“@Alan – So from Petko’s comment above. If I stick to the no.1 top performing EA of the last 2 weeks (out of all FTMO robots) and just use it with given set file/settings without changing any parameters in it, would that be enough to pass a challenge?”
If you follow the instructions it is all you need to do to pass the challenge. It doesn’t mean you will pass the challenge on your first challenge. Petko has failed challenges but by retaking the challenge and following the instructions he has eventually passed the challenge. The instructions tell you what to do, the instructions do not guarantee you will pass the challenge everytime you take the challenge. However, if you take the challenge multiple times you should pass the challenge the majority of the time.
In trading there are no guarantees of winning everytime you place a trade. If there were guarantees we would all be rich. The phase I use is “In trading there is no guarantees of success, only probabilities!” By following the instructions we increase the probability of success.
