Regarding Bob’s comments – thank you for posting! Well, I can only judge what I know – and that’s your evaluation process for Ranger, and your Rangermaker tool that you sent me for replicating the process. If you have another process, I don’t know it.
I can understand that you are defending your tool and process. I also understand that my objections against parts of them, and my improvement suggestions, have been unwelcome. After all, I’m no famous trader and my objections were just based on dry math. So let’s agree that we disagree here. The suggested improvements are done, in the form of our evaluation shell, and we both have a fine product. Let’s make the best of it.

– Bob, you can post links, but then your comment needs approval by an editor.

Lotter is tilting at windmills. He does not know our Excalibur process . The proven performance of Excalibur and its predecessors can be fully seen on our website. Apparently either Lotter or some filter does not permit links in a comment. If you are interested take a look at XT99, Pardo Renaissance, Current Performance and our History. All a part of algo history.

I guess Lotter should be happy that I did invent it since WFA is central to his evaluation process.

RM is a piece of the Excalibur process. RangerZ is lacking much of the technology of Excalibur.

Johann is talking about a chimera. He does not know what it is.

It is fully implemented in our new product Ranger Prime and our new audio-visual program currently under development.

See the track record produced by Excalibur and its predecessors.

I never allowed Johann to see the full process. I have been at this for some time now and I am always open to new, valuable, proven ideas. The few ideas that Johann talked about added no value.

It was insofar inspired as we wanted a product like RangerMaker, but with a different process and user interface.

]]> Comment on Build Better Strategies! Part 3: The Development Process by Carlos M. https://financial-hacker.com/build-better-strategies-part-3-the-development-process/#comment-138223 Thu, 18 Jun 2026 20:32:26 +0000 http://www.financial-hacker.com/?p=1191#comment-138223 Great post on the dev process. The part that always trips people up is translating their edge into an EA that actually respects prop firm rules — daily drawdown limits, position sizing, all that. I’ve been using Ratio X EA Generator to build custom EAs from my strategy specs without touching MQL5, and honestly it saved me weeks on my last two challenge phases. The Prop Firm Safe template was solid as a base, then I just refined the risk parameters through the generator until it matched my firm’s exact requirements. Have you found that most traders struggle more with the coding part or with actually defining their risk rules clearly upfront?
