Hi Nicholas,
How did you know that you had to get the EAs approved before you started using them? I am looking at the website but all I can see is that they allow EAs. No mentioning about having to pre approve anything.
Kind Regards,

Hi,
Since the beginning of the week I have had 5 robots on my charts. AUDUSD v6.0 m6, XAUUSD v6.0 m15, AUDCHF v6.1 m5, USDCAD v6.1 m5, XAUUSD v6.1 m5. None of them have opened a trade since the beginning of the week.
I have had differences between the robot app results and my actual trades so could you please confirm if these pairs actually didn’t open trades this week yet or is something wrong with my settings?

Hi Alan,
I am looking at the past week. I intend to change the robots weekly but when I look at the past week, I see both v6.0 and v6.1 for AUDCHF.
v6.1 is newer obviously but v6.0 has done better for the past week. So this is why I am not sure which one should I be using?
Also, what if there will be a v6.2? Will we be seeing 3 different AUDCHF charts in the app then? Or how long until older versions stop showing? I just find this a little confusing. Some clarification would be appreciated.

Hi Alan,
Do we get any notification when a new version is released for any symbol? I do not recall being notified but I see now that there are v6.0 and V6.1 for a few symbols that is why I see multiple charts with the same symbol.
So right now for example if I look at the past week’s performance for AUDCHF v6.0 has done better than v6.1. Obviously v6.1 is the newer, improved version. So should I use that or still stick to 6.0 since that has actually done better? I find it a little confusing that both versions are being shown.
Could you advise?

Hi Alan,Yes the 50k challange is selected on the FTMO app.
Something is wrong with the robot app. Its showing 3 XAUUSD charts when I select the last day. Is it doing that just for me?
I can not make a screenshot so that its showing all 3 but you can see at least 2. Right??
Hi Alan,
I am so confused. The FTMO app is now showing that gold trade 563usd profit for the day while my trade is only about 113usd profit. I am running it on the FTMO server. Why the difference? Is anybody else experiencing it too or is it just me? I am looking at the 50k settings on the app and my trade is on a 50k account as well. Why the difference then?
Screenshot attached.
Update: something is definitely wrong with the app. Its showing 3 different XAUUSD charts. because of my computer settings I could only fit 2 in 1 screenshot. Please advise.
Well, I wasn’t necessarily expecting to pass the challenge in a certain period of time but I was expecting somewhat steady profits ups and downs of course but at least a little bit more ups than downs. But as I see its really just the luck of a draw once up, once down a and I am worried that at some point it my blow my account because I don’t see the profitable tendency over a month period now.
Hi Tanyeem,
Thanks for your response. Yes, that is exactly how I use the robots too. I check the past week’s 3 best performers and use them but they don’t do well after I put them on the charts.
On the other hand, the ones which were loosing the past week, are getting some profitable trades, but I only see that from the app since I am not using those as they were performing poorly the week before.
What are you suggesting?
Hi Alan,
I’m a little confused as to what exactly are you referring to. Shouldn’t the robot app be showing which robots have performed well, eliminating the need for me to manually backtest myself?
As for XAUUSD, how can the robot app show profits for the day, yet I am in a drawdown? I am using the FTMO server so I should have the same results. Right now my XAUUSD trade is sitting at -161 while the app shows +71. How can that be if we are both using the FTMO servers?
Hello,
I am very disappointed to see the robots performing so poorly. I tried to follow the strategy of trading just the top 3 performers but I am starting to think that the strategy to use the top performers from the last week or any other time period is actually useless. Their performance seems completely random and when I start using the robots after 1 week of good performance those that performed well, suddenly don’t do well anymore and those that weren’t doing well are showing profits in the app all of a sudden…. Its like I am always chasing the well performing robots but can never catch up to them.
Also, XAUUSD right now is showing a profit of 159usd for yesterday in the app. How is this possible?? I am using the FTMO server and my XAUUSD trade is in -107 usd. How can this be? How can this be?!
USDCHF was performing very poorly as well while it was on the 30minute timeframe. It was changed to 15minute and the backtests in the app showed it as the top performer so I put it on the charts. It got me 2 losses right away. Always one step behind. Is anybody actually passing challenges??? Please if you are passing challenges tell me how. I was already thinking to use the robots that performed poorly in the past week because maybe then it will perform well in the upcoming period, at least thats what I have experienced so far.
Sorry for the negativity but I am just loosing hope with these robots.
I see.
Running a copy trader is actually a pretty smart idea. Would you be running an FTMO trial account then?
The trial account is only for 2 weeks though. So when those 2 weeks expire, what do you think you would do with your open trades at the time? Close them as they are regardless of profit or loss and then just place the robots on a new fresh trial account for another 2 weeks?
Hi again,
Hmm, I wouldn’t have thought that a few pips can make such a difference. But it shouldn’t happen too often though, right?
Hi Alan,
Ok that explains the USDCHF issue.
What about EURAUD? The app shows that there were no trades for EURAUD in the past week. But actually I did have 1 profitable trade with the robot for that pair. Its already closed in profit. Screenshot attached. I am running the robot on an FX2 evaluation same as Petko. Why is that profitable trade not showing up in the app?
Hi Alan,
