Good day EA Trading academy members

 

I am just wanting to find out if your EA’s have been taking trades?
I have set everything up perfectly and have set up all the different pairs on my Metatrader 5.

I have not had a trade on any of the pairs today and I am just beginning to worry that something may be wrong with the way I have setup the EA’s. I honestly have done everything by the textbook.

Is it just the Robots that take so few trades?

 

Cheers

I haven’t had this issue.

But I’d like to see the response from the EA Trading academy team to see the potential issue.

Quick question with regards to backtesting

When I back test I usually look at the Results column as well.
I am focusing on Profit, Drawdown, Profit factor and recovery factor.

I also look at the actual results column though.

Is there a specific number we should be aiming for in the results column or is looking at the above mentioned enough to do an accurate backtest?

Regards

Give the EA some time to work.

Try backtesting them in the meantime.

 

I have done backtests on majority of the files from the FTMO robot app and I picked up that most of them take between 10 – 13 trades a month. You can’t expect the EA’s to be trading all the time.

 

The most important thing is that the EA’s take high probability trades only. Be patient & don’t rush the system.

 

Luckily all the Prop firms don’t have maximum trading days anymore so you can be patient and let the EA’s do the work.

I am just interested to know if anyone is keen to join a Telegram group to share Experience with the FTMO Robot and discuss potential set files and success strories?

 

Cheers

Excellent

Thank you for the prompt response Alan.

Much appreciated.

Started with the FTMO robot on 100k Demo account yesterday & its up 1.8% already.

Very interested in your guys services and keen to make it work with EA Trading academy.

Any suggestions are always welcomed.

Hey Alan

Thank you for the response.
I really appreciate it.

Yes I was running both on my Laptop and on the VPS.

I have closed MT5 on my laptop now and the EA’s are only running on my VPS.
Let’s see if this works.

Thanks again

[Richard Lawrie]

Thank you Alan

 

Appreciate the response

Is there anyway I can change this to a non hedging account? I got a FTMO 100k demo account and I logged into that with the FTMO MT5

 

Another thing… Am I able to close trades manually because I tried to close 1 of the positions of each pair now and I can’t seem to close them manually.

[Richard Lawrie]

I only have 1 tab open for each pair.

I have traded EA’s in the past and have never had this problem so I assumed 2 positions were just opened on each pair due to the EA.

 

2 positions opened on USDCAD at the exact same price & 2 positions opened on AUDUSD at the exact same price. Just worried this is not normal and puts me at higher risk.

Good day FTMO Robot Team

 

I trust you are doing well

I purchased the FTMO robot earlier today.

It has just opened it’s first positions on my 100k FTMO Demo account.

I am trialing the robot on Demo before I add it to a live account.

AUD/USD & USD/CAD opened positions today but I noticed that 2 of the same positions were opened on each of these pairs.

Is this normal or is there perhaps a setting that I need to change? My Demo account is also connected to a VPS.

Thanks in advance.
