If TestAutoReduceCZ is set to blank or 0-1 then after the auto-optimization is finished it may have set AutoReduceCZ to false. Set TestAutoReduceCZ to 1 (true). For the EA the backtester is more accurate than the AutoOptimize function of the indicator; there is no meaning adding this feature to the EA.

The take profit and stop loss are hidden. Set VisibleTP and VisibleSL to a number greater than 1 so that brokers can’t see their real values.

The signals don’t repaint if EMA filter is disabled. Do you have any screenshots of repainting signals?

You can download an updated Rossbot version from the first post to solve this problem.

Rossbot is not an indicator and does not show past zones. If the most recent zone is valid it will show it.

You don’t have to see it on charts, just change the Rossbot settings.

Downlod the latest version and set QuickTakeProfit to 1, QuickTakeProfitType to SLMultiplier and ModifyTakeProfit to false. Thus you can have R:R of 1:1 for all your trades.

The trade management of the indicator is moderately accurate as it does not use M1 data. It also only uses bid prices whereas the EA uses bid or ask. These reasons should explain the different results. The indicator is mainly a visual and alerting aid, it can’t replace the EA and is not comparable to it.

Upload your backtest to myfxbook by adding a strategy. Then use only the profitable trading hours to optimize the settings. The image below shows a EURCAD backtest with default settings, notice that only certain trading hours are profitable.

This is a high risk strategy that will inevitably result in a sequence of lost trades and a margin call.

I don’t recommend any lot size increase to recover a loss. Try to optimize the settings and find which hours of the day have high percentage of profitable trades. Usually this occurs during the first hours of European and New York sessions.

There is no problem with your settings. Watch the “Experts” and “Journal” tabs for any error messages.

The QuickTP is the take profit of the first trade in a tradeset. If this first trade hits stop loss then the subsequent trades will have a different take profit that takes into account the loss of the previous trade. The dashboard may show this modified take profit but once a new tradeset starts the QuickTP is again used for its first trade.

Check if your broker has enabled trading with expert advisors and if you can backtest it succesfully. You can also try the same settings in a demo account of a different broker.
