Hi Gilles,
I use the weekly time period to select the top 3. I did this at the beginning of the week. Right now my account is up about 1.6%.

Hi Robby,
Yes you can use the FTMO robots from the FTMO app on a funded account. The only difference is that the robot will automatically close the robot when the account reaches 10% profit. To keep this from happening you can turn this feature off in the robots properties dialog box. The other thing is you don’t want the robot to drawdown very much so you really need to protect the account from hitting the max daily loss limit and the max account loss limit. So I would suggest tightening these up as well. I would also suggest not risking more than 0.5% of account balance until after you have made 1 or 2% profit. Again this is to protect the account from drawing down. All these changes can be made in the robots properties dialog box. Since you have gone through the process of passing the challenge and the verification stages you do not want to loss your account once it is funded. So slow and easy to start until you get some profit, then you can increase the risk.

Hi Nake,
The EAs that do not have a TP or SL will have an indicator built into them that will determine when to take profit or close with a loss.

Hi Miguel,
Thanks for clarifying the issue. Have you purchased one of the Plans?

Hi Alex,
Sorry I misunderstood your question.
I don’t know of any publicly available tracking for the top 10. You would have to ask [email protected] if there is any available data.
Alan,
Hi Miguel,
Truthfully I don’t understand your question on how did you fix this. Fix what? If I understood the question as to what got fixed maybe I might be able to answer your question.

Hi tekbd,
Petko uses the FREE FTMO demo account to backtest. He will then take the best performing Expert Advisors and use them on other prop firms such as TFF.

Hi Alex,
When Myfxbook is attached to your MT4 or MT5 terminal it will collect all the trades from the terminal. You can then use Myfxbook to sort the results in various ways to determine which Expert Advisors are performing the best.

Hi Robby,
The FTMO app does the backtest so traders do not have to spend time backtesting the Expert Advisors. I take the top 1 to top 3 Expert Advisors from the FTMO app and apply them to an FTMO Challenge.

Hi Oliver,
The FTMO EAs are created using the FTMO historical data so the best results should be with FTMO.com prop firm.
Alan,
Angelo,
5 years of historical data for either H1 or m15. You can always run a test to see what time frame works best. For example create an EA using 5 years for H1 and use Out of Sample. Then create another EA using 12 years for H1 and use Out of Sample. Compare the two EAs by changing the Data Horizon for the last one or two months.
You can do the same kind of test for m15. Maybe last 5 years and last 3 years.
