What results can I expect with BOT 6 FTMO EA? +

Backtests on XAUUSD M15 across full-year 2024 show $198K net profit from a $10,000 deposit with 5.43% maximal drawdown and a 71.47% win rate. These are simulation results—live performance will vary due to spread, slippage, and broker execution. Factors influencing outcomes include capital size, start_lot setting, and market volatility. Expect lower absolute returns on smaller accounts. Allow 60+ days of demo testing before drawing conclusions about live viability.

What makes BOT 6 FTMO EA different from other EAs? +

Most EAs use one or two entry filters. BOT 6 FTMO EA requires three concurrent confirmations—Bollinger Bands, Stochastic (5,3,3), and RSI (12)—before any trade fires. This triple-filter gate reduces low-quality entries and contributed to the 71% win rate in backtesting. The stealth mode also hides orders from broker-side detection, which benefits traders on platforms that widen spreads against visible grid positions.

Can I use BOT 6 FTMO EA for prop firm challenges? +

Yes, with careful configuration. The default backtest achieved 5.43% maximal drawdown on XAUUSD M15—well within FTMO's 10% daily and 20% overall limits. Before a challenge, reduce start_lot and disable the lot multiplier to cap grid exposure. Always run the exact challenge configuration on a demo account for at least 30 days to confirm DD behaviour under your broker's conditions before starting evaluation.

Does BOT 6 FTMO EA work on demo accounts? +

Yes, and demo testing is required before live deployment. The EA runs identically on demo and live MT4 accounts. Use demo to verify that your broker's XAUUSD spread and execution speed are compatible with the EA's grid spacing. A minimum of 60 days on demo is recommended to observe behaviour across different volatility conditions before committing real capital.

What capital do I need to run this EA safely? +

The backtest used a $10,000 starting deposit with 0.1 start_lot and 2× multiplier—this is the recommended safe baseline. A minimum of $1,000 was tested, but at that level grid drawdowns carry proportionally higher account risk. Undercapitalised accounts may face margin calls during multi-level grid expansions. Using less than $5,000 without reducing the multiplier significantly increases the risk of a stop-out before the grid recovers.

What are the main risks and how do I manage them? +

The grid multiplier (2×) is the primary risk driver: consecutive losing levels compound position size rapidly. In the XAUUSD M15 backtest, maximal drawdown reached $5,066 (5.43%) with 7 consecutive losses hitting -$2,103. Control this by keeping start_lot at 0.1 per $10K balance, setting use_daily_target to limit session exposure, and avoiding the EA during major news events where price gaps can skip take-profit levels. With default settings on a $10K account, expect 5–8% drawdown during normal volatility, with recovery typically within days at the observed win rate.

Which brokers work best with this EA? +

ECN or STP brokers with XAUUSD spread under 20 pips and fast execution are ideal—ICMarkets SC was used in backtesting. Avoid market-maker brokers where spread widens during volatility, as this directly compresses the EA's tight $5 take-profit-in-money exits. Minimum leverage of 1:100 is recommended to support grid position stacking. Brokers that restrict automated trading or flag grid EAs should also be avoided.
