Developing EA's since 2005, I believe I can call myself an experienced EA trader.

Gecko runs a simple, yet very effective, proven strategy. It looks for important recent high and lows and will trade the breakouts.
The actual execution of this strategy however, is what makes this EA truly shine. Entry calculations and exit algorithms are not only unique but also very advanced.
LIVE RESULTS:
The EA uses many trade management techniques, including but not limited to:
- a Trailing SL, using multipe parameters to control its function
- "Move to Break-even" at certain point, with the possibility to add extra pips to the point of breakeven
- Trailing SL based on recent highs/lows, including an option to run this only until breakeven level (to provide more room for full TP to be reached)
- Trailing SL based on trade duration, to limit exposure after the move has run out of momentum
This is NOT a scalper EA, and it does not use any grid/martingale or other risky techniques. It uses very strict Stoploss, at safe distance.
There are many risk management option, including setting a certain risk per trade.
The EA is developed mainly for EURUSD, since it is the most succesful pair for running breakout strategies. However, backtests shows promising results on multiple pairs already, without any optimization for those pairs.

Reminder: As with every trading system, always remember that forex trading can be risky. Don't trade with money that you can not afford to lose. It is always best to test EA's first on demo accounts, or live accounts running low lotsize. You can always increase risk later!
support from Wim is outstanding - every question answered fast, very fast... I received free EA as promised with as many demo accounts linked as I wanted.... after one week Gecko is on the plus side but it's a small one - I will write / review more in two months time - that is a promise... whether it will be positive or negative we will see :) update - 29.09.2020 - 2 months - demo - more profit than loss after 2 months I decided to try live Gecko together with Wim's Advanced Scalper (on one account) effect: total return - 4,9% peak drawdown -4,2% trade win - 74,3% trades per day - 2.5 most trades were made on EURUSD (52,9%), then GPBUSD (28,6%) and least on USDJPY 18,6% (it was worst pair - but even this was on plus side (profit) - even with only 69% win rate, while EURUSD was 86% win rate So - personally I'm pleased...
