How to Backtest the FTMO Robot

FTMO Servers do not provide sufficient bars to backtest the Robot. We suggest MT5 for backtesting because it uses Live spreads.

You can check how much data you have on MetaTrader if you press the Home key and use the crosshair to spot the first date.

If you want to perform the backtest with the FTMO Robot:

• Use Open prices as a backtesting model.
• By default, the spread is set to current on MT and the FTMO Robot includes spread protection. You will not see trades on the backtest if your current spread is higher than the default 30 points (3 pips).
• If you are backtesting the FTMO Robot on a 10k trial/challenge account, make sure to use the set file provided for 10k account to see trades opening.
