FTMO Robot: V4.3: What’s new?

[Alan Northam]

It is best to put all the EAs in a demo account.  Wait 3 to 5 days and move the EAs with more than 3 closed profitable trades to a live account.  This indicates the EAs are at least trading once a day if you are waiting 3 days or at least once every other day if you are waiting 5 days.  Then every 3 to 5 days look for the top profitable EAs in the demo account and place those in the live account replacing the EAs in the live account not performing well.

That’s pretty much what I am doing and planning for the future. I also noticed that the EA did not stop the trades before the weekend. I’m glad I was watching, I assumed it would since it was for FTMO. Should this be setup on a swing account?

[Petko Aleksandrov]

Yes, a swing account would work best.

Seems like really amazing improvement! Great job Petko!
Which 2 pairs are currently the best now for version 4.2?

Thanks,
Janek

Hello Petko. I can’t do a backtest on MT5. What can I do please?

[Alan Northam]

Hi Richard,

Can you provide detailed info on how you are trying to do the backtest?  Can you show screenshot of Strategy Tester that shows your setup?  Please provide as much info as you can so I can evaluate the reason you are not able to do a backtest.  Also have you optimized the amount of data you broker provides by holding down the HOME key as Petko has shown in the videos?

Alan,

[Richard Zurmühle]

Hello Alan. So currently only the BOT NDZJPY works for me, for the others it doesn’t upload any data. The test run takes less than a second.

Are you giving it sufficient time to complete the backtest.  I backtested AUDNZD and it took about 6 minute to complete the backtest.  The green bar at the bottom of Strategy Tester went from left side of window to right side of window about four or five times approximately.  I didn’t really count them.  Backtest was with $10,000 and 1.0 lots in all four positions in the inputs tab.  The following is my results:

“2023.09.18 12:32:42.265 Core 1 OnInit critical error”

 

Hi guys bots are great i have 3 that i get this error on backtest? any help

[Alan Northam]

Did you get the bots from EAtradingacademy?  The reason I ask is EA Studio and FSBpro generate bots that do not have errors in their code.  So I would like to know what bot you are referring too!

[Lee Wagstaff]

Hi yes its the audnzd eurcad and eurnzd ones that it wont let me backtest on v4.2 the v4.1 was fine no errors

[Anne Bermüller]

Anne

[Alan Northam]
