Pass your prop-firm challenge on the cross pairs, inside the rules it actually enforces.

Yes. Every report is the actual MetaTrader Strategy Tester output for a $100,000 account trading AUDCAD and NZDCAD. Five of the six firms were run on their own server with its real spread and commission. Funded Trading Plus does not expose a tester server, so its runs are on a proxy feed with the firm's commission modelled, and they are labelled as such. All 48 ship in your download, so you can open the same files and read every trade in them. They are backtests on past data, not a promise of future results.

Because every flagship preset was run three times with no setting changed: a trending 2026 market, the flat second half of 2025, and a worst-case start on 1 January 2025 running through August 2026, and all three runs are on this page. A curve-fitted system passes one window and falls apart in the others. These reached target in the trending and worst-case windows on every firm, and in the six flat months of 2025 only FTMO reached target and the other five finished positive but short. That is what an honest result looks like, and it is why this page is blunt about speed.

No backtest does, and you should assume live is somewhat worse. A tester run has no entry slippage, no requotes and a connection that never drops. That gap is part of why the challenge presets run at 0.75 to 1.5 percent risk, below each firm's measured ceiling, and why the funded presets are the most conservative in the pack. Run it on a demo of your firm's server before the real challenge.

No, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something. The market decides. In testing, the six flagship phase-1 programs reached target in 23 to 82 days when the crosses trended, in 50 to 447 days from a worst-case January 2025 start, and in the six flat months of 2025 only FTMO reached target and the other five finished positive but short. No EA can guarantee a funded account.

FTMO, Blueberry, The5ers, Funded Trading Plus and Eightcap allow EAs on MetaTrader at no extra charge. FundedNext allows them but sells a paid EA add-on on top of the challenge, and does not permit EAs on its Free Trial or Competition accounts. Firms revise these terms, so confirm on your dashboard before you buy the challenge.

No. The engine holds one position per pair with a hard broker stop-loss on every ticket, and never adds to a losing trade. Every edition ships with its grid module switched off, and on the firms that ban grids the EA refuses to start if it is switched on. FTMO permits grids, so that edition includes a clearly labelled optional grid preset set you never have to use.

It should not. The engine trades the 5-minute chart and holds positions for hours: across the reports on this page the average hold runs from 1h 06m to 9h 40m. Of the 1917 position closes in all 48 reports, 15 were inside a minute, about one percent, against the half-of-all-trades threshold Blueberry uses to flag hyperactive trading. Trade counts are in the dozens across a whole challenge, nowhere near any daily trade or message limit.

That depends on what your firm requires, and each preset already matches its program. Where the firm restricts news on that account type, the preset ships with the news filter on and blocks a window either side of high-impact releases. Where there is no news rule during the challenge, it ships off so you are not sitting out tradeable sessions for nothing.

Technically yes, on separate terminals with each firm's own edition. Before you do, check your firm's position on running identical strategies across multiple accounts and on copy trading between them. Several firms restrict it. That is a rule about your accounts rather than about this EA, so it is worth reading before you scale up.

Treat it as required rather than optional. The EA places a hard stop on every trade and manages it as the market moves, so it has to stay connected. A home computer that sleeps, restarts for an update or drops its connection cannot manage an open position.

Open your firm's folder, pick the folder for the program you bought, and load the file that matches your account size. A START-HERE text file in every edition names the exact file for each program and size, and the PDF manual walks through it. Risk, the daily-loss basis, the reset clock and the max-loss floor are already set for that program.

Load the nearest size below yours. Risk is set as a percentage of the account, so a preset built for 50k behaves correctly on a 60k account and simply runs a little conservative. Sizes cover 5k to 200k on every firm, with the FTMO MT4 set starting at 10k.

Each edition is built for the symbols that firm actually uses, so the Blueberry and Eightcap editions expect AUDCAD.i and NZDCAD.i and the others expect AUDCAD and NZDCAD. Attach the EA to whichever AUDCAD chart your terminal shows and set it to the M5 timeframe; on MT5 it trades NZDCAD from that same chart. If your firm renames a symbol, email support and I will tell you the one setting to change.

No. Loading a preset sets every input. The manual explains what each one does if you want to know, but nothing needs changing, and editing the guard settings is the quickest way to break compliance with your firm's rules.

Because a quiet cross pair is where this engine holds its drawdown. The two crosses move a fraction of what gold does, which is exactly why the worst balance drawdown across all 48 reports stayed at 7.52 percent against firm limits of 4 to 10. The price of that is speed: when the pairs go flat, so does the equity curve, and the flat-market column above shows it. If you want a gold EA, this is not it.

MT5 editions for all six firms, plus MT4 for FundedNext, FTMO and Blueberry. The5ers, Funded Trading Plus and Eightcap no longer offer MT4 on prop accounts, so those are MT5 only. The MT5 editions trade AUDCAD and NZDCAD from one chart; the MT4 editions trade AUDCAD only, because NZDCAD was tested on the MT4 feed and rejected. MT4 and MT5 presets are separate files because the two platforms store timeframes differently.

Switch to the FUNDED preset for that firm, which every edition includes. Those run at lower risk, 0.25 to 0.75 percent, because on a funded account the job changes from hitting a target to not losing the account. Where a firm restricts news or weekend holding on funded accounts, the funded presets turn those filters on for you.

A few tiers with a trailing drawdown, a short deadline or a thin ceiling reached target in the trending window and drew down in the flat one. They are labelled trend-only in the preset folders and the guide steers you to the all-weather tiers unless a trend is already under way. Blueberry Rapid has a 7-day limit that no measured run reached, so its MT5 preset folder is marked not recommended and the MT4 edition has no Rapid preset at all. Eightcap in the flat window made 0.3 percent in six months. None of that is hidden.

It happens, and it is the reason this is six separate editions rather than one EA with a dropdown. When a firm changes a daily-loss basis, a reset time or a drawdown rule, the affected edition is rebuilt and the new build goes onto the same download page you were given, at no extra charge.

No. The download holds compiled EAs, the presets, the manuals and the tester reports. If you need source for a custom build, that is a separate conversation.

Because this is an instant digital download of compiled software, it is sold as final. That is precisely why 48 full tester reports are on this page instead of a highlight reel. If you are unsure which edition fits your account, email [email protected] before you buy and I will tell you honestly, including if the answer is that it is not a match.
