Description

Independent track record: the full edition of this cBot runs 24/5 on its own demo account with live market prices, publicly tracked on Myfxbook (search "realbacktesting").


Full documentation, every setting and all the data in more detail on our website: realbacktesting


Do not believe the +37.30%. Go and check it.


This is the FREE edition of Olympus Zeus - the full cBot: the same engine, the same 8 strategies across 6 markets (EUR/USD, NZD/USD, DAX 40, GBP/USD, Gold, EUR/JPY), the same configuration panel. It runs inside cTrader's Backtester and Optimizer and reproduces the published figures on your own machine. The only thing it will not do is place a live order.

Recipe: m1/tick data, 01 Sep 2025 - 31 Aug 2026, starting capital 10,000 EUR, Additive sizing, default preset. Same broker data, same figures.


READ THIS BEFORE THE NUMBER


It is one year. Our FTMO line publishes five and the Pegasus line two and a half; Olympus is new, and we publish what exists rather than stretch it. That year also sits inside the window the book was selected on, so read it as a measurement of this book, not as a forecast. What deserves your weight is the shape: the depth of the drawdown and how many months ended negative.


WHAT YOU CAN DO (and what you cannot)


CAN: backtest it on your broker's data with your own spread and commission over any period you like; redraw the published equity curve; tune every setting the paid edition has - risk, sizing, each strategy on/off, its risk and side, the guards - and run the cTrader Optimizer over them.

CANNOT: trade it live or on demo. On a real-time account it prints a notice and stops. That is the one thing the paid edition adds.


THE OLYMPUS LINE - THREE BOOKS THAT DO NOT MOVE TOGETHER


Zeus, Atenea and Hera are three separate portfolios. Over the same 12 months their daily P&L correlation was between 0.08 and 0.15. Same backtest conditions for all three:


Zeus +37.30% max DD -7.42% return/DD 5.0 $120 - the entry point

Atenea +56.86% max DD -6.86% return/DD 8.3 $160 - the balance

Hera +63.65% max DD -4.45% return/DD 14.3 $250 - the premium book


The more expensive the book, the less you pay per unit of return over drawdown. That is how the line is priced, and the numbers above are the whole argument.


RISK CONTROLS THAT SURVIVE A RESTART


MAX-DRAWDOWN GUARD at 20%. If it stops the book, the book STAYS stopped - through a restart, a reboot or another PC.


DAILY-LOSS GUARD at 5%, counted on the reset clock you choose, so it matches your account's day, not ours. A restart mid-session does not hand the day's allowance back.


EVERY POSITION CARRIES A STOP from the moment it opens, and open trades are never orphaned: lose the session or move machine and the bot rebuilds its trailing stops and time exits from the broker's record.


IT FINDS YOUR BROKER'S SYMBOLS. "US Tech 100", "NAS100", "USTEC", "EU Stocks 50", "#Germany40"... the mapping was built from the symbol lists of about 60 brokers and prop firms, and it refuses the look-alike contracts it knows about (Brent for WTI, London for New York cocoa, forwards for cash). If a market is missing at your broker the log SAYS SO, and one line in the Symbol overrides parameter fixes it.


YOUR BOT, YOUR RULES - THE PANEL


102 parameters. Every strategy appears by name - "S01 - EUR/USD - Breakout" - and each one can be switched off, given its own risk, limited to longs or shorts, set to manage-only, or sized in fixed lots.


TRADING SCHEDULE, OFF BY DEFAULT. Choose when new trades may open - ready-made sessions or your own hours, in the clock you work in - switch weekdays off, or close everything before the weekend. Exits and open trades are never filtered.


PRESETS: Conservative, Balanced, Aggressive, Bull, Bear. Aggressive is the default and the one the figures above were measured with.


ONE THING TO KNOW: while a named preset is selected, the cBot re-applies it at every start. Choose Custom first if you want your own values to stick.


IF IT HOLDS UP


The paid edition is the same cBot with live and demo trading unlocked, $120 one-time ($15 per strategy; the price only rises with sales).


Paid edition: realbacktesting Olympus Zeus - search "realbacktesting Olympus Zeus" in the cTrader Store


Trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. Past performance and backtested results do not guarantee future results. This is trading software, not investment advice.


Summary

AI summary
realbacktesting Olympus Zeus Free is a cTrader cBot designed for backtesting the Olympus Zeus trading strategy. It replicates the full engine and all eight integrated strategies across six markets: EUR/USD, NZD/USD, DAX 40, GBP/USD, Gold, and EUR/JPY. The bot operates exclusively within cTrader’s Backtester and Optimizer, allowing users to reproduce published backtest results on their own machines using their broker’s tick data, spreads, and commissions.

Key features include a comprehensive configuration panel with 89 parameters, enabling customization of risk settings, strategy activation, trade direction, and position sizing. Preset modes such as Conservative, Balanced, Aggressive (default), Bull, and Bear are available. The bot incorporates risk controls like a 20% max drawdown guard that persists through restarts, a 5% daily loss limit, and mandatory stop losses on every position. It also automatically maps broker symbols from a broad database to ensure compatibility.

Backtest results for the period from September 1, 2025, to August 31, 2026, show a 37.30% return on a 10,000 EUR starting capital with a maximum equity drawdown of 7.42%, a profit factor of 1.59, and 328 trades with a 48.8% win rate. This free edition does not support live or demo trading; those features are available in the paid version.

October 12, 2026
access to historical portfolio testing has a clear use here. The 8 strategy mix spans forex, gold and DAX 40, leaving room to explore the components rather than only inspect a published return. Moving to real time trading requires the paid edition.
October 7, 2026
Eight strategies across forex, gold and DAX 40 offer a reasonable spread of material to research. The free edition allows the portfolio to be rerun and optimised. Real time execution belongs to the paid version, so this one is best judged as a historical testing tool.
October 5, 2026
At least the basket is spelled out rather than just called multi market. EURUSD, NZDUSD, GBPUSD and EURJPY sit beside gold and DAX 40. This free edition is for examining that combination historically, not running its orders in real time.
October 1, 2026
free access to rerun and optimise 8 strategies across forex, gold and DAX 40 is a generous research offering, giving the portfolio more substance to explore than a published return figure alone.
