How to Choose a cBot from the Store

The store lists hundreds of cBots, and headline returns are the worst way to compare them. Start with the verified badge: it means the developer's live account is connected and the numbers on the page are real.

Look at the ratio of drawdown to return. A strategy that made 40% with a 12% drawdown is more robust than one that made 80% with a 45% drawdown — and far more likely to survive future market regimes.

Read the description carefully. A serious developer publishes the exact instruments, timeframes and market conditions the bot is built for. If a bot claims to work on every symbol and every session, be sceptical.

Always run new purchases on demo first. Every cBot ships with a one-click demo deployment so you can watch fills, spread handling and behaviour around news events before committing capital.
