Six months ago, I was at my wit’s end.
I had just started using Galileo FX, a trading robot that’s supposed to automate trades on platforms like MetaTrader 4 and 5, but I was struggling to make any real gains.
My win rate was abysmal, and my equity curve was flatter than a pancake. I was on the verge of giving up, convinced that maybe this whole automated trading thing just wasn’t for me.
But then, everything changed.
I stumbled upon the official Galileo FX forum, where other traders were sharing their settings, backtests, and strategies.
This community quickly became my lifeline, and over the next few months, I turned my trading journey around.
When I first set up Galileo FX, I was hopeful. The software promised to make trading easy—just set it up, and let it run.
I started with the Personal version, which had a profit cap of $1,000 per month in live mode. I thought that would be plenty, especially as a newbie in the Forex game.
But reality hit hard.
My initial strategy was all wrong. I was using aggressive settings without fully understanding the implications.
My drawdowns were huge, sometimes exceeding 30%, and my profitability was laughable. I was trading EUR/USD, GBP/USD, and a few other major pairs, but nothing seemed to work.
I was averaging 5-7 trades a day, but more than half were losses.
The winning trades weren’t enough to cover the losers, and my account was slowly bleeding out.
I remember one week where I lost nearly 40% of my account balance.
The frustration was real. I was so close to quitting.
One day, while browsing online for tips, I found the official Galileo FX forum. It was like a treasure trove of information.
Experienced users were posting their backtests, daily and weekly results, and most importantly, their settings.
The forum had sections for all trading styles—day trading, swing trading, long-term investing—and modes like aggressive, slow, and fast.
I realized that I had been using settings that were way too aggressive for my trading style and risk tolerance.
Some users shared settings that were optimized for low drawdown, which was exactly what I needed.
Others posted detailed explanations on how to adjust Consecutive Signals, Stop Loss, and Take Profit levels to better manage risk.
And the best part? These settings were free. Unlike the premium settings that Galileo FX sells for €199 each (or €1699 for the bundle), these community-shared settings cost nothing.
Sure, the premium settings are tested and optimized by the team with a success rate of 97.8%, but when you’re trying to recover from losses, free is the way to go.
I decided to give it one last shot. I spent hours going through the forum, reading up on the different strategies and settings.
I chose a more conservative approach, focusing on a swing trading style with a slow mode setting.
I also adjusted my lot sizes to 0.01 and set my Consecutive Signals to a higher number to filter out less confident trades.
Within a month, I noticed a change. My win rate started improving, and more importantly, my drawdowns were significantly reduced.
I was now seeing drawdowns of less than 10%, which was a huge relief. My equity curve began to show signs of life, trending upwards gradually.
I also started trading a broader range of assets, including gold and silver, using the settings shared in the forum.
My daily trades dropped to about 2-3, but the quality of those trades was far better.
I even started seeing profits of up to $500 in a good week, which was a massive improvement from where I started.
After six months of using Galileo FX with the community’s help, I’m happy to say that I’ve turned my trading around.
My average monthly profit is now hovering around $800, which is just shy of the $1,000 cap on the Personal version.
But more importantly, my trading is consistent, with a win rate of around 75% and drawdowns that rarely exceed 5%.
I also invested in the Plus version of Galileo FX, which raised my profit cap to $5,000 per month.
While I haven’t hit that ceiling yet, it’s nice to know that there’s room to grow.
The premium settings are still on my radar, but for now, the free settings from the forum are doing the job just fine.
Looking back, the journey with Galileo FX wasn’t easy, but it was worth it.
The key was finding the right community and the right settings that matched my trading style and risk tolerance.
The official forum was a game-changer, providing me with the knowledge and resources I needed to succeed.
If you’re struggling with Galileo FX, my advice is simple:
Don’t give up too soon.
Explore the community, try different settings, and be patient. Trading is a marathon, not a sprint.
And with the right tools and strategies, you can turn things around just like I did.
