2016.07.26 Looks promising. I'm not sure why this is not popular yet, I will test it more and post its performance. I hope it'd do well :)
2016.08.17 I'm happy with this EA overall. I've learned that the result could really vary depending on the brokers.
2016.09.12 I need to know well how to use this EA, however I must say that it's yes profitable so far.
2017.06.02 Keeping good performance. Broker and VPS sensitive.
2017.06.26 June was a great month for Black Scorpion.
2017.10.20 All the benefits during two years had gone. Bye-bye money, bye-bye scorpion.

For now this is great ea and excellent support from developer. I've bought this EA 2 weeks ago, I need more time for review it.
07/09/2016 On my account is not profitable, this EA is broker sensitive.
10/10/2016 I have bought this EA for 330 USD. Now cost is 150...This is a sort of insult for who have bought EA with higher price.
16/01/2017 New account, new broker, EA with default settings.For now profitable

I use it about two weeks. I have no problem to make loss trades as long as the trades are 90 % same like signals. You will never get the same result as his signal. i use also Icmarkets ecn account and vps with 2 ms ping but it is not possible get same trades.


I agree with jffilters that this EA is very broker dependant. I have found only one broker that Black Scorpian performs well enough to earn one star.

I've bought this EA 3 weeks ago and running it on a 5K Demo account with VPS from that time... Nearly only loss, using the exact same default parameter as recommanded. Actually around 18% of loss on the Demo account. Even looking the different EA Signal from the Author (2 Real and a Demo with different Brokers) the EA is not reacting the same way... The result of the EA seems Broker dependent. Plenty open trade and cancelled trade. Trade open during few seconds and closing with loss. Really disappointing so far.
Improved the strategy.
Parameters:
Auto_hidden_SL_and_TP - select automatically (default).
Use_hidden_SL_and_TP - manual setting.
Off_hidden_SL_and_TP - disable.
Use_Line_for_Hidden_SL_and_TP - show the lines of the hidden stop loss and take profit on the chart.
2. Added parameter: Visibility_of_pending_orders - visibility of pending orders in points.
2. Added protection against high spread: if the average spread is greater than the (max spread) variable, the EA closes pending orders and does not place new orders.
2. Improved the system of level breakouts.
2) Fixed minor errors.
2. Fixed minor bugs.
