I purchased this EA expecting a serious, ready-to-use trading system for FTMO challenges or real accounts. Unfortunately, this product turned out to be a complete scam in disguise.

Upon purchase, there was no .set file provided. I had to wait 2 days to receive a so-called “optimized” configuration for XAUUSD H1. After testing it thoroughly using tick data (Eightcap broker) on MetaTrader 5, the results were extremely poor:

    •    The EA shows no performance before late 2023, and then suddenly becomes profitable in a very narrow time window.

    •    Over a longer period (2019–2025), the equity curve is unstable, inconsistent, and mostly losing.

    •    This is a classic case of overfitting, designed to trick buyers with impressive backtests on limited data.

Even worse, there is no robustness testing whatsoever:

    •    No Monte Carlo simulation,

    •    No What-If testing,

    •    No Walk Forward analysis,

    •    No Out-of-Sample validation (OOS).

From what I can see, this EA was likely auto-generated using ChatGPT or a basic EA builder, with no real trading logic or serious development effort.

It gives a false sense of profitability but is completely unusable in live trading. It fails to meet any serious standard in algorithmic trading.

I’m extremely disappointed. I’ve requested a refund, and I’m posting this review to warn other traders before they fall into the same trap.

Avoid this EA. It is not professional in any way.

I strongly advise you not to buy it  it’s a complete scam.

If you test this EA outside of its optimization period or in a forward test, it completely fails it’s unusable in live trading.

Alright Freddy, since you decided to post everything publicly, let’s have a proper conversation so the people can really understand what’s going on.

First off — yes, I sent you a .set file that was custom-built for your $25K FTMO setup, just like you asked. I even told you upfront that it would take 2–3 days because I don’t just slap random settings together — I run full tick data tests, optimize per symbol, and test across conditions.

Now you’re upset because it didn’t perform the same in 2019–2021?

Let me break it down:

1. You’re testing it on old markets that don’t even move like today.
2019 to 2021 was a whole different market. Gold was slower, ranges were tighter, and impulse breakouts didn’t happen like they do now. You can’t expect a 2023 strategy to behave the same way in 2019. That’s like comparing a race car tuned for a track to a tractor field — wrong place, wrong time.

2. Your test data is weak.
You used Eightcap data from MT5, which is not real tick data. It’s low quality, missing tick volume, spread changes, and slippage. The model quality is poor, so of course it’s gonna look off.

I use proper tick data when optimizing (Tickstory, TrueFX, real brokers), so if you want real results, you need to test with the same kind of fuel I’m using.

3. You were still gonna get more sets.
I had setups in the works for EURUSD, GBPUSD, and more. But instead of waiting, or even just asking, you rushed to call it a scam publicly — while you’re holding a screenshot that literally shows it winning in the optimized window. Make that make sense.

So let me say this for the people reading:

This EA was never marketed as a plug-and-play holy grail. It’s for traders who understand the game — that want FTMO-safe logic, real breakout entries, and tailored setups. If you want magic, go buy fairy dust — this is for people who backtest properly and respect the process.

I’ll keep helping the serious ones.
You? Do what you gotta do.
