hi Magnus,
i am so happy with the maya gold Grid, that i thought this would be nice too, but again im am getting not the results you posted. in the maya bot you posted what was the setting. did you post it for this one, too? i cant find anything. thanks in advance.
for instance i tried to opitmize with the settings you postet in another comment, but i only get very few trades in 2 year backtest. and everytime there is a high drawdown - MIn reply tosystem⬆:mvajdi
Hi there,
I am interested in this bot and the Inca Gold, wondering if you have tried them on real accounts and you can share the myfxbook link for each bot with a 3 month or more trade history.
Thank you.

Hey, good question.
I don’t run public Myfxbook accounts - results depend a lot on broker and settings, so I prefer backtesting + optimization on your side.
Quick breakdown:
Maya / Inca - grid systems
more trades, smoother in ranges
– can struggle in strong trends / spikesLisa - breakout
0–2 trades/day, controlled risk
– can sit idle and depends on clean movesSo it’s really about your style:
grid = more action / more risk,
breakout = slower but cleanerHi, Thank you for getting back to me. I tried the trial version but it stops itself after a few minutes!, Any reason for that?
Thanks

The trial version is only for backtesting and optimization.
To run bot on demo or live account you need full paid version

Hi,
Just purchased, have run 3 backtests on default ant the different sessions all coming up losing, do you have some presets for optimisation that can make this profitable?
- MMagnus_Blackstone
Default settings can look great - but usually only on the broker conditions and the historical period they were tuned on.
To get the best results on your broker and a period close to current market conditions, you’ll want to run cTrader Optimization.Here’s the clean way to do it:
Keep as constants (don’t optimize):
Volume Mode / Risk settings (use your preferred risk, keep it stable)
Order Expiry / Cancel After / Cancel Opposite on Fill
Trailing / Partial Close (either ON with your preferred values, or OFF—optimize later only after you have a solid core)
Session Time Base / Custom Offset (only set correctly for your session/broker time)Optimize these (core profitability drivers):
Session Preset: test Tokyo / London / NewYork / Overlap (run separate optimizations per preset, or include it as a discrete variable if you prefer).
Min Range (pips): 10 → 30, step 2
Max Range (pips): 30 → 70, step 5 (ensure MaxRange > MinRange)
Entry Offset (pips): 1 → 6, step 1
Max Spread (pips): 1.0 → 3.0, step 0.5
SL Mode / SL Value:
If FixedPips: SL 80 → 260, step 20
if Box: keep SL mode fixed and optimize TP (below)TP Mode / TP Value:
If RR: TP (RR) 0.8 → 2.0, step 0.1
If FixedPips: TP 20 → 120, step 10
If BoxMultiple: TP multiple 0.5 → 2.0, step 0.1Practical tip: optimize the core entry + SL/TP first with trailing/partial OFF, pick the most stable set across multiple date ranges, then (optionally) re-enable trailing/partial and tune them lightly.

I bought your Bot and after optimisation, I get really good results. I love it !! Could it be possible to get a version that allows taking position size in terms of % of the equity instead of fixed lots?
- MMagnus_Blackstone
Thanks for the suggestion.
I’ll do my best to add this feature, and once it’s been properly tested, I’ll push a new version to the store.

Which market conditions does this bot perform best in (trend, range, high volatility)?
- MMagnus_Blackstone
Best results come right after a clean session box breaks and price trends away - i.e., momentum after consolidation.
For EURUSD, the “ideal zone” is a session box of ~15–30 pips (ideally 18–25) with a tight spread at order placement (≤1.2–1.6 pips on RAW/ECN, ≤2.0 - 2.5 pips on Standard) and a modest Entry Offset (≈2 - 4 pips RAW / 3-6 pips Standard).
The most reliable windows are Tokyo box → first hours of London and early NY, when follow-through is common.
Performance degrades in choppy, mean-reverting ranges around the box edges and during news spikes when spreads widen and slippage jumps
