Trading style: around the clock scalper with a very tight stop loss (4 pips for the L version, 2 pips for the S version) and with a much larger take profit target (13 pips for the L, 11 pips for the S). Naturally, the losing trades are predominant but overall it still makes good headway.

Note: this EA requires special broker conditions – good execution, good spreads, minimal stop distance. Some upsells are available including an advanced version ($137) that will allow changing all the parameters and a preset service that presumably offers preconfigured setting files. My forward test is running the basic L version.

Backtests

Dukascopy tick data

The backtests are using real spread and span the 2007-2013 interval. It’s worth noting how the EA becomes profitable in the recent years while having a rather flat performance prior to that.
