Hi gabiscriba,
Glad to see you are testing both the 5.1 and 6.0 robots. This shows initiative. Both 5.1 and 6.0 robots can be traded. It appears from your comments you have already demo tested all these different options. So, just pick the ones that work best for you.
Alan,
Hello,
i just wont to trade the top 3 performers of last week this week in my FTMO Demo account.
What is the easiest way to disable the other 5 robots currently? (besides from removing them from the chart)

Hello Jon,
> Anyone getting v6 to open trade on mt5? my mt4 is running but no trade open on mt5.
Please download the MT5 expert again.
We made several updates to the experts’ MQL code to improve the entry-lot calculations, News Filter and the information rendering on the chart.
There was a moment when the MT5 experts had a bug with indicator initialization when the indicators were hidden. We fixed it immediately after we discovered it.
You can check if this is the case by testing the experts in the MT tester. if the backtest works, the robots should trade normally,
Hello, I still cannot download the v6.0 robots from the new FTMO Robot App. I sent an email to [email protected]. I believe I am not the only one experiencing this issue and would like to get this sorted out so I can use the latest robots this week. Thanks in advance for your help in sorting this out for me!
Is it wise to trade/test V5.0 while we have the newer ver v6.0. ?

Yesterday I set all 8 V6.0 robots to run both on an FTMO trial account, as well as on a challenge account at another prop firm.
I set exactly the same parameters and max spread 30.
I have a trade open at 06.00 on AUDCHF, on both accounts.
But on the FTMO account a trade was opened at 01.30 on USDCHF, and on the other account it was not opened.
Instead, on the other account a trade was opened at 08.30 on USDCAD, but it was not opened on FTMO.
I have attached the pictures.
Does this happen because of the spread difference?
What other causes can there be?
What trades have opened for you today, up to this moment?
Thank you.
Hello Gabiscriba,
> Instead, on the other account a trade was opened at 08.30 on USDCAD, but it was not opened on FTMO.
The FTMO Robots open positions when all of the indicators give signals in the same direction. If one of the indicators is not satisfied, the robot skips the entry.
The current FTMo robot version uses 6 entry indicators. The robot is created and tested on historical data from an FTMO account.
Other brokers have different data feeds (liquidity providers), and their data differs. It is completely possible for an indicator to give a particular signal on FTMO and not be triggered on another broker.
> Does this happen because of the spread difference?
The spread only affects the profit. It is because the FTMO robot does not have the “Max spread” protection enabled by default.
Having different deals with different brokers is not a huge problem. Even more, it is entirely possible to have the robot working better.
I was eager to test how the FTMO Robots work and run them on their symbols but on the M1 timeframe. I found out that the EURUSD robot works very well on M1.
The best practice is to first test the robot on a demo account on your chosen broker. You will find that some of the robots work better than others despite the different data. It is strongly advisable to use only tested robots on your live account.
Hello team,
I have downloaded the FTMO bot from “https://platform.algotradingspace.com/premium-robots/ftmo-robot/app/” with medium risk and was back testing for USDCHF and I see that the result is not matching. I am not sure if I am missing something. I am using the default settings provided.
