Hello everyone!
I have a challenge account at FXIFY.
After I tested and went crazy with both version 5 and version 6, I only recently understood that actually the only correct testing method is to test on a live account with 0.01 lotsize. Which I will actually do starting from Monday. I see which robots performed the best last week and for the first 3 I will increase the lotsize depending on the value of the account we have. And at the end of next week we will do the same.
From the discussions on the forum I understood that with any broker or prop firm, their demo accounts and their live accounts can or can not use the same server with the same historical data. So, the results can be completely different.
The same thing can happen if we use robots on the challenge account, pass both phases and receive the live account. And the live account is on a different server than the challenge account. The results will again be different.
For example, in order not to test the FTMO demo account in vain, on Thursday I sent them an email in which I asked them if the demo account, the challenge accounts and the live accounts are on the same server, with the same historical data. No answer so far.
I hope I have understood all these things correctly so far.
To be honest, I never imagined that using robots could be so complicated and so time-consuming. Very long time.
And I’m waiting to see the first users who will receive funded accounts.
I saw that Petko has already passed, but let’s not include Petko here.
