Description
realbacktesting Balanced FTMO Swing Free - the FREE, backtest-only edition of Balanced. Reproduce +233.9% over 5 years across 6 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 12 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
================================================
12 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 Balanced (from $240, one-time) trades it live: same book, same 12 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.
For the full strategy breakdown and every cTrader-native metric, see our cTrader profile and our website - search "realbacktesting".
Summary
This edition does not execute live or demo trades; it halts trading when attached to real-time charts. Users can reproduce published performance metrics on their own broker data, including an ROI of 193.7%, maximum equity drawdown under 7%, and a profit factor of 1.70 over 3,001 trades from June 2021 to June 2026. Risk management features include fixed percent-risk sizing, stop losses on every trade, global and per-asset risk caps, daily loss and entry limits, max drawdown guard, predictive margin guard, and FTMO-accurate daily resets. The bot also employs watermark trailing and stepped breakeven to lock profits.
The product supports FTMO-style prop firm risk constraints and logs all risk guard actions. It requires minute-level data and specific warm-up settings for accurate backtest reproduction. The full live-trading version is available separately.
