FAQ
Ask thehard questions.
Honest answers to the questions skeptics should ask — about losses, guarantees, security, brokers, and what happens when things go wrong. If an answer here ever feels like marketing, call us on it.
- Losses shownA real share of trades lose under the tracked configuration — we say so here and on the performance page.
- One key, one PCDevice-locked licensing, explained plainly — not copy trading.
- No guaranteesWe do not promise profits or challenge passes — and we explain why.
An XAUUSD trading bot is software that automatically opens and manages trades on gold (symbol XAUUSD) inside a platform such as MetaTrader 5, following a fixed rule set instead of manual clicks. RSForex Bot is one example: it runs inside your own MT5 terminal, trades gold only, and applies built-in per-trade, daily-loss and drawdown limits. It is software access, not financial advice, and trading involves risk.
A gold EA (Expert Advisor) is a MetaTrader program that automates a gold-trading strategy — placing, sizing and closing XAUUSD trades according to coded rules. RSForex Bot installs as a compiled executor on the XAUUSD chart in your own MT5 and runs its gold strategy with compiled-in risk controls. No EA can guarantee profits; trading involves risk.
Yes — FTMO permits Expert Advisors and automated trading on its MT5 challenge and funded accounts, subject to its own current rules on prohibited practices (which can change and which you must verify yourself). RSForex Bot runs on FTMO MT5 in a prop mode that treats the daily-loss limit and maximum drawdown as hard constraints and stops new entries before those lines. No software can guarantee you pass an FTMO challenge.
Not guaranteed — automated gold trading can win or lose. Gold (XAUUSD) is volatile, a meaningful share of trades lose, and losing streaks happen. RSForex Bot caps per-trade loss and limits daily loss and drawdown, but no automation removes market risk, and past performance does not guarantee future results.
Yes. Trading gold carries real risk and a meaningful share of trades lose under the tracked configuration. Losses are capped per trade and guarded by daily-loss and drawdown limits, but no automation removes market risk. Never trade money you cannot afford to lose.
No. Any win rate is a figure tracked under the active configuration over a stated period — never a promise. Market conditions change, and past performance does not guarantee future results. Performance records are published only after independent verification, with a clear methodology, the date range covered, and full risk context — losses included.
No. Every trade is placed locally inside your MT5 terminal, not routed through a cloud order server, so open positions keep running through brief platform outages. A new entry still needs a fresh decision from the platform, so new entries pause while it is briefly unreachable. The account-aware engine delivers your configuration; the platform handles license validation, updates, and safety controls. Local safety caps apply on every trade.
So the trade is placed and managed directly in your own account, under your control, with the risk limits enforced right at the terminal. The RSForex platform computes each XAUUSD decision from your account’s live data and the executor in your MT5 carries it out — so a new entry is confirmed with the platform and pauses if it is briefly unreachable, while any open position stays protected by the stop-loss and take-profit already attached to it.
A license to run RSForex Bot. RSForex Bot is licensed software: the RSForex platform computes each XAUUSD/gold trade decision, and when enabled by the user the executor inside the user’s own MetaTrader 5 account places and manages the resulting order using the settings the user selected. It installs inside MetaTrader 5 on your own PC and works on your own account at a compatible broker or prop firm (FTMO and OANDA are the tested examples). You are buying software access, not a managed fund, and not someone else’s signal feed to copy. You keep full control of your account and can stop the bot anytime. Trading involves risk. RSForex Bot does not guarantee profits, account growth, or prop-firm outcomes. Users remain responsible for their own broker, prop-firm, account settings, and trading decisions. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
No. Trading involves risk. RSForex Bot does not guarantee profits, account growth, or prop-firm outcomes. Users remain responsible for their own broker, prop-firm, account settings, and trading decisions. Past performance does not guarantee future results. A meaningful share of trades lose under the tracked configuration, losing streaks happen, and you can lose money. Anyone promising otherwise is misleading you.
