XAUUSD V3 is the best performing pairs so far. You can follow the display account here. |
Robot Validated Settings which are currently in drawdown - New Model

| EURJPY 4h | Download EURJPY V3 Settings | Yes |
The EURJPY V3 has potential despite being currently in drawdown. See the video for more details. You can follow the display account here. The EURJPY V3 give a slower growth with smaller drawdown the the Gold variants and it can be used for diversification of your trading. If using more charts, except the high target, possible profit targets are 120, 320 |
Use at your own risk: Experimental Settings which do not confirm simulations - V3 Variations

| XAUUSD 4h | Download the Experimental XAUUSD V3 Settings | No |
So far, these settings don't match the simulated results, however, they outperform the simulated results in real trading, as well as the V3 settings. You can follow the display accounts: Possible targets except the default high target: |

| GBPUSD 4h | Download V2 | Download V1 | - |
| USDJPY 4h | Download V1 | Download V2 | For this pair, we are still uncertain what is the best setting. We will observe it more, as the V2 is closer to the model of the new Gold settings, but did not confirm yet. |
| EURJPY 4h | - | - | We don't recommend using this setup at this stage, or using it with minimum risk settings. We are building a new model for it. |
| XAUUSD 1D | Download V2 | Download V1 | Either use this pair with the minimum trade size with V2, or simply do not use it until we have a new setup |
| USDJPY 1D | - | - | We don't recommend using this setup at this stage, as it is too close to the V1 of the 4h USDJPY setup, and we are building a new model for it. |
Which settings to choose?
It’s up to you now! Please take a look at the live results as well as the simulations and think which trading style suits you better!
In the video below, we give our recommendation!
When reading a chart look for the following:
- Initial capital vs profit result – see how you feel about perspective warning. Please remember that backtests results don’t guarantee future results. Backtests validate the strategy throughout many types of market over many years.
- Relative drawdown – this is how much loss you can suffer temporarily. If it says 30% it means the robot is able to lose that much at one point. So, think if you can handle that kind of temporary loss and invest accordingly.
- Win percentage vs average profit/trade. Some simulations show high win rates, but watch the average profit and loss. With certain strategies even by having big losses but many small wins, you can come on top.
- Spread – the simulation results are influenced by this parameter, we use a value a bit bigger than what the brokers advertise, to be on the safe side.
