    Good day Alan

    Thank you for the feedback.
    Much appreciated.

    So I am using a combination of the top performing Prop firm EA’s which I have selected based on monthly, yearly and 5 year cross checks. I have specific criteria that I am looking for when selecting the EA’s I am using. I am also using some of the Top 10 USDJPY robots and XAUUSD robots with a similar selection criteria to the Prop robots. So ultimately I am trading the Prop EA and Top 10 Robots App on 1 Eightcap Standard account. This Eightcap standard Demo is my Master account and I am using Social Trader Tools to copy to 2 x Darwinex Zero accounts at the moment.

    Some of the Top 10 robots I am using actually look much better than the Prop EA’s I am using but they don’t seem to be performing as well as they indicate. I am using a fairly large number of robots on the account. The bot’s have been setup for 0.25% risk and not 0.5 % or 1% risk. This is so the robots can hedge one another and that will hopefully mean that the drawdown limits will be kept low. This has been the case, the drawdown has been nice and low but the robots have really not been performing well and the account balance has been dropping conistently over the last 3 weeks.

    This is why I am reaching out though. To get some guidance and to hopefully see what is/isn’t working for others.

    Are you only using the Prop Robots and not the Top 10 robots. Based on the results on the EA Trading academy website it also looks like the Top 10 EA’s are performing very well and this is also why I have included them in the master account.

    Hope this all makes sense.

    I think we deserve to see some testimonials from actual EA Trading academy customers instead of only seeing video’s of Petko passing.

    I have spent a large amount of money and an even larger amount of my time (which is far more valuable than money) with EA Trading academy. I would prefer to know if I am wasting my time on all of this so I can move onto something bigger and better.

    I do feel it is the responsibility of the support team to answer these kinds of questions and give some guidance as we are their customers.

    Perhaps a live stream with Petko & support is a good option so we can ask relevant questions etc.

    It would be really great if the bots that do get removed go to another page of some sorts where we can still track them. The Robots are being changed frequently based on market conditions. I have robots that I am still running on my portfolio that have not been on the app for a few weeks already and they have still been performing well.

    I also have both BTC robots on my MT5. I think it only takes very high probability trades though. It does not trade frequently so perhaps it has not taken trades because the market has not produced the criteria for the robot to trade.
