The vendor website of Forex Robotron does not provide details about the strategy, but we can reveal a few facts based on the back tests.
The current tested version (v25) trade on the M5 timeframe and does open only long positions with the default settings (this can be changed). It supports the following 8 pairs: EURAUD, EURCAD, EURCHF, EURGBP, EURUSD, GBPAUD, USDCAD and USDCHF.
Forex Robotron trades ranging markets, directly after the rollover time. The hours directly after the rollover is the most illiquid period with the highest spread. A good broker feed is necessary.
All trades using a stop loss and take profit each 100 pips for all pairs. These levels are reached only rarely. Most positions are closed dynamically earlier.
Our opinion
The backtests are quite good, but the vendor only provide live results for older versions and/or discontinued live results with mostly unregulated brokers on his website. We are missing a live result from a well regulated ECN Broker. It seems that the tested version (v25) from April 2019 offer many additional pairs and we recommend to wait for a real account, that show that the strategy is profitable. Be aware, that this strategy trade directly after the rollover time, which mean that the spreads are high and the liquidity could be low. That can lead to more negative slippage. You need to choose a broker with low spreads during this timeframe. Check out our spread compare tool to find the best available broker. We decided to provide a own live account to see how this EA will perform on an ECN BrokerLive performance
Fixed lot size backtests
Why do we use fixed lot size (0.1 lots)? Check our educational page.
