Yesterday I set all 8 V6.0 robots to run both on an FTMO trial account, as well as on a challenge account at another prop firm.
I set exactly the same parameters and max spread 30.
I have a trade open at 06.00 on AUDCHF, on both accounts.
But on the FTMO account a trade was opened at 01.30 on USDCHF, and on the other account it was not opened.
Instead, on the other account a trade was opened at 08.30 on USDCAD, but it was not opened on FTMO.
I have attached the pictures.
Does this happen because of the spread difference?
What other causes can there be?
What trades have opened for you today, up to this moment?
Thank you.

Hello everyone.
This is a post for both users and moderators.
I’m trying to find the best setup option to use the robots on a live account.
I have 4 topics that I want to mention.

First topic:
I tested V5.1 and V6.0, with the same parameters, on an FTMO trial account. I tested 2021, 2022 and 2023 separately and here are the results I got.
The parameters I used are not important, but I used 0 spread and News filter on. I will give you the results so you can understand the differences.
2021 – V5.1 – 1610 profit
– V6.0 – 7600 profit

2022 – V5.1 – 15121 profit
– V6.0 – 20485 profit

2023 – V5.1 – 7440 profit
– V6.0 – 13130 profit
As you can see, V6.0 is much more profitable in all 3 years.

Second topic:
From my tests, with exactly the same parameters, Gold produces much less profit in V6.0 compared to V5.1. In 2021 the profit is almost the same, in 2022 V5.1 produces double the profit of V6.0, and in 2023 V5.1 produces more than double the profit of V6.0. If I’m not mistaken, V5.1 is more profitable than V6.0, right? Maybe XAUUSD V6.0 needs some improvements or should we still use V5.1?
With USDCHF the situation is different: in 2021 both versions have the same profit, in 2022 V6.0 has a much higher profit, and in 2023 V6.0 has a much lower profit. So if we were to use the 2023 results, it would be more appropriate to use V5.1. Or depends, we don’t know what will happen in 2024.
But with all other pairs, V6.0 is definitely more profitable.

Third topic:
I did various combinations between news filter off/on and Spread 0/30, testing all 8 robots version V6.0 with the same parameters, for the whole year 2023. What I could observe.
At spread 0, the results are identical on all pairs regardless of whether the news filter is disabled/enabled.
4 pairs have identical results at spread 30 as well and regardless of News filter.
But I obtained a higher profit on 3 other pairs, if I set News filter On and spread 30, but with slightly fewer trades. EURAUD gained more profit with 0 spread, with only one more trade in a year.

Fourth topic:
After all these tests, I am inclined to believe that during a whole year it is much simpler to permanently use all 8 robots at the same time. With very low risk, of course.
Maybe I’m wrong, but I’m inclined to believe that we’ll have more profit and less wasted time if we don’t constantly follow top performers.

Please if there are other users who have had similar or different results.
I ask the moderators to tell me (or us), what is correct and what is not correct among my results and what advice they have for us regarding these topics.
Thank you very much.

Hi Luce.

This is only if you don’t want to use a VPS at all and run the bots on your personal PC, open 24/7.
But if you use VPS, in addition to your challenge account on which you run the top 3 performers, you also run the FTMO trial account with all 8 robots.
At least that’s what I do. The VPS costs me 8 euros per month, which seems very ok to me.

@Sammy Trader, @Luce

I also understand the same thing, as on the app we can see the top performers overall from the last 5 years.
I understood that you can see the performances of the robots from the last week directly on the chart of each individual robot. It is the new function of version 6.0. And you set your own top.
Correct me if I’m wrong.

Regarding the Max spread setting, is it okay to set 30 for Forex pairs and 50 for Gold?

[gabiscriba]

It’s ok, Alan.

I understood what the rules are at FTMO, but now I’m asking in general so that we don’t have problems with other prop companies.
We change the name and the magic number and slightly modify the parameters of the indicators. Is it enough to modify only the Envelopes parameters or is it good to also modify the DeMarker, MACD, RSI?
Is it necessary or is it safer to change the name of the robot in the source code?
Thanks and congratulations once again for the upgrade and the app.

[gabiscriba]

Not a bad plan. Let us know.

[gabiscriba]

Hi Alan, about changing some parameters to make the trades unique.

In a comment you said “Petko has started in another Topic you can change the strategy by changing the indicators settings by a small amount and it will not significantly change the performance of the EA.”

I can’t find this topic. Can you tell me the name or give me the link?

So that I can stop asking questions and read by myself there?

Thanks.

[gabiscriba]

I would close half and set a trailing stop.

[gabiscriba]

Great! Let us know too.

[gabiscriba]

That’s great!

[gabiscriba]

@mustafa sameh, I would prefer this too.

[gabiscriba]

You are right. I have the same proposal and request that I had before. To post here weekly the ranking of the most profitable robots.
Thank you very much.

[gabiscriba]

Hi Robby.

You are not the only one asking questions, it’s just that they appear on several topics.
I am also waiting for the answers to your questions, especially the one about Top Performers.

 

[gabiscriba]

Now I’m already thinking that maybe I didn’t do the tests correctly either.

I think it would be helpful if other users of the robot would share their results here.
