Unfortunately I have to rate this EA, as it is the case with most EAs on myql5, with zero stars as this "system" is nothing but a pure death trap in the long run (I'm forced to give it 1 star as I can't give 0 stars). The basic concept itself is derived from the Hamster EA (RSI and ATR for entering trades) and like the Hamster, it's the atrocious risk:reward ratio (6 pips TP vs. 100 SL (!)) that makes this EA so dangerous (just look at the live signal of the author, one losing streak wiped out all gains made over the last week). I've bought most popular EAs on mql5 and have NOT run a single one in live mode as it is quite obvious that all those systems are to dangerous to be traded with live accounts. I've posted this numerous times and I don't get it why people can be so stupidly ignorant to release and even sell EAs with such appalling risk/reward ratios? Even amateurs and non-traders instinctively know that such a system is not sustainable in the long run and doomed to fail from the very beginning.
