hi

Hello all.

I have my EA break even setting set at 300 points, stop loss 300 and TP600, But even when trades have hit TP the stop loss has not been moved to break even What am I doing wrong here?

I’m confused about the trading hours 01 to 23 in the robot… I’m in the UK on GMT and my broker is GMT +3 so what do I need to set the trading hours to in the robot settings. Confused!

 

Thanks for your help

Hi,

If I buy the ftmo robots at this course https://platform.algotradingspace.com/premium-robots/ftmo-robot/

can I pass ftmo with it following the swapping in and out to market conditions?

Or do I still need to take the course here https://platform.algotradingspace.com/courses/ftmo/ftmo-challenge-course/

i am not much of a trader myself so if the ftmo robots with the swapping in and out would suffice, that would be great.

Lol. I guess only way for me to find out is if I purchase it and try it out. Good tests on it though, makes me wanna purchase it.

Probably a ftmo demo can be done on the EAs which are swapped for the profitable ones the last week. That would give a lot of clarity as to whether there is increased profitability with swapping out the EAs

If the EA were swapped out with the one that is most profitable the past week, would the profits be more and drawdown be less?

Did you swap out the ea with the one that is earning for the past week like in the ftmo robot says?

Hi Petko,

I have an idea, instead of using lot sizes, would it be possible to change it so you have the following options:
— Risk Mode: Percent or Lot Size

Percent: Based on the account size, automatically calculate the position so it will use X% of the account’s equity (This would allow compounding)
Lot Size: The setting we have now to manually set the specific lot size.

Kind regards

It’s always great to see traders sharing their experiences and results with others. Thanks for sharing your experience with FTMO, and congratulations on your success so far! It’s important to remember to always trade with caution and adhere to risk management strategies, regardless of the platform or challenge you are participating in. Good luck with your future trading endeavors!

Thanks, is there a way to test the compilation of many different strategies on different intervals and instruments together?

Hello, I’m using trial version and I think it’s amazing tool. My question is about Portfolio function. When I calculate strategy connecting other strategies I receive the best one, diversified. Very good. If I would like to export it to the mt4 file (in paid version) will I receive one file with compiled all strategies? Or there will be lots of files (as much as strategies)?

Hi everyone,

for the courageous that read this thread to this point, I eventually found where the problem is 🥳

After more than one month of tests, here are the results. 21 strategies generated in total 110 trades. The tests has been made on 5 different trading pairs and on 5m,15m,30m and 1h timeframes. And the same EAs were working simultaneously on two different computers at the same time. One on Windows, and another one on Ubuntu.

For all the differences that I’ve found, I made a double check to be sure that I didn’t made a mistake somewhere.

Between mt4 tester and EA studio, I only had 1 difference, which is really good.

Between the two computers, I had 2 differences. I guess it’s due to loss of connection, or latency, or ???

Between reality and EA studio/mt4 tester, I had 37 differences, which is fairly huge (more than 33%). But after some analyses, for 34 of the trades, they all were fired at 00:00. So my big discover is that some brokers (like IC Markets that I use) prevent trading near 00:00, so these trades never opened.

So in conclusion, if I remove these trades, I had 3 differences on 76 trades. I don’t know if we can consider that as good or bad, but it’s fairly less dramatic than I first thought. Now for my next generations, I’ll change the opening hours of the trades in the EA studio params and see the results. But nothing seems linked with trailing stops as I first thought. It’s just that strangely in my case, these strategies seems to open almost all positions at this specific hour.

And in term of prices, almost all prices are the same between EA studio and mt4 tester. And with reality, the difference was rarely more than 1,5pips. I just had one trade with 15 pips difference, but I guess it was due to abnormal market conditions.

It took me long hours to do theses tests, but I learned a lot and I’m really happy that I did. Without this issue and the desire to share my results, I wouldn’t have taken the time to do it but now that I did it, I personally think that’s something that has to be done at least once when you start with this system, because now I’m fairly confident with the system and the strategies generated 🙂💪

The next step now is to find profitable ones, and that will be harder that I thought at first place 😅

Thank you Samuel for your help and your support during this process 👍

I wish everyone a great day and happy calculations

 

Hello,
I had the same issue with browser tabs. It’s a “by design” feature of every browsers to minimize the processor activity when the tab is not visible, and they always try to improve this. I tried Edge, Firefox, Brave, Opera, Chrome and less known browsers but all had exactly the same behavior 🙁
There are tutos to change some advance configuration to disable this but I never found any that really works.
The only way (I’ve found) is to separate the tabs and keep them all visible.
Another way that I use now, is to create some virtual machines, and on each machine I run one browser, and I’m very happy with that system, because my settings stays the same on each machine when I restart the browser, as EA studio saves last configuration when the browser is closed.
And with all the tests that’s I’ve made, I got better results with chrome…

Hi Petko,

Thanks for the reply.

The disconnections only happened on Sunday evening when the week starts again. This time, I’ll reconnect my account before the restart to be sure that it doesn’t happen again.

I had the same issue with two different brokers, so I guess it’s a vps issue…

Hi everyone,

After two weeks of testing, here is a small update for those who followed this thread. Up to now, 35 trades have been triggered on 16 different strategies (using 4 timeframes 5, 15, 30, 60).

EA Studio and mt4 tester are almost always the same and there are only few pips of difference between reality 🥳 except for two strategies, and these two strategies use trailing stop. I don’t have enough data to contact the developer yet but I’ll continue to supervise all the strategies and keep you informed with the results, but it seems that there is an issue when the strategy uses trailing stops (and that’s probably why I opened this thread, as all my first strategies a month ago only use trailing stops).

But I really feel reassured with these results. I’m glad I had the perseverance to continue my tests 🙂

I wish you a great week-end

David
