Prop Firm Robots: Errors and Solutions

[Konstantinos Borsis]

@paul4x i would also consider taking my trading pairs to about -50% SL/TP on a 1:2 ratio and possibly add a max spread limit about 15 points for forex and 30 points for xau.

Hey Konstantinos,

Thank you for sharing your experience.

So, as you mentioned and correctly of course, the market can be very tricky at times and make an EA have losing periods which I believe it’s normal as nobody can really predict the market all the time.

I think the best is to lower the risk of each trade to about 1% or even 2% at most.

Thank you!

Kind Regards,
Nikos

Hi Alan, so when is this big update coming? It’s pretty confusing how right now some of the FTMO robots disappear in certain timeframes and only appear in higher ones.

Hi Embi,

As long as you see a smiley face or a blue hat in the upper right corner of the chart and the EA and the chart time frames are the same then you have set up the EA correctly. These EAs mostly only trade one per day on average. So Since you just opened the EA on Friday I would expect you should see a trade on Monday or Tuesday at the latest.

Alan,

Hello,

Why the Ea are always turned off on FTMO?

I have this problem only on FTMO.

Thanks

i bought a new ftmo 10k account and wanted to try the robot, so I checked the top 2 performers in weekly and it was usdjpy and usdchf

Usdjpy was the best in the monthly, but when tested in the account usdchf was losing in both weekly and monthly, and usdjpy was in big profit like 4000 profit in the 10k account

 

i only applied the usdjpy yesterday and will update you with the account

Hey Faisalaldoseri,

Thank you for sharing your experience with the robots!

There is always losing and winning periods for all robots. That is why our apps are providing new strategies for all pairs every week at least!

Once you have more results to share, please let us know how it goes with the account!

Kind Regards,
Nikos

[NIKOS KYRIAKOU]

Hey Faisalaldoseri,

Thank you!

Kind Regards,
Nikos

Thank you for the photos Faisalaldoseri!

So, from what I can understand, the issue could be with the pair suffix. An example of a suffix is like the following: USDJPY.i or USDJPYm. Of course these are just examples.

Please check if there is a different symbol with a suffix and see try to use that instead.

Let me know if that solves the issue!

Kind Regards,
Nikos
