The Algo Trading Podcast: Traders, Brokers and EA Developers
Long conversations about trading robots with the people around them: brokers, Darwinex, prop firms, the developers who write the EAs, and traders who run them with real money. Hosted by Petko Aleksandrov. Every episode is here, newest first.

You'll Keep Losing at Forex Until You Understand This
What if the biggest obstacle to becoming a successful trader isn't your EA but your mindset?
Open on YouTubeThe questions behind the robots
Our videos show robots and results. The podcast is where we ask what sits behind them: how a broker fills your orders, what a prop firm’s rules mean for an EA, why Darwinex allocates to one strategy and not another, and how a developer builds a robot that lasts.
Petko hosts most episodes; Sam and Ilan from our team host some. Guests talk about their own companies and their own results, so take what they say as their view on the day it was recorded.
Many guest episodes are also written up as articles in the Interviews section of our blog.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I listen?
On YouTube, on two channels: Petko Aleksandrov and Algo Trading Space. This page lists the episodes of both in one place.
How often do new episodes come out?
There’s no fixed schedule. A new episode shows on this page by itself as soon as it’s public on YouTube.
Is anything in the podcast investment advice?
No. Guests share their own experience and their views on their companies and results. Nothing in an episode is a recommendation to trade, and past results don’t predict future ones.
Can I suggest a guest or a topic?
Yes. Send it to us through the contact page.
Is there a written version?
Many guest episodes are written up as articles in the Interviews section of our blog.
Do you have other shows?

See the robots we talk about
The robots that come up in the podcast are on our robot pages, and every account we trade is on our live results page.
Pick a robot by its live account, not its sales page.
Where we run a robot on our own account, its page shows the gain, the deepest drawdown and every month, the losing ones included.
