Bot vs firm verdict
Pivot Point Day Trader cBot vs prop firms, which actually pass?
Classic floor-trader pivots applied to FX day trading, buy/sell at S1/R1, fade S2/R2, daily reset.
Verdict matrix
Firm-by-firm: passes, busts, or untested.
Strong trending weeks compound into trailing-DD breaches because each S1/R1 entry fades the trend. Published cTrader sample accounts show a 5%+ pull in 2 of every 6 months.
Static 10% DD absorbs trending-month losses. 10% target reachable in range-dominant months. Daily 5% loss limit is wider than the typical worst-day pull (~3-4%).
Pending relaunch.
Apex is futures (ES, NQ, CL); the cBot is FX-only on cTrader. Not a meaningful matchup as published.
The 1% daily-loss limit is incompatible with pivot-fade losing days that routinely produce 2-3% pulls in trending sessions.
Trailing 6% DD survives the typical worst-month pull. Target reachable in range months. No min-days requirement; consistency is the only soft factor, but bursty entry distribution makes the trader's discretion mandatory.
About Pivot Point Day Trader cBot
The strategy in plain English.
The Pivot Point Day Trader is a textbook implementation of floor-trader pivots: compute daily pivot, S1/S2 supports, R1/R2 resistances at session open, take long entries near supports and short entries near resistances with a hard end-of-day flat. Wins are small (~10-20 pips), losses are also small (~15-25 pips), and the strategy produces a smooth equity curve in trending-then-range alternation regimes. The catch is that strong trending months produce repeated losing days as price runs through S2/R2 without reverting, exactly the regimes where trailing-DD firms terminate accounts.
