John: “Have you found any EAs that are consistent enough to beat the Prop firm challenges or stay within the drawdown rules?”
That’s the problem I had with using EA’s I had created with EA Studio was the drawdown. When using these EA’s in FTMO challenge I had to closely monitor the price chart. However, when creating EA’s with Forex Strategy Pro it has the ability to set the maximum account drawdown. For example a $10,000 FTMO challenge cannot fall below $9,000. So I can set the EA to close if it falls to say $9500. I have created a few EA’s now with FSB Pro and I am testing them now. Hopefully, this will allow me to set up an FTMO challenge and then walk away for a month. Also, the daily drawdown needs to stay less than 5% of account balance. FSB Pro can also do this. So, the only way I know to stay within the drawdown rules is to create them using FSB Pro.
