With 1.2 you get a modelling quality of 25% in backtests - that's not working.
If you cannot backtest it thouroughly and valid, why even care updating it or using it live?
As I said in my review: if you cannot reproduce live trades with backtest trades, how could or would you verify a working EA strategy? With version 1.0 and 1.1 there were more losing trades than winning trades - and with a TP of 600 and a SL of 2000 this will never be positive.
Oh and don't even think of excusing it with low ms, low slippage and low spreads arguments. I am using it on a VPS (<2ms) with low spreads and low slippage.

If you backtest with M1 timeframe, modelling quality alway 25%
I am running a forward test on small accounts since yesterday (local MT4 instance demo account + VPS live account (<2ms)). Same broker, same EA settings, etc.
Trades are almost identical, but opening and close prices differ by almost spread size (currently around 22) which changes performance to be worse in live than in demo. E.g. in demo trailing starts much earlier, profit is taken quicker whereas in live it could lead to positions running longer and having a higher chance of reversing and running into SL. Or opening price differs that much, that the profit taken is much lower than in demo. Quick spikes / jumps / moves in price also destroy one or the other trades in comparison to demo (ideal environment).
Overall performance is still really good (80 USD profit in 2 hours in demo, 50 USD profit in 2 hours in live). But I am not sure if this is due to high volatility at the moment. If volatility dies this could lead to much more choppiness and we are back to small losses piling up to an overall negative performance (as in earlier versions of this EA).
Even in v1.2 it's still not a working and consistent EA/strategy.
Yesterday it performed ok and made around 150 USD profit. Today it's already down 250 USD. Nothing changed on my / broker side (still <2ms and same EA settings). Not usable...
HI Nguyen
is it possible to have a param with use/no use of Moving average and of course nb period of moving average ?
and to have trade taken only if price respect this trend ?
Thank you to mind about
Warmly
