Hi Nikos
please see below the screenshot from the consistent problem ive had using EAs this week. im Still having it.
these were not Prop Firm EAs, so they did not have daily account protections. but consistently i kept on getting the message that entry orders were cancelled.
can you explain what causes this problem so i know how to deal with it in the future. are there any changes i can make in the inputs when i load the EA to mitigate this problem.
A few times i tried your suggestions to delete everything and redownload the EAs from scratch and start again. as you can imagine, its a tedious exercise.
please advise, im currently working with a small realistic demo account just to prepare myself for a live account and to get used to your EAs but this week has been concerning.
Regards
Tsholo
Hey Tsholo,
I understand what the issue is. So, what you can do here is to compile the EA and also in the settings, you should see about the reset hour settings. Make sure to change that to 1 or 2.
Hope this helps!
Let me know if it works!
Kind Regards,
NikosHey Koala,
Please check that the maximum equity settings. Make sure it’s not more than the balance of the account. Then try again!
Let me know if you need more assistance!

Hey Tsholo,
Actually, you are not doing anything wrong. Could just be something with the code.

NikosWhen things don’t go as planned, it can be annoying. Considering that the FTMO Robot is still relatively new, I’ve heard varying opinions regarding it. Although some traders have found success, it’s wise to move warily at all times. Make sure to give it a thorough look and think about utilizing a demo account initially. If someone has lately tried it, their opinions would be very helpful!
I want some honest help why is it that when I use the Prop Robots on a demo account to do forward testing and I use the exact same broker but the bot is trading completely differently? I opned these two demo accounts around the same time for testing I use the same prop robots with the same broker same MT5 through XM.com and they are trading COMPLETELY differently not just slightly but one is taking WAY WAY more trades and very profitable the other is taking only a couple trades and not very profitable and sometimes in a sizeable DD while the other account again same broker is very profitable. I am needing real help here you say do testing on demo I am doing testing on one these demo accouts not for just a couple weeks or 30 days but it never stops I test permanently and then depending on results the idea was to use the same broker and then whatever bots are showing profitable I then add to another demo again same broker and same bots and copy the trades to my prop account. The problem is how can I depend on the results if the same bot is doing completely different trades on the same broker? This has been my constant problem no matter if I do forwward testing with the same broker on a demo or depend on the prop robot app whenever I add those winning bots to my MT$ even if its the same broker I am doing the testing with the trades are always and I mean always different so basically I have no proper data to know if any robot I add to my chart will be profitable its always a gamble because no matter what tests or whether I use the prop robot app results will always be different and can put me in a big loss. I never know what will happen its literally a complete gamble. Every day every week I have no idea what robots will be profitable. So how do you do this its not as simple as just see the winning robots on the prop robot app and each day make sure you check andjadd the top 3-5 robots if it was this simple I would be in profit consistently! I have done this strategy and sometimes its profitable but not nearly the same results as the app is saying or the app says this robot is doing well but yet when I add it to my charts the trades are all losing and puts me in a deep DD. Please help there has to be more to all this!
Hey Derek,
So, are you using the same account type for example, is it raw spreads on the one account and standard on the other or the same type?
What I would say here is to try a different broker. You can see the brokers we use and what has worked for us here: https://platform.algotradingspace.com/trusted-brokers/
Maybe the conditions of the broker is not the best.
Hope this helps!

NikosHi Nikos both Demo accounts are through Blackbull its the hedge account I created when I registered on blackbull Markets website I just clicked demo account and selected Demo 2 for the sever and plugged in the account number and password. Is there something else I should look at between these two demo accounts? I dont know why the trades are vastly different same prop robots being forward tested and same demo accounts which is on your reccomended list you sent me.
look at this both standard accounts and both comepletely different profits both started at $200k account and one is 16k in profit the other is 3k in a loss same prop robots same everything.
I reached out to blackbull markets and contacted their support they looked into my demo accounts both are standard and they said the only reason the trades are different is because of something in the EAs settings that is different betweent the bots I am using on one account and the settings on the bot on the other demo account but I never adjust settings! So I need help on resolving this.
They also told me to contact the EA developer and ask if the bots are supposed to take identical trades becuase I took USDJPY for example I looked at the input setttings an both are identical on both black bull demo accounts so same bot and settings the same on both accounts is the way this bot designed is it meant to take different trades even if everything is the same same broker type same XM.com MT5 platform and same input settings is there something in the code that makes the bots trade differently?
