Dear traders,
We know how important safety is when it comes to Prop Firms which is why we’ve updated the FTMO Robot to include a whole extra pack of protections!
In the inputs you will find:
Entry Protections:
- Max spread
- Max open positions
- Max open Lots
These protections are for the new signals that come from the robots. If the Spread is higher than 30 pips, for example, the trade won’t be open.
Account Protections:
- Max daily Loss
- Min equity
- Max equity
Read more about each one below!
In addition, we’ve added the Stats section, where you can set the statistics you want to see over the graph.

Maximum daily loss
It is a total loss from midnight.
Daily loss = total profit of closed positions + current floating profit
Daily loss % = 100 * Daily loss / Initial account
This metric is reset at midnight.
The corresponding validation criterion is Maximum daily loss %. It has a default value of 5%, which corresponds to $500 for an initial account of $10000.
The “Maximum daily loss %” is relative to the Initial account. That is. 5% will be $500 for the complete backtest.
Maximum loss
This is the maximal loss relative to the initial account. It is not a Drawdown.
The corresponding validation criterion is Maximum loss %. It has a default value of 10%, which corresponds to $1000 for an initial account of $10000.
Maximum loss = Initial account – Minimal equity
Maximum loss % = 100 * Maximum loss / Initial account
Maximum Equity
This protection is to secure the profits when the account reaches Target. The trade will close, and the EAs will be removed from the charts.
Everyone who purchased the FTMO Robot will receive an e-mail with the new login details later today.
Please test it and let us know if you find any bugs!
Cheers,
Petko A
