Fake reviews in the market MQL5 - page 7

New comment
Hello, when people writing reviews, it can happen that they make a mistake and then when they input already review and want to edit, then a moment later there is: User didn't leave any comment to the rating, could you please fix this because we want our potential customers to see that we are doing everything for the support side and want them to help as much as we can since customers are #1 Priority for us.
Would you please fix that problem because it is not helping us at all if you automatically delete our messages when they try to edit if they made a mistake when leaving a review.

What are you talking about?
You are not a registered seller, so how can this affect you?

I think reviews have a "settlement" period and do not appear immediately . 

Other things that may affect it is turning a free product to paid , placing a review immediately after purchase etc . 

A nice addition to the system would be for mq to be measuring usage time and disclose the purchase price , so the review could read something like this 

"Awesome indicator , the best signals [Posted 5 mins after 0$ purchase with a usage time of 5 seconds]"

I totally agree with you.

Lots of fake ea's are selling with this trick.

To avoid from this, i always look for a live track record (live signal) if seller provides.

Fakes has no live signal to show off cource. :)

Sellers starts good amonth of sells with fake reviews, then 1-2 months later removes the ea from market. This is another trick.

I think mql5 should not allow sellers to remove their ea's from market.

true

That's a great idea.
I doubt though MQL5 will make something like that. Most new features are driven by competition, but the MQL5 Market has no competition and therefore not much motivation to add new features, IMO.

Comments that do not relate to this topic, have been moved to "Off Topic Posts".
I think we don't know if a 5-star rating for a product is real or virtual, if you want to buy a good EA, then see if their signal on mql5 is good and then decide to buy.

fake reviews are big problem:

backtest is also big problem , i have purchased EA which in backtest keeps on adding account , in real it just failed with 1 or -1% gain every month , meanwhile developer just stops the EA live results time to time just to keep it green. it never worked . But the price is set and increasing , i think signals is way to go with max users in it.

Good suggestions that I copied here from one a forum.

I recommend to everyone who reads this to always have a real account in MQL5 Signals of a specific EA before buying.

1, do not trust backtests (past data does not guarantee future profits),
2, do not trust demo accounts (these are not realistic conditions),
3, do not trust pictures where there is only profit (you don't see a floating loss or total loss account),
4, do not trust sellers who manipulate the account deposit just to reduce DD or not lose the account,
5, do not trust 5 stars because they are often bought for a bonus or that's what beginners give,
6, do not trust AI because it's marketing nonsense and often there are dangerous martingale/grid strategies hidden behind it. It is important to be careful because there is no refund on MQL5 Market.
