My robot

Can I test the robot I already have?

Oathra tests a robot's rules, not its file. It does not run .ex4 or .ex5 files. You enter the robot's entry and exit rules once, in the Strategy Studio or in Python. If you do not know its rules, Oathra still logs it robot by robot, without a verdict.

How do I know the test is of my robot and not a lookalike?

Import your robot's MetaTrader Strategy Tester report. Forge lines the two up trade by trade and shows where they differ.

Do I need to code?

No code is needed to start. You build a strategy from conditions you pick in the Strategy Studio, and Python is there when you want it.

I run three robots on one account. Can Oathra tell them apart?

Oathra tells robots apart by magic number. Each magic number is logged as its own robot.

Which robots can Oathra not judge?

Robots that open several positions as one basket, or close positions in pieces, read Can't judge. Oathra can still test their rules and log their trades.

I changed the rules in Forge. How does the change reach MetaTrader?

You make the same change in your own robot. Forge does not write the robot for you.

Export a tested strategy to MQL5: Coming soon. No dates promised.

Does tracking keep running when my PC is off?

MetaTrader has to be running, on your PC or on a VPS, for trades to reach Oathra. When it stops, tracking pauses and the strategy reads Account offline.

Does Oathra run my robot for me?

Your robot keeps running on your own platform. Oathra watches it.

Hosting a strategy on Oathra: Coming soon. No dates promised.

Is it MetaTrader only?

Oathra connects MetaTrader 4 and 5 accounts today, and more platforms are coming. Live tracking against the backtest works on MetaTrader 5 today. Forge also tests price history from other sources.

Can I track a robot that was never tested in Forge?

Logging each robot's trades is free. A robot is tracked when it is linked to a test of its rules. A reading needs a validated Forge test of its rules.

I have an idea and no robot yet. Can I use Oathra?

Oathra can test the idea: build it in the Strategy Studio with no code and test it. A strategy that survives still has to become a robot on your platform, and Oathra does not write that robot for you.

The test

Why trust this test more than MetaTrader's own tester?

MetaTrader 5 can hold back a forward period and test on real ticks, and it runs your actual robot. What it leaves to you is the judging. Forge counts how many settings you tried and marks the result down for it, checks the result across many splits of history, and gives one verdict.

Why trust this test more than MetaTrader's own tester?

Is my backtest overfitted, and how does Oathra tell?

Forge optimizes the settings on one part of history, then judges them on years it has never seen. It counts how many settings you tried and marks the result down for it.

Is my backtest overfitted, and how does Oathra tell?

What prices does the test use, and do I have to bring my own?

The test uses your broker's own price history, exported from MetaTrader and uploaded by you. Oathra ships no sample prices. Testing on your own price history needs storage, which the free plan does not include.

What does Validated mean? Is it a promise?

Validated is a verdict about the past. It held up on data it had never seen, and it passed the checks that it is not luck. It is not a promise about next month.

What does Killed mean?

Killed means the strategy failed one stage of the test, and the verdict names the stage. A killed result is not an error. It tells you which question the strategy could not answer.

What if Forge kills my strategy?

Then you learned it in a test and not on a live account. Its trades can still be logged. There is no test to hold it to until a version survives.

How many tests does 200 credits buy?

About 15 hours of testing, at the standard test size. Every test shows its credit cost before it starts.

Where do tests run? Can I close my laptop?

Tests run in Oathra's cloud, on the price history you uploaded. Start a test, close the laptop, come back to the result.

Can I export a strategy to MQL5?

Export a tested strategy to MQL5: Coming soon. No dates promised.

How long does a test take, and how much history does it need?

The length of a test depends on the length of the history and the number of settings. Every test shows its credit cost before it starts, and it runs in Oathra's cloud, so you can close the laptop.

Prop firms

If the test says it passed, will I pass my challenge?

A test that passes is not a promise that a prop firm challenge will pass. A passed rule check means the strategy stayed inside the rules on the data it was tested on.

My firm is not listed. Can I still check its rules?

Prop firm checks run on a filtered result.

Which firms' rules can I test against?

Prop firm checks run on a filtered result.

Which rules can a test not check?

A test cannot check news-time limits or copy-trading bans. It reads consistency, inactivity and weekend holding, and flags banned patterns such as hedging or a grid.

What if my firm changes its rules?

Rules change. Check your firm's current page before you rely on a preset.

Does my prop firm allow a third-party EA?

Oathra cannot answer for your firm. Some firms restrict automation, so check your firm's rules on third-party tools before you install the Oathra EA.

Can Guardian stop a breach on the live account?

