April 2025: Performance Under Pressure From Trade War and Strategic Overhaul

April brought major turbulence across global markets, triggered by Donald Trump’s newly announced tariffs aimed at both China and the EU. The heightened volatility hit the Forex market hard – for some strategies, this meant strong gains, while others struggled to stay afloat.

Standalone strategies like Global (+9.24%) and Comfort (+6.93%) delivered outstanding results. The composite Weekly Income strategy also posted a very strong month (+8.02%), further proving its robustness – particularly as it includes Global in its core.

By contrast, strategies such as Breakout, Pound, Euro, and Cross performed poorly. Since these are included in some composite bots, they dragged down the performance of those portfolios – especially Fusion, which ended the month down -41.74%.

  2. Weekly Income (composite): +8.02%
  3. Comfort: +6.93%

🌍 Market Recap – April 2025

April was defined by significant geopolitical tension. The trade war between the United States and China intensified after Donald Trump imposed a new wave of tariffs, this time targeting imports from the European Union as well.

Markets responded with surging volatility across asset classes – including equities and currencies. The Forex market saw sharp movements and frequent reversals, which directly impacted the performance of individual Robotrader strategies. This environment highlighted the critical importance of choosing the right algorithm – and most importantly, diversification.

🔁 Key Portfolio Adjustments

Based on April’s developments and the increased risk environment, we have made the following changes to our strategy offerings:

  • Strategies Breakout, Pound, Euro, and Cross have been completely removed from our offering.
  • In the Fusion composite bot, the risky algorithms (Cross and Breakout) have been deactivated, significantly reducing its volatility.
  • We are launching new strategies:


    • Global – a standalone, stable, high-performing strategy.
    • Weekly Income – a composite strategy that includes Global and Levels.
    • Monthly Income – a composite strategy combining all Levels-type bots.
    • Basic – a standalone Levels strategy with risk/return between Invest and Comfort.
    • Power – a standalone Levels strategy with risk/return between Comfort and Performance.
    • AI Income – a composite strategy available on the MT5 platform.

👥 Final Thoughts From Ondřej and Petr

April was a true stress test for our bots – and we’re actually glad it happened.

The high volatility and sharp reversals gave us a clear picture of which strategies hold up long term and which ones no longer make sense. The results speak for themselves.

Strategies like Global and the composite Weekly Income performed exceptionally – a clear sign that we can confidently offer this new generation of algorithms. Others, however, have reached the end of their life cycle and are being retired before they cause more harm than good. That’s our job – to make the hard choices and fine-tune the offering so you don’t have to.

Thanks for being with us.
