Built to get you funded - and keep you funded. In a 20,000-path Monte-Carlo of the FTMO two-phase challenge on this system's real daily returns at real costs, 100% of paths reached funded: a median of about 9.1 months to funding (p25 7.2 / p75 11.5) and a modelled payout near EUR 870/month on an 80k account at an 80% split (EUR 1,739 on 160k; 83% of months positive). Modelled on 2021-2026 data, not a guarantee.

THE STRATEGY BOOK - 8 independent, low-correlation strategies across 5 markets, on timeframes from 1h to 6h. The book blends trend-following, breakout, momentum, volatility and statistical/mean-reversion method families so no single edge or market carries the result - the exact indicators and rules are proprietary and compiled into the cBot (never printed, never exposed in the log). Each sleeve carries its own label so you can DISABLE it or set a CUSTOM RISK on it individually (the Disabled-strategies and Risk-overrides parameters). The sleeves, with the market and timeframe each runs on:

PEGG-S01 - Ethereum - 4h

PEGG-S02 - Nasdaq 100 - 2h

PEGG-S03 - USD/JPY - 4h

PEGG-S04 - Ethereum - 4h

PEGG-S05 - DAX 40 - 4h

PEGG-S06 - Gold - 6h

PEGG-S07 - USD/JPY - 4h

PEGG-S08 - DAX 40 - 1h

VERIFIED BACKTEST (cTrader native, m1 bars, spread 0, real commission & swap), 23/03/2021 to 20/06/2026, additive sizing on an 80,000 EUR base:

ROI 118.9% (CAGR 16.1%/yr), net EUR 95,087, 2,285 trades, profit factor 1.62, win rate 44.9%, max equity drawdown 2.70% - inside its under 4% Monte-Carlo p95 band, confirmed on a 30% out-of-sample hold-out. Calmar 5.98.

RISK MANAGEMENT - WHAT THE BOT DOES TO PROTECT THE ACCOUNT (the real edge, not the entries):

- Every single position opens with an always-defined stop loss - no naked exposure, ever.

- Percent-risk sizing off a FIXED base (additive, no compounding) - risk per trade never balloons after a winning streak; it even de-risks toward the floor.

- Global open-risk cap (3.0% of the base): the summed money-at-risk across ALL open trades can't exceed it - a new entry is blocked if it would.

- Per-asset risk cap (2.25%): no single market can concentrate the book.

- Daily loss guard (3.0%): closes every position and halts for the day before the FTMO daily limit is reached.

- Daily entry lock (2.0%): stops opening NEW trades earlier than the hard stop, while letting open trades breathe.

- Max drawdown guard (6.0%): halts all trading at the total-loss ceiling - well inside FTMO's 10% static breach.

- Predictive margin guard (30%): blocks any entry that WOULD push margin over the cap - not just after the fact.

- FTMO-accurate daily reset at 00:00 CE(S)T: the daily reference is captured exactly how FTMO measures it (max of balance/equity).

- Watermark trailing + stepped breakeven: locks profit as a trade runs in your favour, re-evaluated every 30 minutes - not only on bar close.

- A wall-clock guard runs every second: a daily-loss or max-drawdown breach is acted on even with zero incoming ticks (weekend, gap or feed stall).

Prop-firm mode clamps every limit above to FTMO-safe bounds, so the rules cannot be broken even by changing a parameter. Every guard logs what it does, visibly, in the cBot log.

WHAT YOU CAN CONFIGURE (the cBot ships pre-calibrated; these are the knobs):

- Risk scale: one master multiplier over the whole book (shipped 0.3173).

- Sizing mode: Additive (fixed % of the base, default) or Compound. Initial balance base: 0 = your account balance, or pin it (e.g. 80000).

- All the guard thresholds are adjustable: daily-loss %, daily entry-lock %, max-drawdown %, global risk cap %, per-asset cap %, max margin %.

- Disabled strategies: switch off any sleeve by its label (e.g. PEGG-S03,PEGG-S07). Risk overrides: custom risk % per sleeve.

- Symbol overrides: remap any market to your broker's exact symbol. Optional equity protection (profit-lock), max new entries/day, news blackout windows.

- Entries from (UTC): the warm-up gate for an honest backtest (see below).

The anti-copy entry timing is built in and NOT user-editable (so no two accounts ever trade identically) - and it applies only live, never in the backtest.

HOW TO REPRODUCE THE BACKTEST (read this - warm-up matters):

1. cTrader Desktop -> Automate -> add an instance on any one m1 chart; the cBot loads all of its markets itself.

2. Make sure every market it trades exists on your broker (it auto-maps names; a missing one just means that sleeve won't trade).

3. Data: m1 bars (from server). Spread: 0. Commission + swap: ON. Initial deposit: 80,000 EUR.

4. Start the DATA early - 2021-01-01 or your broker's earliest - so the daily-trend filters warm up.

5. Set the parameter "Entries from (UTC)" = 2021-06-01. THIS is the key step: it warms the indicators on the pre-window data and only trades from the published start, so you land on the published figures (skip it and the early months read wrong).

6. Sizing: Additive. Run to completion. The included .cbotset preset already has these defaults.
