Pretty amazing stats. Anyone has tried this EA ?

I am trying to understand the logic of this EA. Looking at the lot sizes most trades are fixed at 0.1 lot but there are a few at 0.88-1.01 lots which appear random. For such a small account size these seem like very risky trades. Are they all from the EA, ie. no manual trades? The TP is 30 GBPJPY, 23 for USDJPY, and 17 for EURUSD, however the SL are much higher 240 for GBPJPY, 180 for USDJPY, and 140 for EURUSD. If you exclude all trades that are higher than the usual 0.1 lot the return is -21% and total drawdown is over 60%, so the trades of around 1 lot are recovery trades? On an account with a balance under $4,000 trading 1 full lot seems risky?

Looks like whenever the EA hits the full SL on a pair, there is shortly after a trade 10 times the size (approx around 1 lot), on the same pair that hits a TP to wipe out the loss. Is this correct the logic of the EA?

As if those trades at around 1 lot lost, then the resulting makeup trade would need to be 10 lots? So in effect seems like there is a martingale element here?

makes me think of forex gps

Yes, martingale for the recovery trade - and yes, like GPS. 😎

I have purchased a copy and am testing it on demo as we speak. This account seems too good for me to pass up! Well, I figured I have lost heaps in my own dumb attempts at trading, why not spend $230 on an EA which may actually prove worth it (and make all my money back)? And 'what the heck' - you only live life once. 😉

See my real account 313166 in six months' time and if it is not 'considerably' larger, then chances are this EA didn't work for me.😞

So far the vendor has been quite prompt with his responses and I have a license for both my real and demo accounts.

I am using default settings (AutoPilot), but Extreme Flight (Aggressive Mode) is not enabled. The EA has posted one positive trade today on my demo 902225 within a couple of hours of installing it:

Open Date________Symbol__Action____Lots___Open Price__SL(Pips)__TP(Pips)__Pips__Net Profit__Swap___Gain
14.11.2014 06:40__USDJPY__Buy______0.19____116.04_____-180.10___22.90___17.00__31.27_____0.0____+0.33%

(account balance of ~$9600: implying default account risk is 0.2 Lots per $10,000, or 0.01 per $500...?)

Just wondering why the Official Account has not updated since 12 Nov...

Progress so far... seems to go okay on default settings. I'm wondering if different settings will yield better results?

Hi Matt,

how you getting on are you still following this EA? I notice its mainly martingale but if it recovers its losses then you can't blame it.

Although recently it doesn't seem to be doing too well, could you not lower the stop loss do avoid as high pip loss or would this lower the win percentage significantly?

I can't stand the extended drawdown periods... Less time in the market = less risk.

See the result of SNB in removing the 1.2 cap?

Definitely not interested. Look at recent performance... absolutely appalling! 😲

Will give it a closer look and do some follow up, who knows.