No. RSForex Bot is software access only. It does not provide personalized financial advice, and nothing on this site is a recommendation tailored to your situation. Whether automated gold trading fits your finances and risk tolerance is your decision — ideally made with a qualified professional.
No. Copy trading mirrors another person’s trades over the internet. RSForex Bot is different: the RSForex platform computes each XAUUSD decision from your own account’s live data, and the executor inside your own MT5 places and manages the trade under built-in safety caps. Nothing is mirrored from another trader’s account.
Your plan sets it: Starter runs on 1 PC, Pro on up to 2, and Elite on up to 3 — one license that activates on that many machines, with one MT5 account per PC. Each activation locks to its machine and MT5 account and can’t be shared or copied. Moving to a new PC is easy: reset the binding in your dashboard and re-activate on the new computer.
The bot stops opening new trades but keeps protecting open positions — stops stay managed until each trade closes safely. Nothing is abandoned mid-trade. Renewing reactivates trading.
Each new entry is confirmed with the RSForex platform, so if the platform is briefly unreachable the bot pauses opening new trades. Any open position stays protected by the stop-loss and take-profit already attached to it at your broker; active management resumes automatically once the connection returns. Your license keeps a grace window, so a short outage does not end your access.
Yes. FTMO MT5 accounts are supported at launch with a prop mode: daily-loss awareness, max-drawdown awareness, max trades per day, and conservative sizing. See the FTMO page for the full checklist.
No — no software can guarantee a challenge pass, and anyone claiming otherwise is misleading you. RSForex Bot enforces FTMO-style risk discipline, but you are responsible for verifying your own prop-firm rules and the outcome depends on markets.
No. RSForex Bot is an independent software product and is not owned, operated, endorsed, or guaranteed by FTMO, OANDA, MetaQuotes, MetaTrader, or any broker or prop firm. All trademarks belong to their respective owners. The bot runs on any compatible MetaTrader 5 broker or prop firm (FTMO and OANDA are tested examples), but those companies have no involvement in this product.
Yes. OANDA MT5 accounts are supported at launch in retail mode. Setup validates the gold symbol, spread, lot sizing and stop levels on your specific account before live trading is allowed.
The bot is built to run on any MetaTrader 5 broker or prop firm that offers a standard XAUUSD (gold) instrument, and the executor validates that instrument on your account before it places a single trade. FTMO and OANDA are the providers we have tested and tuned for; other compatible brokers work under the same gold-instrument requirement. If your broker does not offer a standard XAUUSD, the bot will not trade rather than run on unvalidated conditions.
No. Your broker or prop-firm password is never entered on this website and is never sent to us. You log into MetaTrader 5 on your own computer with your own credentials, and they stay there. The platform records your MT5 account number and broker server for license binding and validation — not your password.
The design goal is to make copying commercially worthless, not to claim it is impossible. No source code ships — only a compiled executor. Strategy settings are delivered through encrypted configuration that refreshes regularly and only works on your registered device.
No. You install MetaTrader 5, drop in the compiled executor, paste your license key, and the setup checklist plus compatibility check walk you through the rest.
Anytime, from the billing page. Your license stays active until the end of the paid period. No lock-in, no cancellation fee.
No. Trading losses are not refundable — they are market risk, and you accept that risk when you trade. Refunds are considered for verified software-access failures, as described in the refund policy. Separately, you can cancel your subscription anytime before renewal, and every plan starts with a 30-day free trial so you can evaluate before you are charged.
Five listed sizes — $10K, $25K, $50K, $100K, $200K — plus any custom amount. You pick your size at signup and the bot’s sizing is account-size aware: lot sizing, daily-loss limits, and drawdown warnings scale to the size you registered. The compatibility check then validates lot sizing against your actual balance before live trading.
