Hi Akhil,
I do not understand your question. What are you matching? Can you explain in more detail?
Alan,
Hi Alan,
Thanks for the reply. I downloaded the USDCHF EA and ran the back test data for 5 five years and back test data(Profit, Profit factor, drawdown) is not matching. The profit I am getting is around £15,000 but in website it is showing around $51,599. Attached the screenshot.
Hi Akhil,
FTMO does not have 5 years of historical data for the M15 time frame, so your backtesting does not start from 5 years ago.

Hello,
I know this question has been asked several times, but unfortunately I still don’t understand it properly.
Can someone please explain to me again how I can determine the 3 most profitable robots. Would I just have to download the top 3 that the app tells me every Monday?
best regards
Danny
Hi Alan,
I am not using FTMO account. I am using my personal account from Pepperstone. Also I have downloaded the history and tick data from Dukascopy from Tick Data manager. The History Quality is 99% for which I am testing. What data have you used for back testing. How come there is back test result from 5 years. Attached the screenshot.
Hi Akhil,
The FTMO app results are generated by backtesting done with EA Studio using FTMO historical data. EA Studio does have 5 years of historical data for FTMO but Metatrader does not.
There is a lot of difference in the results of the FTMO V6.0 robots when backtesting between using FTMO historical data and Dukascopy historical data. So this is the reason you are seeing large differences in the backtesting results.

Hi Alan,
Also I see from the EA studio link that the results should match closely even if I run with metatrader. Attached the screenshot for your reference.There is a huge difference in the back test results. Can you please clarify this.
Yes I have done this in the past. The problem is that you have to match up the trades in the EA Studio journal to the trades in Metatrader journal. This takes some manipulations. The problem is that EA Studio, being the better backtester, will take more trades than Metatrader backtester. Further, the video is with the older version of EA Studio so you cannot follow the same procedure. When I did this some time ago I found it difficult to do but with sufficient manipulation it can be done. Anyway, this has been my experience. As a result I don’t use metatrader for backtesting with the purpose of getting accurate results, instead, I use EA Studio. I don’t know if Petko has a new procedure to follow. You can contact support for help with this.

Hi Stephen,
This normally occurs when you have installed the wrong robots on your charts. For examle, if your account size is $10,000 then you need to install the 10K robots. At the top of the FTMO app to the right of Challenge select Account $10,000. Then you can download and install the robots.

Hi ,
I use a FTMO 80KEUR trial account. Since there are no EUR options in the app I selected 100kUSD.
So how can I overcome the mismatch causing the EA to turn off?
Hi Danny
You can download the Top 5 from Robot App, those Top 5 will be based on the last 10 years. Then, you test them in a demo account. After a week, you can see on the char itself, the performance of all of the 5 EAs and then you pick up top 3. You can keep those 5 EAs ongoing in your demo account and keep changing the top 3 from the last week into real challenge account.
