Example robots
Seven robots you can open in the builder, change and check. Each page explains the rules in plain words, names every safety limit, and says what the robot does not do.
These are examples of rules, not advice. A robot follows its rules exactly; whether the rules suit you is for you to decide. Past results do not tell you what will happen next.
The example robots
EMA Cross Trend
Follows the trend on EURUSD, one hour at a time. It buys when a fast moving average crosses above a slow one while the price is above its long-term average, and sells on the opposite cross.

MACD Trend with Daily Loss Limit
Trades EURUSD on 30-minute bars when the MACD crosses its signal line and the market is trending. Its daily loss limit and total loss limit are set from a prop firm's published rules, and it stays out around big news.

Bollinger Band Stretch

How an example robot works
Open one in the builder and its blocks are already in place: when it looks, what must be true, what it does, and the safety limits it must keep. Change any number or add and remove blocks, and the builder checks the robot as you go.
Five of the seven open trades. The Account Protector opens none: it watches the whole account and closes everything at a loss limit. The Price Level Alert opens none either: it emails you when a price is crossed.
Every trading robot keeps its safety limits. You can change their numbers, but you cannot delete them, and the builder refuses the robots on our refusal list.