No, it cannot stop a robot. Guardian warns on both plans. On the paid plan it can close positions when a limit is crossed: by default only the ones opened through Oathra, and a robot's own trades only if you allow it to close every open position on the account. The robot keeps running and can open new trades, and none of this is a promise that a limit holds.

Is Oathra affiliated with any prop firm?

Oathra is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any prop firm.

Which clock does the daily loss day use?

The check counts a day by the clock of the rules you picked. If your firm resets at another hour, the daily loss can fall on a different day. Confirm the reset time against your firm's own page.

Is the prop firm check on the free plan?

The prop firm check is on the paid plan: prop firm checks run on a filtered result, and filtering is on the paid plan.

Live tracking

How does it know my robot has stopped working, and how fast?

It asks one question of every closed trade: is this robot losing money for longer than chance explains? It shows your live numbers beside the backtest's, each with its margin of error. It says nothing until it has enough trades to judge. It does not tell you the cause. It shows what changed and what to check first.

How does it know my robot has stopped working, and how fast?

My robot earns less than its backtest but is not losing. Will I be told?

A robot that earns less than its backtest but still makes money gets no alarm. You see the gap between live and the backtest, and the call is yours. The alarm is for a robot that is losing.

Twenty trades prove nothing. Why trust the alarm?

20 trades and 14 days is when Oathra starts to speak, not when it alarms. It raises the alarm only on strong evidence: on a healthy strategy, about one false alarm in a hundred.

Why did my EA stop working after a good backtest?

Five causes are common: live costs wider than the test, a result that was luck, a market that changed, a different data feed, and slippage. Check your costs first.

Why is my EA worse live than in the backtest?

Why does it say Too early, or Can't judge?

Too early means there are not enough trades yet, and Oathra will tell you when there are. Can't judge means trades that close in pieces or do not add up, so Oathra gives no number.

Is this drawdown normal, or has the strategy broken?

A losing stretch the backtest also had is normal. Oathra asks one question of every closed trade: is this robot losing money for longer than chance explains?

Is this drawdown normal for my EA?

What should I do when it says Watching or Below breakeven?

Oathra does not tell you what to do. Only you can decide whether to stand the robot down. Check your costs first.

How is this different from Myfxbook plus the MetaTrader tester, or from QuantAnalyzer?

A tester shows the promise. A tracker shows the result. Oathra checks one against the other and tells you when to worry.

See how Oathra compares

Is this a journal?

The journal is one tool in Oathra. The centre is the test and the live tracking.

Where do the alerts arrive?

You are told when the alarm is raised. The alarm goes by email.

Safety and your data

Can Oathra place or close trades on my account?

The Oathra EA reports your account and trades. It acts only on your command, or on a Guardian close-out you switched on. Placing orders through Oathra needs the signed Oath. Oathra never asks for your broker password.

Do I have to give you my broker password?

Oathra never asks for your broker password.

What does the Oathra EA send, and what can it do?

Who can see my strategy and my results?

The Privacy page says what Oathra stores about you and your strategies, and who can see it.

Read the Privacy page

How do I delete my account and data?

Open Settings, then Danger zone, and select Delete my account. The Delete account page says what is erased, what is kept with you removed, and when.

Delete account

Can I get my data out?

Exporting your own data is on both plans.

Plans and money

Is there a free plan, and what is on it?

The free plan is $0: 1 account, your trades logged robot by robot, Guardian's warnings, 15 credits a month and 3 smart alerts. No card. A backtest spends credits on both plans. Logging your trades is free. The verdict and live tracking are paid.

A first test on your own price history needs storage, and the free plan includes none. Storage starts at 40 credits a month. Credit packs are coming soon.

What is the difference between free and paid?

Logging what happened is free. The verdict on it is paid.

What are credits?

A credit pays for tests, storage and the AI Coach. Monthly credits reset on the 1st and do not carry over. Credits you buy do not expire. Credit packs: Coming soon. Credit packs are not refundable.

Can I cancel, and what happens to my data?

Cancel in Billing. Exporting your own data is on both plans.

Do you offer refunds?

Credit packs are not refundable.

Read the refund policy

Do unused credits carry over, and do bought credits expire?

A credit pays for tests, storage and the AI Coach. Monthly credits reset on the 1st and do not carry over. Credits you buy do not expire.

What should I have ready before I start?

Have these ready: the PC or VPS your MetaTrader runs on, your robot's entry and exit rules, and a price history export from MetaTrader.

  1. Create your account
  2. Take the Oath and connect MetaTrader with the Oathra EA
  3. Enter or build your robot's rules in Forge and test them
  4. Link the live robot to its test
