Otto
OttoAutomated Expert Advisor · MetaTrader 5

Diversified automated trading for MetaTrader 5.

Otto is a fully automated Expert Advisor that trades six independent strategies across stock indices, currency pairs and gold, so its performance does not depend on one market or one kind of condition. Every trade carries a fixed stop loss and is sized by the risk on the account, and it never uses grid, martingale or averaging.

Backtested by Karnek over 17 years. Forward tested live on demo accounts.

The live record

Live, in public.

The live record is the real one, real accounts, real money, every trade recorded on Karnek, read-only from the broker, as it happens. The connection is read-only for exactly that reason: a record we could edit would be worthless. It is young, only a few weeks in, but it is the number that actually counts, and it grows every day. An account only appears once it has enough history to be worth reading, and nothing is backfilled.

The backtest

Seventeen years, simulated.

Before going live, Otto was run over 17 years of history, on realistic spreads and costs, across its six core strategies. It is a simulation, not a live result, and it is labelled that way throughout. Treat it as the map, not the territory. The live record above is the territory.

The strategies

Two proven edges, four directional strategies.

Each strategy has its own market, timeframe and stop, chosen so a weak spell in one is cushioned by the others. We tell you which are edges and which are exposure, because most EAs won't.

01

Index Dip-Buy

Proven edgeIndicesH4

Buys sharp dips inside an established uptrend, and stands aside from genuine collapses.

02

FX Weekly Mean-Reversion

Proven edgeFX majorsW1

A pair stretched too far in a choppy week tends to snap back. The diversifier of the book.

03

Gold Range Breakout

DirectionalGoldD1

A clean break out of a quiet range often runs. Exposure to an uncorrelated market.

04

Gold Trend Breakout

DirectionalGoldD1

When gold is genuinely trending, it rides the trend instead of fading it.

05

DE40 Momentum

DirectionalDE40H1

Acts only on decisive, well-structured intraday momentum on the German index.

06

US Tech 100 Shock Breakout

DirectionalUS Tech 100H4

Waits for a coiled market, then acts on a break that arrives with a surge in volatility.

The line we won't cross

What Otto will never do.

Most blow-ups come from three tricks that keep an equity curve smooth right up until it breaks. Otto uses none of them.

No grid

It never stacks a ladder of orders in a losing direction and hopes the market comes back.

No martingale

It never increases size to recover a loss. Doubling down is how small losses take the whole account.

No averaging down

A losing trade is closed at its stop, not defended with more capital until it hurts.

Up and running

Risk system

The part most EAs skip.

How Otto sizes, de-risks and halts is as much the product as the strategies are. Every guard is on by default.

Sizing

Risk-parity on every trade

Each trade risks the same fraction of the account to its stop. Wide stop, fewer lots; tight stop, more lots. A hard ceiling caps any single trade.

Drawdown

An automatic de-risk ladder

Past a set drawdown, Otto halves its position size on every new trade, and returns to full size only once the account recovers.

Floor

A hard halt

Past a deeper drawdown, new entries stop. Existing positions run to their stops or targets, nothing is slammed shut at the worst moment.

Funded accounts

Prop mode

Tighter guards for funded-challenge rules, with soft stops that pause before a firm's limits. It reduces breach risk; it does not remove it.

Candour

Trust is built where it's uncomfortable.

Otto has losing months. We'd rather show you the worst one than pretend it doesn't exist, and answer the sceptical questions plainly.

Live · verified on Karnek

The worst month is published, not written here.

Drawdown, worst month and DD95 come straight from the live record on Karnek, where nobody can round them in our favour. A system that claims it never loses is the one to walk away from. See the live results →

Is this a scam?

Every trade is on Karnek, built by the same company but read-only from the broker, so you never take our word for it. Why Otto →

Will I make money?

We can't promise that, and anyone who does is lying. Otto has losing months; the live record shows them. Live results →

What exactly is the backtest?

Otto's own 17-year simulation, labelled as a backtest throughout. Karnek records the live trades, not this. Backtests →
