Hi Nicholas,
I have been on vacation the last week. Just got back and trying to catch up on the Forum. I saw your responses to this Topic. Sorry to hear about your frustration with the FTMO Challenge and the robots. I have been trading the FTMO V5 robots on a live FTMO Challenge now for just a little over one week now. Or, I should say I have been testing the robots on a live FTMO Challenge. I currently have the lot size for each robot set about 1/5 of the normal set file size during my forward testing. Over the last week I see that the account has been going through a drawdown period. This is normal. All robots will go through a period of profit, a period of moving sideways, and a period of drawdown as I have explained before. My plan, right now, is to wait for the account to move back above breakeven. This will tell me the robots are in a profitable period. Once the account breaks even I will adjust the lot sizes upward. Not sure if I will increase lot sizes back to the set file amounts. Might wait until account reaches 1% or 2% but I will increase lot size to some larger amount once the account breaks even.
The following is my MT4 Detailed Account summary:
So, hang in there, and lets take this journey together!
Alan,
