as portfolio EAs), even further simplifying the already little maintenance work you have to do. Very nice!

Musadiq Samji - Professor Petko is an excellent instructor who is very knowledgeable in his field. He explains all topics in detail in an easy to follow instructions. I implemented his strategies already into real trading account. Highly recommend this course

Instructor Details

Petko Zhivkov Aleksandrov

My name is Petko Alexandrov, and I am a professional trader & investor.

Every year, I have over 10 000 new students joining my courses from around the world, which makes me very happy!

I have graduated from Trading in London. After that, I had many opportunities to work as an institutional trader and mentor.

I have worked for a couple of Brokers and trading companies, but there was always something missing for me because they were limiting me to create new strategies and systems for trading. Their purpose of working is different.

I started teaching, and I found out that this way, there were no limitations for me. I love to give all of my knowledge to the people that wish to learn. So I have created the first Trading Academy where you can learn algorithmic trading without IT Skills.

I can say that I deliver something different - the best strategies that I use, and I am not greedy to use them only by myself. I want more and more people to make profits from trading.

Nowadays, algorithmic trading is a must for every successful trader, and I use professional programs to develop and create all the strategies that I share in my courses. I have been testing and creating EAs for many years, and I will bring my best to you!

Thank you, Petko, Miran, and the entire team. I spent 18 months struggling with trading, going nowhere, until I came across this guy on Udemy who spoke with a funny accent (I’m Australian, so I get it—people think I talk funny too!). That guy was Petko. He was hilarious, and I thought, “Why not give one of his courses a shot?” A few months later, I’ve now purchased over 10 of his courses and even invested in the Optimal Pack from his website. I’ll be honest, there was a small issue at the start, but the team went above and beyond to fix it. They resolved it quickly, outside of business hours, just so I could get up and running. As a gesture of goodwill, they even gifted me another course for the inconvenience. Fast forward to today—I’m running over 300 robots and turning a profit. This has truly changed my life. I had to sell my car to fund these courses and my account balance, but it was worth it. Being on a disability pension due to metastatic cancer, this is my only way to generate income. If you ever have the chance to invest in the Expert Advisor Studio, I highly recommend it. If not, at least try their courses. The lifetime monthly updates they offer are phenomenal and have been invaluable to me. Thank you, Petko and the team, for everything. You have no idea how much you’ve changed my life.

The course is related to walk forward optimization's.. But in entire course the topic is covered in only for 1 single video and 1 update video. Same information can be found on his youtube channel for free. I was expecting the ENTIRE COURSE ON WALK FORWARD OPTIMIZATION only or major

By Ged Clayson on 5/30/2023

Very well conceived and presented. Very good for what it is. The use of expensive external software was described, although the software isn't necessary, as Petko provides regular updates of the expert advisors, but being dependent on those updates isn't ideal for me. My concern is what happens if the updates stop for whatever reason? My expectation was that the individual strategies would be explained and/or demonstrated, and that I would be shown how I could backtest and adjust the strategies myself using freely available software. Having completed the course, I now understand that the portfolio construction is a unique feature of the software demonstrated, and apart from enabling, pausing or disabling individual strategies, isn't really otherwise editable. Eg adding other expert advisors to the portfolios without using the origination software isn't possible. That wasn't apparent in the course description. However, if prospective purchasers don't want or need the flexibility that I describe and would have preferred, then I can happily recommend the course to them.

By Gary Fishlock on 2/4/2023

Can't go wrong with any of he's courses, especially this one. A must have for anyone wanting to learn about expert advisors. Would of given it at least another 10 stars for value for money and information learnt.

By Frederic Paulus on 9/30/2021

Great way to optimize the EAs with EA Studio... The Portfolio system is easy to manage even if you need to open the Meta Editor for it...Great course as always!

Excellent overview of expert advisors, how to evaluate strategies, and implementing them in the MT4 platform.

By Jose Cortes Llobat on 5/27/2020

I was interested in this course mainly because of the robustness tests explained in it. Like the other Petko´s courses that I already passed by, I learnt a lot and I am really happy to have enrolled in because the course met my expectations in what I wanted to learn. I like how teacher is explaining each chapter on the topic that he is talking about. Honestly, Petko´s courses are totally suggested to know about the algorithmic trading at all levels of knowledge. In addtion to that, the course resources are updated each month allowing to keep on learning over time.

By Roman Anglin on 10/8/2019

Petko's Courses have turned my trading career around. Algo trading at the end of the day is a trading "Style", it's not for everyone. I've found that it is for me over the past two years. Don't let the simplicity in his courses fool you, its still a lot of work, but his courses give you plenty of ideas to develop your own style for development. Don't deviate from it once you set Your rules. RA
