Hi Rainer,

What is the current balance of you trail account?

Hi Stephen,

This normally occurs when you have installed the wrong robots on your charts.  For examle, if your account size is $10,000 then you need to install the 10K robots.  At the top of the FTMO app to the right of Challenge select Account $10,000.  Then you can download and install the robots.

Yes I have done this in the past.  The problem is that you have to match up the trades in the EA Studio journal to the trades in Metatrader journal.  This takes some manipulations.  The problem is that EA Studio, being the better backtester, will take more trades than Metatrader backtester.  Further, the video is with the older version of EA Studio so you cannot follow the same procedure.  When I did this some time ago I found it difficult to do but with sufficient manipulation it can be done.  Anyway, this has been my experience.  As a result I don’t use metatrader for backtesting with the purpose of getting accurate results, instead, I use EA Studio.  I don’t know if Petko has a new procedure to follow.  You can contact support for help with this.

Hi Akhil,

The FTMO app results are generated by backtesting done with EA Studio using FTMO historical data.  EA Studio does have 5 years of historical data for FTMO but Metatrader does not.

There is a lot of difference in the results of the FTMO V6.0 robots when backtesting between using FTMO historical data and Dukascopy historical data.  So this is the reason you are seeing large differences in the backtesting results.

Hi Akhil,

FTMO does not have 5 years of historical data for the M15 time frame, so your backtesting does not start from 5 years ago.

Hi Akhil,

I do not understand your question. What are you matching? Can you explain in more detail?

Hi Sammy,

I am still trading V5.0 as it is still being profitable.

Hi gabiscriba,

Glad to see you are testing both the 5.1 and 6.0 robots.  This shows initiative.  Both 5.1 and 6.0 robots can be traded.  It appears from your comments you have already demo tested all these different options.  So, just pick the ones that work best for you.

Hi Luce,

I would pick EURAUD and/or XAUUSD.  Why?  When I look at the top right corner of the charts I see the balance/Equity line moving upwards.  This means these two pairs are currently profiting.  When I look at all the other pairs I see they are all moving sideways or slightly pointing downward.  I would not want to trade these pairs as they are not currently generating profits.

Hi Petko,

Comparison between FTMO app and EA Studio is now almost exactly the same:

Hi Mathew,

You don’t need to worry about the same EA being used by others while in the FTMO Challenge and Verification as the third party EA rule only applies to funded accounts.

Hi Popov,

I tested a robot from the FTMO App, compared it with EA Studio, and received different results:

Hi gabiscriba,

Those settings seem reasonable to me.

Hi Luce,

Sorry for the misunderstanding.  The new FTMO app was created so traders can use it to decide which are the best pairs to trade so they don’t have to demo test the robots themselves.
