Frequently asked questions.
If something isn't covered here, ask on Telegram; the best question is the one you ask before you decide. Ask on Telegram (opens in a new tab)
Where is my money kept? Do you have access to my account?
Your money stays in a broker account opened in your own name. You don't send your money to us; we don't access your account and we don't ask for your password. You can stop the bot anytime with the “Algo Trading” button in MT5.
How much does it cost?
Current pricing and license details are on TULPAR BOT's Telegram (opens in a new tab). Tell us what you'd like to know and we'll go over it together.
Does TULPAR BOT always make money?
No. There will be losing trades, even losing weeks. Every trade has a stop loss; a stop loss limits the loss but doesn't eliminate it. That's why we show the trades along with their losses.
How much does it make per month?
No one can give you an exact figure; if someone does, be cautious. Results vary with the market, your risk setting and your balance; there can be losing months too. You can see what happened in the past in the backtest and live account sections, drawdowns included.
What happens if I stop the bot or the VPS connection drops?
No new trades are opened. If a trade is open at that moment, it stays open with its stop loss; profit protection and exit management stop, and you manage it from there. That's why we recommend checking your account regularly.
Where does the bot run? Does it work on a phone?
It runs in MT5 on a Windows computer or on a VPS. The MT5 phone app is for monitoring. If you use a Mac, a VPS is the smoothest option.
Is setup difficult?
All it takes is attaching the bot to a chart, loading the preset file and choosing your risk. If you're setting up MT5 and a VPS for the first time, there are a few more steps; we do it together screen by screen, you press the buttons and you never share your password with anyone.
Which account are the trades on this page placed on?
On a live account: on the broker's live server, with a real price feed and real money. The account runs on the Maximum risk setting; we state this next to every figure.
Are there real-money results?
Yes. The forward-test results on this page come from a live account with real money; they are shown separately and clearly labeled.
Why are the backtest numbers so large?
Because the lot size grows with the balance, both gains and drawdowns compound; the Maximum setting is the most extreme example. At lot sizes that large, slippage and liquidity in the real market change the outcome. The Medium setting is a calmer version of the same trades; we show all three side by side in the table.
Will I get the same result as the backtest?
Don't expect the same. Slippage, latency, spreads and broker differences change the result. A backtest is a historical simulation; that's why we put the live account trades next to it.
Which risk setting should I start with?
It's your choice. If you're new, start with a demo account and the Medium setting. Maximum opens five times the lot size on the same balance; both returns and drawdowns get bigger.
Why only gold?
TULPAR BOT's rules were developed around the price behavior of gold (XAUUSD) and tested only on XAUUSD. Using it on any other symbol is not recommended.
Are all the rules disclosed?
No. We explain the logic of the two wings; the exact parameters are not shared.
Do you provide signals? Which broker should I use?
No, we don't share trading signals or price targets, and we don't recommend brokers; choosing a broker and checking that it is legally compliant is up to you. In Turkey, leveraged trading may only be carried out through institutions authorized by the SPK (Capital Markets Board of Türkiye).
What is Forexhane?
A Turkish-speaking community of growth-minded traders interested in algorithmic trading (algo trading). Setup support, educational content and transparent results, drawdowns included, are all here; no buy/sell calls and no price targets.
