Data Generation Tab

In this tab you can configure the initial parameters, add tasks to the queue and run them all in the tester to generate model data.

General parameters

• Files to move: Select the JSON file (with the Browse button) that contains a files_to_move field. This key must have an array with all the files the panel will move once each data generation pass finishes. Example:

{
    "files_to_move": [
        "EasySbAi\\data_tp.csv",
        "EasySbAi\\data_sl.csv",
        "EasySbAi\\data_pred.csv",
        "EasySbAi\\saclertp_median_iqr.csv",
        "EasySbAi\\saclersl_median_iqr.csv",
        "EasySbAi\\saclerpred_median_iqr.csv"
    ]
}

Use the ? button to automatically load a template with the correct structure.

• Expert path: Path to the Expert Advisor that will run in the tester. The path is relative to the MQL5\Experts\ folder. Example:

Advisors\ExpertMAMA.ex5

• Progress CSV file: CSV file where task progress is recorded. If an error occurs during execution, the panel can resume from the last saved point. Example:

progress.csv

The file is located in Common if the panel configuration (inputs) parameter "Files EA output in common folder?" was true, otherwise the file will be located in MQL5\Files, and you must provide the full path to that file relative to those mentioned paths.

• Main folder: Root folder where generated data will be saved. The path is relative to Files\ or Common\ depending on the panel configuration parameter: "Files EA output in common folder?".

Once the fields are configured, use the + Add task button to add the task to the pending tasks.
