Hi Angus, I am assuming you are asking about doing this with EA Studio or FSBPro EAs? This would need some modifications to the code to do though. Can you elaborate further exactly what you want to do please?
Please ask any questions and I’ll be happy to help further an keep an eye out for future video which I will post a link to here that will further break this down and go into some more detail. Let me know how you get on.
Now for the Prop Firm Robots App
For this I would recommend an ALMOST identical approach to the Top 10 App process as described above.
However I would make ONE tweaks specifically:
1 – Rather than using the randomize feature to get unique strategies I would ensure trading 3 pairs and 2 strategies for each (or 2 pairs and 3 strategies for each). This way it will be extremely unlikely that correlation with other traders will occur (If you want me to further elaborate on this then just ask bellow) – Note that this can also be applied to using the top 10 app for passing Prop Firm Challenges.
And that’s that. Just do the same as described above, check your drawdowns using fx blue weekly and only make changes if required.
SO lets get started with the Top 10 App.
STEP 1 – Variations on the following process can be applied but currently my opinion of best way to find robust EAs on this app should be as follows:
Focus on OOS trades. The more OOS trades that have been placed on demo that also look to have traded in a similar fashion to the back test over suitable period (1 year is fine for M5 and M15 but use ALL for higher time frame strategies)
Additionally you can also make a habit of downloading the best looking EAs regularly from this app, putting on a demo account and using FXBLUE to track your own statistics as these EAS change regularly, just a suggestion.
STEP 2 – List all your trading EAs in spreadsheet along with the drawdown % as listed on the app for ongoing monitoring
STEP 3 – Connect your account to FXBlue and then check weekly if any of your individual strategies have breached 1.5x the maximum drawdown in your spreadsheet (Always best to have a bit of a buffer)
And that is that 🙂
Also very importantly for risk, make sure that the sum of your risk % profits doesn’t exceed your desired total drawdown. Trading 3-6 EAs at a time would be a good target and replace any that fail overtime with a new one.
Feel free to ask any questions and I will be happy to help!

Additionally I am putting together some resources to help people improve their results with the Top 10 App and Prop Firm Robots App currently and just started a topic that may be of interest as I see you still have plenty time left on your 30 days. https://community.algotradingspace.com/forums/topic/method-for-profiting-with-top-10-and-prop-firm-app/
Additionally see that I have passed many prop challenges and am a funded FTMO trader and have a lot of experience in making EA Studio EAs profitable over the long term: https://community.algotradingspace.com/forums/topic/many-prop-firm-challenges-passed-with-ea-studio/
Hi Marie, sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with the robots from the app, please contact [email protected] and they will assist with this request. It seems like you have just started using this app and have quickly decided its not for you. This is fine and just get in touch with support. But can I ask out of curiosity why you are not satisfied and if there is anything I can help with?

Hi, Additionally here is a collection of screen shots and links to metric where available of may of the challenges I have passed using EA Studio Robots. I would like to draw attention to the fact that none of these are quick lucky passes but are portfolio with a proper edge in the market have many months and many trades with good risk management to allow that edge to come through. I will do my best to help others achieve similar results and answer any questions as best I can 🙂
Also note that all of these portfolios (Typically 5-10 EAs) were the same EAs from start to finish, many drawdowns have been endured but that is just part of trading and with proper risk management and experience these just become expected, normal and not even the slightest concern.
On the very odd occasion an EA that is clearly performing much worse than anticipated and be removed or replaced but really it very hands off trading with a 10 minute check of each portfolio monthly (I trade mostly H1 but for my M15 systems I check weekly as they move faster).
