Thank you Fanta Stic (great name btw).

I have amended the title of this topic.

Hey Peter,

I already wrote to you over email about this, but I’m sharing it in case you missed that.

On our powerful servers we use the Express Generator which generates over 8000 new strategies per market every day. Then we pass them via Acceptance Criteria and Monte Carlo. We merge them to our running collections (up to 100 strategies per market). During the weekend, we choose the best 30 for a market and upload them to the Top 10 Robots App server.  The strategies are kept in the Top 10 until they perform well in a virtual trading environment. We have strategies for staying in the Top 10 for more than a few months. That’s why most strategies have a different Create date (when the strategy was created) and Added date (when the strategy was added to the server).

As Alan pointed, there is no notification about this process. You just need to go to the app and see if new strategies are added for the pair you trade with. Also don’t forget that if you trade with more strategies you need to adopt your lots accordingly. Otherwise you are risking higher portion of your account. You can watch this video to see how we manage the EAs in our accounts. This is not a financial advice, just the way we use the EAs and works well for us. You can follow a similar system or you can implement your own system if you prefer.

Hi Justin, I’m not sure what you mean. The Grid Machine account on  DarwinEx is up approx 95%….

I can check with Nikos who is managing that account. I am sure he mentioned it was on default settings, besides the lotsize anyway.

Have you performed many tests with it? How many demo accounts are you running it on? How many brokers demo accounts are you using?

Have you varied the settings?

[Marin Stoyanov]

Hi Tom,

Do you have a pic of your settings?

I believe the highest leverage on BlackBull is 1:500. So I’ve been using that.

How much demo testing have you done? Are you comfortable with the results of it to jump to a live account? How long has it been running?

I’m not a financial advisor, so giving settings for a live account is outside my playground. I can assist with suggestions on your demo accounts for testing, but live accounts are your responsibility once you’re confident with the settings and behaviours of the EA.

Hi again MKFXTIM,

If you’ve managed to check out my vids, I run through the currencies and time frames that worked best in my backtesting with those settings. But please do your own testing, on your brokers, with your settings, to make sure you have a robust group of currencies/instruments for the trading environment.

M30

XagUsd  AudChf   AudJpy  GbpUsd  AudUsd  EurUsd  UsdCad  EurCad AudNzd AudSgd EurJpy XauUsd  EthUsd Ger30

M5

AudUsd   EurUsd  EurJpy  AudSgd  EurCaD  AudNzd  Ger30

That group seemed to work well for my settings. Let me know how your backtests turn out…

On MT5, in the strategy tester window, in “Optimisation” select “all symbols selected in marketwatch” and that will save you a BUNCH of time, so you can batch backtest. Make sure you’ve allowed 200,000 candles and scrolled back through time to load it all, or download all the history.

I hope that helps.

Congratulations MKFXTim!

How’d you go with your allocation?

Sorry for the late response. Great profile pic too.

Can you share some more about your settings? Or your profit factor / profits so far, FX blue results/link or anything like that?

Winning on DarwinEx?!??! Fantastic! I hope you have a long and happy profitable partnership with them.

Hi O.Gabor, quite a few settings make up the Max DD allowed in the account.

• Lotsize
• Grid distance
• Grid on or off.
• number of allowed trades on at once
• the percentage DD protections.
• … just to name a few

Have you performed any backtests to play with the behaviours of the EA over a fixed amount of time?
Perhaps screenshots in a document could help to analyse the best performing factors.

Then you’ll learn about the EA and understand how it works.

Does that help?

I’ve shared set files in the past with videos, and they worked for some time, but haven’t been bulletproof. So more analysis is required. Perhaps you can come up with better settings?

 

[Marin Stoyanov]

Nice work Andrew.
Can you share a backtest graph of results with us? and have you started demo testing on that? If/when you do, please included a FXBlue link so we can check it out.

Great thinking! I’d love to see it working.

150 min distance sounds like a good safety mechanism to reduce DD by a large factor.

Hello Paul4x, let me explain this.

Although they look similar, these are 2 different webapps that suite different needs.

The robots in the Prop Firm Robots App are fewer compared to the prop firm robots app and currently there is no point to have the Winners and Latest sections in this app. If there is a new strategy added it will replace one of the existing worst performing strategies. The number of strategies is much smaller and it’s easier to see when the strategy was added and updated in a single screen. On the other hand, this app has build-in settings for challenge targets, protections and etc. which are not present in the other app.

The Top 10 Robots App works differently. Currently there are 100 strategies in total in the app. New strategies are being added every weekend and some of the existing once which are not perfuming well are being dropped. This makes it very difficult to see  when a new strategy is added and also to arrange the strategies by different criteria, as in the app each pair has it’s own view.

We’re working on exciting updates in the Prop Firm Robots app that will be released in the next 1-2 weeks. We will post an update in the relevant forum and send emails to the users who have the app so you will receive a notification once this happens.

Sure, you can use it for a funded account too!

Kind Regards,

Hello Melih,

Sorry for the late reply.

Can you tell me for which offer you are talking about?

Thank you!

Kind Regards,
Nikos

Hi Bkennedy74,
You’re right, it should be identical.
Have you tried it?
How are the EAs working for you with that data set?

Warmly
Matt

[Marin Stoyanov]

You’re most welcome Ozren. Ok, the Happy Gold is easy to setup. With your experience, I’m sure you’ll have it setup quickly.

Thank you so much. And sorry to hear about your recent loss. Part of the game isn’t it.

Thank you for your suggestions. I’ll check them out.

I appreciate your well wishes also.

Happy Trading!

Hi, I found your order from October 31, 2023. You do have a lifetime license. Please try deleting your browser cache and website cookies and then access the Prop Firm Robots App again. Everything should be working fine after that.
