Hello All
Very excited about V6. I had a look at the Robots page.
This page gives backtested data, not which EA’s are currently the best performers, as in for the past week, am I correct?
I did activate on a FTMO test account, been running since the 8th, but there’s ZERO winners at this time.
What do I do?
+1 On this, I wanted to ask for this exactly. Some of the trades in V5 was nicely in profit, I was using AUDUSD, they did not hit TP and reversed to close in negative. So a trailing stop would be awesome.
Awesome. Looking forward to getting this set up.
Does the new bot come with setting files as well for different account sizes?
I do not have a 100% understanding of some new settings to be able to make an educated decision…Hello All
I thought I would share my testing data. I sincerely hope Petko and team gets that VPS ip and running VERY soon for us users to get the top performers from them directly.
In the meantime, I have been running this testing account since 20 November. Here’s my current results:
I also have a previous test run that I ran before this one that ran from 09 November to the 20th of November, here’s the results for that one:
Hope this helps some people.
Hey Alan
Thank you for taking the time and responding. And thank you for your detailed response. It is appreciated. This trading journey has been a tough one. Hundreds of hours of practise and strategies and videos etc. One gets to a point where you just want to feel you are moving forward. And by that I mean, actually start making some money on a consistent basis.
Thus the reason why I turned to prop firms. Many warned me it is a scam mostly to get the “challenge fee” and then make it almost impossible to pass and easy to fail.
But I do not have the capital to enter trades that will at least give me the chance to earn significant money and get out of the rat-race, because that is the goal…
Thus the reason for turning to EA’s. I have been testing this EA on other funded challenges on 0.01 lot sizes, but the EA is not successful there. Really does only seem to work best on FTMO. I am not getting super clear winners and results yet. AUDUSD seems to be the only real winner.
But I march forward three steps and get knocked back two steps and so we go 🙂
Hello Petko
Firstly, thanks for responding, it is much appreciated. I understand that there are things I do not understand about the signal aspect you mentioned. All good there, there no need for me to understand anyways, I accept their insight I do not have on this point.
It is fantastic news that you guys are busy setting up a VPS, thank you for listening to us here. Looking forward to that getting in place.
I do not want a refund. I want to robot tat helps me pass challenges and continue to make money after I did pass the challenge.
I am listening to you concerning the patience aspect. I hear you. It has been a frustrating journey to this point. I do not have enough capital of my own to start trading sensibly. Thus the choice to take the prop firm road. But it is slow, frustratingly slow. I will practise my patience though.
Thanks for clarifying and listening.
We all have the same problem…I have been running a an FTMO test for 3 weeks, no clear winners and very few trades opened. Hopefully I will get somewhere soon with this. The only answer you will get from the team here is that “you need to test” they do not seem to be willing to help us with the top EA’s on a weekly basis.
You wont get assistance on this. I have asked. I keep on getting responses basically sating I have to keep on testing someone elses robot until I get a “winner” and even then I am told, this might not work. As per the response from Marin.
Hello Petko
I am NOT angry about you not posting top results. Although your comment on signals does NOT make sense AT ALL. Here is your post from earlier called “FTMO v5 results” what am I missing? Is this not “signals” but asking for top performers are signals…sorry, but you would have to give me a better answer. I do not care about MyFX and green ticks and all that jazz. Are you not constantly testing the FTMO Robot on your end to ensure you can make updates etc? If you are not, this would be VERY concerning. Please share these results with us on an ongoing basis. Why not? Do you NOT trust your results?
Here is what IS making me super angry though. And this comes from my past experience with EA sellers that make big promises and then do not deliver. As a reminder, please read your sales page.
You state: The Robot will help you pass challenges faster and stress-free!
It has NOT been stress-free AT ALL. In fact, it has been very stressful. I do not get answers, I do not get clear and concise guidance, I have to DO MY OWN TESTING. I mean…really. And then I get statements from you and your team like:
We cannot provide the top performers because tomorrow this might change. So what is the point of running a bloody three-week “test” and then “oh but wait, we cannot take responsibility, since this might change tomorrow” – bullshit.
