      Hi Everyone, I would like to help people become profitable or more profitable using the Top 10 App and Prop Firm Robots App. Please see my videos on the EA Trading Academy Youtube Channel along with my recent summary topic of many of the prop challenges I have passed using EA Studio.

      The approach I would like to propose is different to the typical selection of EAs and trading them for a set period of time (I.e. trading for the week and then changing).

      What I am going to propose will be built upon over coming months as there are a few nuances with risk setting etc but it will be very simple and I would encourage anyone to share their results using this method and ask questions.

      The basic principle to what I am recommending in a nutshell is this:

      1 – Place a selection criteria that increases the chances of selecting the most robust EAS that have a chance of surviving in the markets over the longterm

      2 – Trading these EAs until they breach past performance statistics (I.e. They no longer perform as expected from past results)

      This is an alternative to the typical used approach which is:

      1 – Try to select the robots that are working well most recently (i.e appear to be working well in current conditions)

      2 – Trade these for a fixed period of time

      Both approaches are valid, however I want to offer an alternative that may be preferred by many users. OR you may just be getting started and want to test both approaches at the same time to find what you like best.

      SO lets get started with the Top 10 App.

      STEP 1 – Variations on the following process can be applied but currently my opinion of best way to find robust EAs on this app should be as follows:

      Focus on OOS trades. The more OOS trades that have been placed on demo that also look to have traded in a similar fashion to the back test over suitable period (1 year is fine for M5 and M15 but use ALL for higher time frame strategies)

      Additionally you can also make a habit of downloading the best looking EAs regularly from this app, putting on a demo account and using FXBLUE to track your own statistics as these EAS change regularly, just a suggestion.

      STEP 2 – List all your trading EAs in spreadsheet along with the drawdown % as listed on the app for ongoing monitoring

      STEP 3 – Connect your account to FXBlue and then check weekly if any of your individual strategies have breached 1.5x the maximum drawdown in your spreadsheet (Always best to have a bit of a buffer)

      And that is that 🙂

      Also very importantly for risk, make sure that the sum of your risk % profits doesn’t exceed your desired total drawdown. Trading 3-6 EAs at a time would be a good target and replace any that fail overtime with a new one.

      Feel free to ask any questions and I will be happy to help!

      Now for the Prop Firm Robots App

      For this I would recommend an ALMOST identical approach to the Top 10 App process as described above.

      However I would make ONE tweaks specifically:

      1 – Rather than using the randomize feature to get unique strategies I would ensure trading 3 pairs and 2 strategies for each (or 2 pairs and 3 strategies for each). This way it will be extremely unlikely that correlation with other traders will occur (If you want me to further elaborate on this then just ask bellow) – Note that this can also be applied to using the top 10 app for passing Prop Firm Challenges.

      And that’s that. Just do the same as described above, check your drawdowns using fx blue weekly and only make changes if required.

        Maybe you could provide some sort of copy trading, I hope you can share the most profitable robot and we will follow it. Because I have tried various methods for 2 months and a maximum profit i reached is 2 percent and still haven’t passed the prop. I’m starting to get frustrated with this robot, and even if I want to give up, I don’t know how to refund this robot.

          Hi, this may happen in the future but I have just started working with the developer to review and improve the process creating and selecting the EAs shown on the app and we are also investigating some alternative methods to EA selection and management. I believe that these combined changes will make big improvements to the ease in which users are able to make consistent profits. There will be upcoming videos and post to explain further but its high priority 🙂

      Thanks a lot, can you talk more about  Prop Firm Robots App for new?

      How much time do really use for pass prop?

      I mean zero to pass (Full progression)

      Hi, this all depends really. If you mean your own manual time then not much since robots trade automatically. If you mean how long until pass, well that cannot be controlled. I’ve had some pass in a couple of months and some in nearly a year but I always have my risk very low.

      The prop firm app isn’t currently included but the top 10 app is which can also be used for prop trading. I outlined a good method of how to use each of the apps for prop firms here: https://platform.algotradingspace.com/forums/topic/method-for-profiting-with-top-10-and-prop-firm-app/#post-465905
