Q1 – broker

tastyfx.com (US branched IG.com)

It is legit for US customers.

However, I don’t know whether US customers can use non-US regulated brokers, as those have usually bigger leverages and smaller spreads.  Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

Q2 – demo with the same amount as real will be

yes

Q3 – download EAs

Yes.

However, maybe it would be good to have both EAs and Strategies (pdf / ppt) time stamped, so we know which one is newer in case of discrepancies.

Also, GBPUSD and USDJPY EAs have two entries for SL/TP, where only one is initialized.  I did initialize the other one also, but not sure if I should.

Maybe it would be also beneficial to provide setting files.

Lastly, so far in the course, there was no mention about how to size “Entry Lots” based on account sizes.  Maybe instead of just asking for a number, this field should ask for a multiplicator for every $1,000 in the account.  This way, default value would be working for every account.

Q4 – smiley face

Yes

Q5 – EAs started trading

Yes, I have two EURUSD trades already closed.  The first is for $1.31, the second for $-0.5.  I created $10k demo account, and modified LotSize to 0.01.  Maybe I need to bump it up to 0.1.  I also have a third trade open also EURGBP, but this is down right now at $-15.5.

Would be nice, if you provide some examples for all pairs for one account, so we could adjust it accordingly.

I am super excited to see how it will work!  So far, everything is really smooth.

[kntrading]

“Which broker did you choose for your trading? Is it legit?”
Darwinex

“Did you open a Demo account with the same size you are planning to trade real?”
Yes, 100k DarwinexZero account

“Did you download the Expert Advisors and unzip them?”
Yep.

“When placing the Expert Advisors in the Demo account, did you see the smiley face?”
I’m on Mac, so they don’t show up as smiley faces

“Do you see trades opening and closing? What are the first results?”
Not yet, only been a few hours. Instead I have been focusing on doing backtest for each strategy for every month for the entire 2024. Results below:

Settings for each EA updated to the newest settings according to the course. Do these results seem reasonable? It’s a farcry from 5% a month though (supposedly very realistic according to Petko in one of the recent videos on Youtube channel). Backtest is done with Strategy Tester within Metatrader 5 for Mac. Not sure if I did everything correct or whether there’s an easier way, but I basically brute forced it by selecting Jan 1 to Jan 31 2024 for the first strategy, then manually typed in the results in an Excel, then went on with Feb etc, then repeat for each strategy.

All feedback are welcome.

Professional Trading Strategies + 5 Bots Included –

Which broker did you choose for your trading? Is it legit?
BlackBull. Yes, it is legit.

Did you open a Demo account with the same size you are planning to trade real?
I opened a demo account with 10k. I will likely be using 1k to start

Did you download the Expert Advisors and unzip them?
Yes

When placing the Expert Advisors in the Demo account, did you see the smiley face?
Yes, but I saw blue graduation caps with tassels

Do you see trades opening and closing? What are the first results?
Yes. The first results were not overly favorable, outside of EURUSD trading. This one stayed in the positive at least. The initial 10k went down to 9700. In all fairness, trading was only for just over 2 days so far. Further back testing should be done. Then more time will be needed to get an overall better picture.