Another favorite response from you and team: Test the robot on a testing account and use the top performers. I have been “testing” for three weeks now, no clear winners.
Another one: The market might change and the robot might stop working. Might, might, might. No. I remind you: The Robot will help you pass challenges faster and stress-free!
And the best one yet, we cannot provide the best performers because people might be using other brokers. WHAT! Really, on an FTMO Robot forum, this is an answer we get from your team. No, we are NOT using other brokers. We are using FTMO
The Robot will help you pass challenges faster and stress-free!I have yet to even make a small dent using your robot in any live account. No accounts passed yet. Not stress-free. None of your promises on your sales page have applied. But, and I am purposefully being SUPER sarcastic here. I have probably not passed any challenges because: I have not tested enough. I might be using a different broker. The market might change. All these excuses are either me not doing things right or some external factor. Not you and your team NOT delivering on the promises on your sales pages.
THAT is what is making angry.
I am NOT passing challenges stress-free, instead, I am constantly in the bloody forum asking for help and writing essays for answers!!!!!
This is such a crappy answer…my goodness. So we switch on a robot that was a top performer for the past two weeks. BUT tomorrow it may not be. This is ridiculous…
Hey Ilan
But you see, that’s what I do not get. We DO NOT use different brokers, we all use FTMO. Or at least in THIS forum, it is an FTMO EA that does ONLY FTMO.
So why can you not publish to this community focused on FTMO, the best-performing pair for FTMO. FTMO is the same anywhere in the world.
Explain this to me please? And do not say since brokers are different and some people may use different brokers. I think most people here would be intelligent enough to KNOW that the best performing EA’s you are really supposed to send to us is actually for FTMO.
Note the name of the forum: “FTMO Robot”
So why not just share on a weekly basis the best performing EA’s? And that’s what I get really angry with, on these “EA’s” – there is always some bloody excuse why they do not work as SOLD. We paid for the FTMO bot. We have the EA files. Give us the best weekly performing EA’s as tested by you, a professional team, and we can then swop out as required. SIMPLE. Those that cannot afford a VPS but runs on their local systems now ALSO have the weekly best performers.
Hey Alan
Thanks for this, seems like a solid strategy. Unfortunately, I do not have the money to open a new 10K account every two weeks. Have yet to pass one challenge and hopefully build from there.
I have my own strategy which I trade manually. But it is a VERY slow process. That is why I bought this FTMO EA. I was hoping it would help me achieve success a bit faster.
Unfortunately to date, this has not been the the case. I have been running the EA’s on a test account for two weeks, no clear winner except maybe AUDUSD, which I have enabled on my live 10K account with ZERO trades opened to date.
I have to be honest, been burned so many times, especially in the EA space, HUGE promises, and then you buy the EA, then basically nothing happens or there’s excuses. It is sort of beginning to feel like that here now as well.
I think it would make quite a bit of sense for Petko and team to update us weekly on which EA’s to use, which ones are best performing currently. Not everybody can afford a VPN running and testing all the time. MANY of us here are beginners taking on our first challenges, that’s why we are here…but alas. Not a positive experience to this point for me.
Run all 8 for two weeks. Then pick the top three most profitable. That is the process basically. Petko mentioned he now runs them on a three day period then picks the best ones. I do not see this working simply because the EA’s do not open a lot of trades. Either way. Activate all eight on your TEST account, NOT live account. Then pick the top ones for Live account.
Another question on your response Petko. You state that you look at the “last 3 days” but the EA does not open a lot of trades. How can you have sufficient data to make a decision in 3 days? Over a period of two weeks I have had 15 trades on the FTMO test account. One cannot make a decision on only one or two trades for a pair according to me…
Please help me understand the logic.
And also, FTMO test account will only run for two weeks, so how do I keep on testing this continuoulsy to see which ones work best.
