Dubai, UAE – March 16, 2026 — Rimantas Petrauskas has announced the worldwide release of FxMagnetic 1.8.0, an update focused on expanding strategy automation capabilities and improving performance analysis for traders operating in forex trading and proprietary trading environments.

The update addresses a growing need among traders to validate strategies more effectively before deploying them in live markets, particularly in conditions where strict drawdown rules and disciplined execution are required.

Breakout Trader Brings Session-Based Strategy Automation

The newly introduced FxMagnetic Breakout Trader enables traders to design and automate strategies based on commonly used breakout models. These include approaches centered around key market sessions, such as:

London session breakouts
New York opening range strategies
Custom-defined breakout periods

By combining visual backtesting with automated trade execution, the tool allows traders to evaluate breakout behavior across different market conditions and refine their setups accordingly. The integration with FxMagnetic’s existing Scanner and Autotrader ensures consistency between testing and live execution.

Equity Simulator Enhances Strategy Evaluation

Version 1.8.0 also introduces the FxMagnetic Equity Simulator, a tool designed to transform trade data into a visual equity curve. Using risk settings defined by the trader, the simulator helps illustrate how a strategy could perform over time.

This feature provides additional context beyond individual trades, offering insights into drawdowns, growth patterns, and overall consistency—factors that are particularly important for traders preparing for or managing prop firm accounts.

“Understanding how a strategy behaves as a sequence of trades is often more important than analyzing isolated results,” noted a member of the development team. “Equity curve visualization makes it easier to evaluate long-term stability.”

Improved Control Over Trade Execution

Several updates in version 1.8.0 focus on improving how strategies are executed and managed:

Manual and Auto Trading Modes
A new toggle button allows switching between automated execution and manual confirmation. The platform now defaults to manual mode on startup, reducing the risk of unintended trades when signals are already active.
Daylight Saving Time Adjustment
A new parameter enables automatic shifting of trading sessions during periods when U.S. and European daylight saving schedules are not aligned, helping maintain accurate session-based strategies.
Organized Optimization Results
Strategy optimization files are now saved into date-based folders, simplifying navigation for traders conducting multiple backtests.

These enhancements provide greater flexibility for traders who combine automated systems with discretionary decision-making.

Advancing Structured Trading Approaches

The FxMagnetic Suite continues to evolve as a platform focused on structured, rule-based trading. By combining visual backtesting, automation, and performance analysis, it supports traders aiming to develop consistent strategies under real market constraints.

“The direction of the platform is centered on clarity and control—allowing strategies to be tested thoroughly and executed with defined rules,” a product representative commented. “This update strengthens both aspects.”

FxMagnetic 1.8.0 is now available worldwide. Additional details and access to the full platform can be found at FxMagnetic.
