Hey @sevanohan, Nikos already shared how to solve this issue but let me explain why does this happen so you have context and understanding on how to modify the properties in order to prevent similar issues in the future.
From the screenshot I see that you’re trading with the EAs which are preset for a $10k account. But since you are running a $15k challenge, you would need to modify the protections of the EAs.
If you go to the Journal tab (and on the chart also) you will see a message “Maximum equity protection activated. Equity: 15000.00” and then current position closed and expert advisor turned off. The reason for this is that when you download the $10k EA and select a Profit Target between 4% and 10%, this would set the Maximum equity (currency) protection to be somewhere between 4% and 10% from the equity. In your case I assume you picked a 5% profit target as this is the requirement of the challenge, and this would set the value for this protection to be somewhere around $10,500. Since you’re starting the challenge and your equity is at $15,000, this is way above the 5% from the $10k account and the EA is removed from the chart (because it assumes that you reached your target profit).
So you would need to modify the below properties according to your challenge balance and requirements.
For a $15k setup to keep the same risk settings you defined initially when you downloaded the EAs, you can easily multiply the $10k lots by 1.5 (since 10,000*1.5=15,000).
You can read this post which explains how to modify the rest of the protections accordingly.
Hope this helps.
Hey Sevan, we have a separate sub-forum about the brokers that other US traders use. You can look at it and see what other traders use and engage in a conversation with them about hedging and if they found a suitable broker.
Glad to hear that Shekeb. Don’t forget that your trading platform must be running 24/7 to be connected to the broker’s server and execute trades.
Hey Adam, if you have a license for Expert Advisor Studio you can upload the MT4 strategy in the Strategy Editor and then download it as MT5 strategy.
Hello,
The forex market is open 24 hours a day during weekdays but closes on weekends. Because this market operates in multiple time zones, it can be accessed at any time except for the weekend break.
That being said, please check the Journal and Experts tab for any errors messages that might help to identify the problem and post some screenshots here so we can assist you if there are setup issues.
Using multiple Expert Advisors (EAs) on Darwinex may reduce the likelihood of being detected for correlation, but it does not guarantee it. Darwinex uses sophisticated algorithms to detect correlated trading patterns, which means that if multiple EAs produce similar trading signals, the system might still identify the correlation.
It is best to use a different robot that is probably not used much on Darwinex because if you use a popular EA and they understand that there are a lot of accounts with the same robot, they might not allow both to withdraw any payouts. In this case, to make it individual, make sure to just use a unique robot, e.g. change magic number, modify the TP and SL and other properties slightly.
Hello, we haven’t tested this or used any service as we’re focused on MetaTrader only. Hopefully other traders will have something in mind.
Hey Willian, there is no trial period for the EAs. You can see the backtest of each strategy directly in the app. We started several challenges with these EAs at the moment and you can see the performance in real time as well as the track record for each.
As per our Terms of Service, section for Robot Refunds, we offer a 30-day money back period if the robots are not profitable.
Hello Richard, please check this post about R–Squared where Petko covers the topic in detail. There you can find a video explanation as well.
Hello Robin,
I already replied to your email but I will write here as well in case you missed the email.
In accordance with our Terms of Service, you are eligible for a refund if the robots are not profitable.
Please fill this form to proceed with the refund request
Hello, there was a caching issue with your access. Please logout and login again and try to access the app again. Problem should be solved now.
Hey Peter,
I already wrote to you over email about this, but I’m sharing it in case you missed that.
On our powerful servers we use the Express Generator which generates over 8000 new strategies per market every day. Then we pass them via Acceptance Criteria and Monte Carlo. We merge them to our running collections (up to 100 strategies per market). During the weekend, we choose the best 30 for a market and upload them to the Top 10 Robots App server. The strategies are kept in the Top 10 until they perform well in a virtual trading environment. We have strategies for staying in the Top 10 for more than a few months. That’s why most strategies have a different Create date (when the strategy was created) and Added date (when the strategy was added to the server).
As Alan pointed, there is no notification about this process. You just need to go to the app and see if new strategies are added for the pair you trade with. Also don’t forget that if you trade with more strategies you need to adopt your lots accordingly. Otherwise you are risking higher portion of your account. You can watch this video to see how we manage the EAs in our accounts. This is not a financial advice, just the way we use the EAs and works well for us. You can follow a similar system or you can implement your own system if you prefer.
Hello Paul4x, let me explain this.
Although they look similar, these are 2 different webapps that suite different needs.
The robots in the Prop Firm Robots App are fewer compared to the prop firm robots app and currently there is no point to have the Winners and Latest sections in this app. If there is a new strategy added it will replace one of the existing worst performing strategies. The number of strategies is much smaller and it’s easier to see when the strategy was added and updated in a single screen. On the other hand, this app has build-in settings for challenge targets, protections and etc. which are not present in the other app.
The Top 10 Robots App works differently. Currently there are 100 strategies in total in the app. New strategies are being added every weekend and some of the existing once which are not perfuming well are being dropped. This makes it very difficult to see when a new strategy is added and also to arrange the strategies by different criteria, as in the app each pair has it’s own view.
We’re working on exciting updates in the Prop Firm Robots app that will be released in the next 1-2 weeks. We will post an update in the relevant forum and send emails to the users who have the app so you will receive a notification once this happens.

Marin @ Customer Support
