Trading Strategy
As per the claims of the developer, this EA does not use the Grid or the Martingale strategy as they are considered high-risk approaches. While the vendor does not explain the strategy, there are backtest results for different risk settings. Here is a screenshot of the medium risk category done from 2012 up to 2020 on 8 currency pairs. A total profit of 22118.66% is present for this account which started with a drawdown value of 11.17%. The profit factor is 2.42 and the winning rate is 77.95%. While the drawdown is not high, the winning rate and vague explanation of the strategy make the EA a high-risk investment.
