Trading leveraged products such as forex and CFDs carries a high level of risk and you can lose more than your deposit. TheTradingRobot is software; it does not provide investment advice or manage your account. Past and hypothetical performance is not indicative of future results.
TheTradingRobot.com sells software. It is not authorised or regulated by CySEC, the FCA, the CFTC/NFA or any financial regulator, does not hold client funds, and does not provide personal recommendations.
What a robot can and cannot do
- A robot follows the rules you set. It cannot make a bad strategy good, and we do not choose or recommend strategies.
- A limit stops new trades. It cannot stop prices from jumping, so a loss can sometimes go past the limit you set.
- The Account Protector watches your account and acts when you allowed it to. It reacts after the fact, and it cannot stop another robot or you from opening trades again.
- Your broker's prices, spreads, slippage and execution all affect your results. A robot stops working if your computer, VPS or internet connection stops.
- Prop firms apply their own rules and make their own decisions. Settings that match a firm's published limits are not a promise about how the firm will treat your account.
- Try a robot on a demo account before you use it with real money, and only trade with money you can afford to lose.
Backtests and other hypothetical results
A backtest shows what a robot would have done on past prices in MetaTrader 5's Strategy Tester. It is not a record of real trading. Wherever we show a backtest, or any figure worked out from one, the following statement appears next to it at the same size. It is the statement that the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission's Rule 4.41 asks for.
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading... There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.
