Guys, just a heads up: the loss on Jan 20 was my mistake (fat finger error), I closed positions manually by accident. The bot is working fine. Happy trading!

MT4/MT5 vs cTrader: A Key Difference You Should KnowHey everyone,I wanted to share some thoughts on the differences between MetaTrader 4/5 and cTrader, particularly regarding a feature that doesn't get talked about enough: cloud hosting.The Cloud Hosting GapOne of the most significant differences between these platforms is how they handle cloud-based trading:cTrader offers free cloud hosting for your automated trading strategies (cBots) and technical indicators. This means your EAs can run 24/7 without needing a VPS or keeping your computer on constantly. It's built into the platform a...

Here are best ways to make profits v Obecné Dec 14, 2025 at 15:42

Great overview of the fundamentals! I'd add that one of the biggest challenges traders face is maintaining that discipline consistently — emotions tend to creep in, especially during volatile sessions or after a losing streak.That's actually why I developed an automated trading system. It handles entries and exits based on predefined rules, so there's no second-guessing or impulsive decisions. It also includes built-in risk management: spread monitoring to avoid trading during high-volatility spikes, position limits, and candlestick pattern filters to stay out of choppy marke...

Risk Reward v Noví obchodníci Dec 14, 2025 at 10:51

Solid rules, especially the 1% risk per trade and the discipline to stop after hitting targets. These fundamentals keep most traders from blowing up their accounts.The challenge is actually sticking to them. When you're up 15% and the market looks "perfect" for one more trade, or when you're down and want to recover - that's when discipline breaks down. We've all been there.That's why I moved to automated trading. A bot doesn't care if it's winning or losing, doesn't feel the urge to revenge trade, and won't "just take one more" because t...

How much gain is realistic ? v Obecné Dec 14, 2025 at 10:48

3% per day looks attractive on paper, but mathematically that means about 1,000% per year compounded - numbers that even the best hedge funds in the world don't achieve consistently.The problem you describe (making 20% and then losing everything) is exactly the point: without rigorous and automated risk management, emotions destroy your gains.From experience, more realistic targets for sustainable trading are in the range of 3-8% per month, not per day. And the key isn't maximizing gains, but minimizing losses during unfavorable periods.This is exactly why I developed a bot that takes ...

Manual trading is your best way to lose money. v Obecné Dec 11, 2025 at 17:27

Solid points. As someone who develops automated trading systems, I can confirm that point #2 is where most manual traders fail — not because they lack knowledge, but because emotions inevitably creep in. Fear during drawdowns, greed when things go well, revenge trading after a loss. A bot simply executes the rules without psychological interference.However, I'd add a caveat to point #3: backtesting is necessary but not sufficient. Curve-fitting is a real trap, and past performance in a backtest doesn't guarantee future results. The key is combining solid backtesting with realisti...

Welcome to the discussion page for Citadel Master Pro.This is a fully automated Forex strategy running on cTrader, live since June 2024. It trades multiple pairs including NZDCAD, AUDCAD, GBPUSD, GBPCHF and others.The system uses a grid-based approach with martingale elements. I know these techniques have a bad reputation, but when implemented with proper risk management and conservative settings, they can deliver consistent results - as the verified track record shows.😁 The key is controlling position sizing and having realistic expectations.I'm the developer, feel free to ask any...

Harami v Vzory Dec 03, 2025 at 15:18

Harami patterns are useful but I find them less reliable on their own compared to Engulfing or Hammer. The key is treating them as a warning sign rather than an immediate entry signal. When I see a Harami at a key level, I start paying attention, but I wait for the next candle to confirm the direction before committing.On lower timeframes it's mostly noise. H4 and Daily give much cleaner signals.

Engulfing Pattern v Vzory Dec 03, 2025 at 15:14

The Engulfing pattern is one of the most reliable candlestick formations when traded correctly. A bullish engulfing at a strong support level, or a bearish engulfing at resistance, can offer excellent risk-to-reward setups.In my experience developing automated trading strategies, I've found that the Engulfing pattern performs best when filtered by trend direction on higher timeframes and confirmed by momentum indicators. Trading it blindly on every occurrence leads to poor results, but with proper confluence it becomes a powerful tool.One thing I always check: the size of the engulfing can...

Hammer v Vzory Dec 03, 2025 at 15:12

The Hammer is indeed a powerful reversal pattern, but context is everything. I've found it most reliable when it appears at key support levels, especially after an extended downtrend, and is confirmed by the next candle closing above the hammer's body.From an algorithmic perspective, combining the Hammer with other filters like RSI oversold conditions or volume spikes significantly improves the win rate. As a cBot developer, I've tested various candlestick patterns extensively, and the Hammer works best when you don't trade it in isolation but as part of a broader confluence st...

cTrader v Obchodní platformy Dec 03, 2025 at 14:57

cTrader is hands down the best platform for anyone serious about automated trading. As a cBot developer myself, I've built and run automated strategies on this platform for years, and the stability and reliability have been outstanding. The combination of a professional-grade charting system, fast execution, and a powerful C# development environment makes it stand out from competitors. If you're looking to develop or run trading bots, cTrader should be your first choice.

Is Fundamental Analysis Overrated in Forex? v Zkušení obchodníci Nov 21, 2025 at 10:51

I spent years in the 'hybrid' camp you mentioned - tracking fundamentals for direction, technicals for timing. But here's what I learned the hard way: the real problem isn't whether fundamentals matter or not. It's execution under pressure.You can have the perfect fundamental thesis (Fed pivoting, inflation cooling, whatever), spot a great technical setup... and still mess up the trade because of hesitation, second-guessing, or emotional reactions to drawdown.That's actually what pushed me toward automation. Not because I think fundamentals don't matter, but because...

What are candlestick chart patterns? v Noví obchodníci Nov 19, 2025 at 14:38

What are candlestick chart patterns?Candlestick patterns are visual formations created by one or more candles that traders use to predict potential price movements. Each candle represents a time period and shows four key pieces of information: open, close, high, and low.Most common patterns:Doji - Candle with a very small body (open and close nearly identical). Indicates market indecision and possible reversal.Hammer and Hanging Man - Small body at the top with a long lower shadow. Hammer in a downtrend suggests bullish reversal, Hanging Man in an uptrend suggests bearish reversal.Engulfing - ...

i Shaliya,Great that you're prioritizing low drawdown and long-term stability over flashy returns. That's the right mindset for sustainable trading.A few things to consider when evaluating any EA (including the ones recommended here):Always ask for verified Myfxbook results with at least 3-6 months of live trading (not just backtests)Check the drawdown history during volatile market periods - that's where you see the real risk managementVerify it's not using risky strategies like martingale or grid trading without stop lossesMake sure there's proper support, documentation, ...

How Does a Triangular Arbitrage Bot Find Profitable Opportunities? v Programování Nov 17, 2025 at 21:14

Great overview on triangular arbitrage! I'd like to add a couple of considerations from my experience with automated trading:The crucial point you mentioned about latency is fundamental. In my experience, the difference between a profitable bot and one that loses money lies precisely in the infrastructure: co-located servers near exchanges and optimized APIs make all the difference.Another critical aspect is risk management. Although triangular arbitrage is theoretically "risk-free", in practice there are partial execution risks - if only 2 of the 3 trades execute successfully, y...

Overall, I'm satisfied. I've never had any problems, and I recommend it. As I mentioned before, the history management needs to be improved.
