Hi Carl,
FYI – The .b is just part of the name of the chart as can be seen in the chart tab and in Market watch and has nothing to do with Expert Advisors.

Hi superalf,
Petko has informed me there will be a big upgrade soon. So lets se if the upgrade solves all your issues.
Alan,
Hi superalf,
I use to be able to go to Y5 and see all 14 robots. Why I cannot do that now is a mystery. It may be that Petko is not testing the shorter term time frames back 5 years like he use to. I am waiting for clarification from Petko.
While we wait I should also invoke some knowledge to you incase you are not aware. The robots are back tested using BlackBull historical data. You may not be aware that all brokers/prop firm historical data is somewhat different. So for example, the top 3 robots in the Prop Firm robot app may not be the top 3 when trading the robots with FTMO. So, when you chose the robots you want to use from the Prop firm robot app don’t expect them to be the same top performers in the FTMO challenge.

Hi Superalf,
That pair did not trade last week. However, it will continue to trade in the future. I trade 10 different EAs in my Infinity Forex Fund challenge and in some weeks certain EAs do not trade for a week or two and then they start trading again. So, this is normal. Further, you may pick some robots that traded last week but one or two of them may not trade next week. This is why it is a good idea to diversify.

Hi superalf,
Right now there are only 12. Petko has removed 2 of them and has not yet replaced them.

Hi superalf,
The magic numbers are randomly generated. As fate would have it, the random generator picked the same magic number for the same magic number for these two robots. Change the magic number in the source code and re-compile. Then when you move the robots around from account to account you won’t have to keep changing the magic numbers.
To download all 14 robots at the same time select Y5, select Add to zip, and then select All.

Hi Wolfgang,
If there is a smiley face in the upper right corner of the trading chart then you are good to go. Just wait for new trades to develop. To properly protect your FTMO account I would suggest the following:
In the Prop Firm Robot app look at the top left area of the screen where it says Account. Select the account size you will be trading in the FTMO challenge. Also select the correct Max loss, Max daily loss, Profit target, Risk, and the news option. After you make these selections then download the robots you want to trade. So I would remove the robots you downloaded and re-download the correct ones.

Hi paul4x,
The EA is set up so as not to take any new trades 15 minutes before the market closes for the day. New trades can then be taken after the market re-opens 15 minutes later. This is done to avoid a new trade occurring 15 minutes before the market closes with super large spreads. There are also large spreads right after the market re-opens, so I would change the number from 0 to 1 or 2 to avoid these large spreads.
Note: The number zero represents the beginning of the new trading day. The number one represents one hour after the market opens for the day.
