FAQ

Answers before you start

Quick explanations on bots, indicators, conversions, and how to set things up correctly.

A bot monitors the indicators and conditions you define. When those rules match the market, it executes actions like opening, closing, or adjusting positions. Good bots also include risk rules such as stop protection, profit targets, trailing logic, and position sizing.

Yes. Many MQL-based tools can be rebuilt in C# for cTrader. If you don’t code, you can work with an experienced consultant from the cTrader developer community to handle the conversion.

Start with your trading style and timeframe. Then evaluate consistency, drawdown behavior, and how the bot reacts in different market conditions. Avoid choosing purely by “big profit” screenshots—focus on repeatable logic and risk control.

Confirm the bot is attached to the correct instrument, your parameters are saved, and the bot status is active. Run a short test on demo, review the logs, and validate that entries/exits match the rules you intended.

Yes. Just make sure each bot has defined risk limits and you understand how combined exposure behaves when signals align.

Not always. Many traders start with existing bots and adjust parameters. If you want a custom strategy, you can either build it (C#) or work with a professional developer to implement your rules precisely.

Common builds include trend (MACD/RSI/Ichimoku), volatility (ATR/Bollinger/Keltner), structure (support/resistance, pivots), and price-action models. The best choice depends on the behavior you want to capture and how you manage risk.

Create an account, verify your details, and fund your wallet. Start by running your bot on demo first, then go live once you’re satisfied with behavior and risk limits.
