Answers to smart questions
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How is Forex Bot different from most ineffective bots?
Forex Bot does not use martingale, grids or oversimplified indicators. It is based on over 13 years of testing in periods of intense volatility, including:
- 📚 Post-news pattern engine (not indicator-based)
- 🧪 Stress-tested from 2008 to 2024 (including Black Monday)
- 📡 Live verified performance via Darwinex, Myfxbook, ZuluTrade
- 🧠 Multiple versions for different risk profiles (v13.10 to v13.14)
How can I be sure that the backtest is not over-curve-fitted?
🧪 The same EA code is used in both backtesting and live trading — no year-by-year optimization or pair-by-pair adjustments. Live performance aligns with historical simulations within reasonable deviation.
⚠️ Always verify via third-party platforms before making any decisions.
Are the results based on live accounts or demo?
✅ All results are from real-money accounts ⚠️ No demo results are used in any official performance reports except in simulations.
Is the strategy overly leveraged or risky?
Each version has predefined limits for drawdown and margin usage:
- 🔺 v13.10: High risk/return (~50% DD, ~80% CAGR)
- 🟢 v13.13: Moderate (~15% DD, ~15% CAGR)
⚠️ Leverage is adapted to the limits of each platform (e.g. 1:30 on Darwinex, 1:500 offshore). Risk remains controlled.
How does the system handle market crashes?
📉 ForexBot remained operational and profitable during:
- 2008 Financial Crisis
- Eurozone Debt Crisis
- COVID Crash in 2020
- Black Monday 2024 (+121% monthly return)
It only trades after volatility from news events has settled — never during periods of extreme uncertainty.

- 📉 Portfolio-level VaR limits
- 📛 Internal deactivation during high-risk periods
No martingale or position doubling is used. Every entry must meet strict statistical criteria based on macroeconomic events. If there is no clear edge, the bot stays inactive. ⚠️ Risk is managed at the portfolio level — not per trade.
How transparent is ForexBot?
All live results are publicly available through:
- ✅ Myfxbook (full trade history)
- ✅ Darwinex (FCA-regulated DARWIN asset)
- ✅ SignalStart (verified signal copying)
📄 A full PDF strategy document is available upon request.
⚠️ We do not manage investor funds.
Are there protections against slippage, price gaps, or execution delays?
All trades are executed after economic announcements. SL/TP logic is adjusted to volatility. The system has been tested under:
- ⏱️ ECN/STP brokers
- ⚠️ Execution delays up to 400ms
- 📉 Spread widening scenarios
⚠️ Slippage is real and expected — but has been structurally mitigated.
What is the business model behind ForexBot?
We do not manage investor funds directly. ForexBot is offered exclusively through compatible, regulated third-party platforms:

⚠️ ForexBot is not a financial product, nor is it offered as an investment service under MiFID II / ESMA regulations. It represents an automated strategy, available for tracking or copying, entirely at the user's own discretion.
