Description
realbacktesting Guardian FTMO Swing Free - the FREE, backtest-only edition of Guardian. Reproduce +115.9% over 5 years across 5 markets in your OWN cTrader before you pay a cent. NO grid. NO martingale. REAL INSTITUTIONAL EDGE - ENGINEERED FOR PROP FIRMS (FTMO Swing).
It runs the FULL strategy - the same engine, the same 8 strategies, the same signals as the paid edition - inside cTrader's Backtester and Optimizer. By design it CANNOT place a live or demo trade: on a real-time (live or demo) account it prints a notice and stops itself. Backtesting and optimization only.

WHAT YOU CAN DO (and what you cannot)
================================================
CAN: backtest it on cTrader m1 data with your broker's real spread + commission; run the Optimizer; redraw the exact published equity curve.
CANNOT: trade it live or on demo. That is the full edition - this one is backtesting only, by design.
================================================
WHY IT IS REAL
================================================
8 distinct, REAL strategies - each a tested statistical edge, walk-forward and out-of-sample validated. No grid, no martingale, no averaging into losers, no hidden risk multiplier waiting to blow the account. And it is NOT a fantasy backtest: every figure above is the cBot's OWN cTrader-native run (m1 bars, real commission + swap) that YOU reproduce on your broker's costs. Proof over promises.
================================================
GET THE LIVE EDITION
================================================
When the numbers hold up on your screen, the full Guardian (from $160, one-time) trades it live: same book, same 8 strategies, per-strategy configuration and the full money-management layer.
NO SALES. NO DISCOUNTS. The per-strategy price only RISES with sales (+$5 every 5 sales, ceiling $75/strategy) - the earliest buyers lock in the lowest price.

Résumé
Key performance metrics reproducible on your own broker data (m1 bars, zero spread, real commissions and swaps) from June 2021 to June 2026 include a 118.9% ROI, maximum equity drawdown under 3%, and a profit factor of 1.62 over 2,285 trades. The bot features comprehensive risk management aligned with FTMO prop firm rules, including fixed percent risk sizing, stop losses on every trade, global and per-asset risk caps, daily loss limits, max drawdown guards, margin usage controls, and real-time protective guards running every second.
Users can enable or disable individual strategies and adjust risk per strategy. The bot requires an initial deposit of 80,000 EUR for backtesting and supports additive sizing without compounding. It includes a warm-up period for indicator accuracy and logs all risk management actions visibly. This free edition serves as a try-before-you-buy tool; a separate live-trading version is available for FTMO Swing accounts.