Market risk, as with all trading: losing trades, losing streaks, drawdown, slippage and gaps. RSForex Bot caps per-trade loss, limits daily loss and total drawdown, and halts on abnormal spreads — but it cannot remove market risk. You can lose capital.
Yes — we strongly recommend it. Run RSForex Bot on an FTMO free trial or an OANDA demo account first, with virtual funds, so you can watch the full install, validation, and trading flow before any real money is involved. Move to a live or funded account only after you have seen how the bot behaves and are comfortable with the risk.
No. RSForex Bot trades XAUUSD (gold) only. The strategy, risk limits, and account validation are all built and tested for gold specifically — it will not silently trade other symbols, and setup verifies the gold symbol on your exact account before live trading.
No. RSForex Bot does not hold customer funds and does not manage customer money. Your account stays in your name at your own broker or prop firm, you keep full control of it, and the bot is software running inside your own MT5 terminal. You can stop it or close trades yourself at any time.
No. RSForex Bot does not accept deposits, hold customer funds, custody assets, or withdraw money from customer trading accounts. Customers trade through their own broker or prop-firm MT5 account. The only thing you buy from us is a software license. Anyone asking you to send trading capital to RSForex Bot is not us.
The bot detects your registered account type — FTMO Free Trial, Challenge, Verification, Funded, or Swing, and OANDA demo or live — plus your account size, and adapts sizing and risk to match: lot sizing scales to your balance, and the daily-loss and drawdown guards use the limits appropriate to that account type. A $10K challenge and a $200K funded account are never traded with the same settings.
Every plan starts with a 30-day free trial. Your card is collected at signup but is not charged during the trial — the first charge happens at the plan’s monthly price when the 30 days end, and only if you have not cancelled. After that it renews monthly until you cancel. There is one free trial per account: if you have subscribed before, re-subscribing starts billing immediately rather than granting another 30 free days. Trading involves risk.
It can, and that is not a fault. The strategy is selective and stands completely aside around high-impact news, so a quiet stretch with few or no entries is possible by design. Billing is purely time-based: the trial runs 30 calendar days no matter how many trades happen, and it is not paused or extended for a slow market. If you want more time to watch it work, run it on an FTMO free trial or an OANDA demo account first, and cancel before renewal if you are not ready to continue. Trading involves risk.
The offer published on this site is the 30-day free trial on every plan, billed monthly after that, one trial per account. If a limited-time launch promotion is ever run, its exact terms are shown at checkout before you pay — no hidden auto-charges and no fake countdown timers. We would rather state real terms plainly than manufacture scarcity, so treat any “act now” pressure you see elsewhere with caution.
A failed renewal does not cut you off mid-period: your license stays usable until the end of the period you have already paid for while the card retries, and your dashboard prompts you to update payment. If the subscription fully lapses, The bot stops opening new trades but keeps protecting open positions — stops stay managed until each trade closes safely. Nothing is abandoned mid-trade. Renewing reactivates trading.
Not yet. A public, third-party-verified track record — for example a Myfxbook or an equivalent independent verifier — is Planned, not live today. Until it exists, no performance figures are published on this site.
No. Any win-rate or return figure that has circulated is an internal, in-sample measurement — Not yet independently verified — and past performance does not guarantee future results. That is exactly why no win rate, profit figure, or return percentage appears anywhere on this site. Results have been tracked internally across a small number of XAUUSD accounts, but that data is self-reported and unverified, and it is held back until it can be published in a counsel-approved, compliant format with a clear methodology, the date range covered, and full risk context — losses included. We would rather show nothing than show an unverified number.
Focus is the point. The strategy, the risk math, and the account checks are all built and tuned for one instrument — the standard 100-ounce US-dollar gold contract — and the executor refuses to run on anything that is not that exact instrument rather than approximate it. Spreading the same logic across many symbols would mean none of them are properly tested. This is not a claim that gold is safer: gold is volatile, a meaningful share of trades lose, and you can lose money. It is a deliberate choice to do one market carefully.
