A very nice 19 trades though, if it looks like that at 100 trades I would be majorly impressed!

I would not even say the trades are nice
There are trades lasting 118 days with 4 pips profit :)
Average trade length is 1 month, holding position for so long for small profit is unwise.

Laughed at the wait a couple of years haha

Looks better than my own results personally no matter how many days held!!!

no it seems rather random trades - keep them open until they are in profit

possible. i was expecting to see a big drawdown though but it is relatively small. yet the profit is small too. if it was 60% profit, drawdown would have been 50%

I am not clear about the few discussion above.
I think it is a quite good account because: DD <3%, monthly return~3%. So if you double the risk/lot side, profit could be 6%. I am not sure with the DD about 50%.
Did I miss anything here?

The trades are open until they are profitable, for hundreds of days.
Moreveover there are only 20 trades so no base to evaluate the system, at all

I never take in consideration demo EA, especially if there's a scalp strategy involved, don't lose time to make a due diligence on demo accounts. Keep your energy for REAL Accounts.

I think my strategy might be worth checking. The returns are not bad if all parameters are considered:

3-4% consistent monthly returns
Max realized drawdown 1% and floating drawdown of about 5%
Maximum leverage 1:50 and max account capital used less than 10%
Very low risk (risk of 10% ruin 0.01 i.e need 120 consecutive losing trades to lose 10% of capital)

My EA is set for 10 percent a yr. Very slow and very safe.

High Frequency Trading is one of my favorite choice, banks invest million on algo trading software, personally I have a Pamm that make trade of 1/2 minutes and 99% of the time is flat. Software tailored at a specific broker can analyse deep the book to find liquidity to fill the orders without slippage.

A trading system that can 100% guarantee 4% a month does not exist!
If so, they would be able to control the entire monetary system in the world.

It takes a lot of dedication and time to even get to the point of having a consistent 4% a month profit, year after year. Hard work with other words.
What one can do is combine different tools in one's trading box and by using these tools one can get very close to the 4% mark, though it can not be 100% guaranteed by anyone. The tools that I am talking about are EA's (robots), strategies, signal providers, computers, brokers and so forth.
 
Who is the master of all these tools? You are! Which tool is the number one?
The human mind has capacity beyond our understanding and the ability to learn from mistakes and not repeat them. What I am trying to get across is that 'experience' is the number one tool. By using it in your trading it will be the most important tool ever, to be able reach the illusive 4% guaranteed profit per month :).
