im down now 2.5 % what would have been 5% if i traded with 1% risk per trade and the account would have been gone. I trade with the best performing sets for the prior week and even use smaller risk. Do i do something wrong i dont just get now or what is the problem ? someone with the same experience as me ? can i adapt something to make it better performing ? pls help if u know some tips

 

Hi Emre,

I am trading the top 3 from the weekly charts on the FTMO app with a risk of 1%. For this week, so far, I am done 1% in my FTMO Challenge.

Alan,

i did exactly the same just with 0.5 % how is that possible

 

Hi Emre,

I am just looking at the losing trades for this week and not the total trades for my Challenge.  Is this what you are doing?

Also are you using an FTMO Challenge or another prop firm?

Alan,

Hi Emre,

Let me clarify further:  I am just looking at the closed losing trades for this week and not the total trades for my Challenge.

Alan,

the 2.5 % loss are all trades combined from the last 2 and a half weeks only 1 trade is currently open on XAUUSD (-16$ currently). i changed the bots or sets weekly. The bots are on Bullsroadfunding bc they allow every strategy. I would expect some differenz from ur accout to mine bc i close all trades on friday if there are any open but im only loosing

 

Hi Emre,

I too have been losing for the last two and a half weeks for a total loss of 2.5%.  Fortunately, on my FTMO Challenge where I use Expert Advisors I created with EA Studio it is profitable.  It’s good to diversify!

Alan,

Damn ok good too know thx for help

 

Hello,

when placing the EA, I can check “Allow Algo Trading” (sure) and “Allow modification of Signals settings” – do you have to allow this as well? What does it actually mean exactly?

Thank you very much and have a nice day.

Kind regards,

Oliver

Hi. I have just bought the FTMO robot. I have two challenges going, one with GFN and one with Top One Trader. I manage to start the FTMO robot on the GFN 100k account. But the Top One Trader 100k account it is not starting. The EA will not load on the chart and I get the error message EA turned off and the blue hat dissappear. The 100k account have been upgraded to 125k since it was a promotion campaign. I have tried to modify the max drawdawn, max and min equity settings but no luck. Still not loading on the chart. Any idea of what I shall do here? Here is a screenshot of how it looks.

Hi Morten,

The following video is a guide to help traders setup the FTMO app robots and how to modify the parameters. It should help you get your robots up and running.

Hi Alan.

I have watched and followed the steps in this video. I manage to load it on my GFN account, but on my TopOneTrader account it is not starting. I am able to start other EAs on this TopOneTrader account, but not FTMO EA. It is allowed to use the EA on more than one challenge right? The video dont explain to me any scenarios why the EA is not starting. My account is a 100k account but I got 125k as a promotion from TopOneTrader. Does it have anything to do with not beeing 100k or 200k as a standard amount, but 125k?

Any ideo of why this is happening?

Morten

Hi Morten,

The problem is you have downloaded the 100K FTMO robots but are not using them on a 100K challenge. Instead you are using them on a 125K challenge. So you get them working you need to change the Maximum Daily loss, the Minimum equity, and the Maximum equity parameters in the robot properties box to agree with your accounts requirements.

Alan,

Hi again, I have tried to do that too but I dont know what minimum equity and maximum equity parameters actually means. The roules I have on Top One Trader is: 125k account, 8% profit target, 5% daily drawdown and 10% max drawdown. How shall I do the settings then?

Morten

Hi Morten,

Give me about 30 – 60 minutes and I will figure it out for you.

Alan,