The full entry logic is proprietary and runs compiled on the server so it can’t be copied, but the principles are simple. It trades one position at a time with a predefined stop, and never uses martingale, grid, or revenge trading. It is session-aware: gold trades differently in the thin Asian range, the busy London/New-York overlap, and the news-heavy US session, so the strategy decides per session whether to participate. It leans toward fading overextensions — selling into the top of the day’s range only after price rejects there — rather than chasing highs. None of this guarantees a profit.
Yes — it can go a day, or several, with no trade, and that is by design. It waits for its conditions, caps the number of trades per day, and stands completely aside around high-impact news; if the economic-news feed is unavailable it also stands aside as a fail-safe rather than trade blind. Being selective is deliberate: missing a setup never blows an account, but forcing trades can. If you are looking for constant activity, that is not what this bot is built to do.
No. Every new entry needs a fresh, authenticated decision from the platform, so if the server is briefly unreachable the executor opens nothing new — it does not guess, free-run, or fall back to a local strategy. Any position already open keeps the stop-loss and take-profit attached to it at your broker, and those live on your broker’s servers, independent of ours. A short outage does not end your license either; there is a grace window before access pauses.
Yes. Every request to the platform travels over an encrypted HTTPS (TLS) connection and is authenticated by your license key, which the server checks against a stored hash. The request must also come from the specific device your license is bound to — a wrong or unbound device is rejected. The strategy configuration is delivered as a package that is cryptographically signed and encrypted for your device alone, with a short expiry, so it cannot be reused on another machine.
No. The platform only sends trade decisions and configuration to the executor inside your own MT5 — it has no ability to move, deposit, or withdraw funds. RSForex Bot does not accept deposits, hold customer funds, custody assets, or withdraw money from customer trading accounts. Customers trade through their own broker or prop-firm MT5 account. Your money stays in your own account in your own name, and you can stop the bot or close trades yourself at any time.
What must keep running is MetaTrader 5 with the executor attached — that is what actually places and manages trades. The desktop app is your control panel (log in, activate the license, flip the bot on or off, watch status) and it also acts as a connection helper: if you have not allowed the platform address in MT5’s WebRequest settings, the app relays the connection for you and should stay running in the background; if MT5 can reach the platform directly, the app is not required for trading. Closing the app never opens a trade and never force-closes one — open positions keep their broker-side stop-loss and take-profit — and the on/off choice you set is remembered across restarts.
Only if you turn that on. “Start with Windows” is opt-in and off by default: nothing is added to your startup until you enable it from the app’s tray menu, and it installs for your Windows user only, with no admin prompt. Even with it enabled, that just launches the app — the bot still trades only when MT5 is running with the executor attached, your license is valid, and the on/off switch is on.
It never sees your broker password — you log into MetaTrader 5 yourself on your own PC, and the app has no field for it. What is sent to the platform is what is needed to license and run the bot: your license key, a hashed device fingerprint (raw hardware identifiers are hashed before they ever leave your PC), your MT5 account number and broker/server name, and market snapshots — prices, your balance and equity, and any open gold positions — used to compute each decision. Closed-trade results (profit or loss, win or lose) are reported so your dashboard can show them. On your PC the app stores only your email and your license key, and the key is encrypted with Windows DPAPI so only your Windows account on that machine can read it.
The app installs for your Windows user only, so you remove it like any app, from Windows Settings → Apps → Installed apps, with no admin rights needed. Turning off “Start with Windows” (or uninstalling) removes its startup entry. The MetaTrader 5 executor is separate: remove it by detaching the Expert Advisor from the chart in MT5 and deleting the file. None of this touches your broker account or your trades — those live at your broker, not in the app. Local app data is kept under your Windows user profile.
RSForex Bot does not accept deposits, hold customer funds, custody assets, or withdraw money from customer trading accounts. Customers trade through their own broker or prop-firm MT5 account.
