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.

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).
