Omega Trend EA is another forex robot developed and promoted by the FXAutomater company. They advertise this product as one of the most successful Forex EAs ever designed by the team. Its developers were trying to create an EA that would felicitously combine three profitable trading strategies. As a result, they’ve made a fully automated trading system for the MetaTrader 4 platform that works with two major currency pairs (EURUSD, GBPUSD). Omega Trend EA works based on two trend trading indicators. Basically, the EA implements the Omega Trend Indicator strategy with some additional automation features. We’ve already reviewed some of their trend trading robots, including a more expensive Forex Trend Detector expert advisor. Now, let’s find out whether Omega Trend EA can be one of the best forex robots or it’s just another scam EA.

Trading Strategy
As it was mentioned earlier, the EA uses three simple strategies. In fact, it’s not three strategies really, but more like three rules of trading. What this EA combines is two trend trading indicators, and the main job of the algorithm is to choose the right entry and exit points. Omega Trend EA dynamically changes SL and TP levels according to fluctuations on the market. The devs provide us with two pretty much outdated backtest results of this trading strategy for each currency pair.
Above, you can see a strategy tester report that shows the performance of EA on EURUSD pair during 2008-2012. However, the test was conducted with low modeling quality covering a short period from the previous decade. Furthermore, we assume that they may have used a repainting indicator. Thus, we can’t trust it.
Trading Results
Omega Trend EA has been applied to one demo trading account using 1:500 leverage with Alpari forex broker. The vendor has launched the account in January 2020 with $1000 deposit.
Since then, Omega Trend EA has managed to grow the account by 25% (as of May 2020). During this period, the robot has made 125 trades with 57% win-rate and an average win of 45 pips ($12). The profit factor equals 1.41, which is a mid-low number among automated trading systems. The best trade was 400 pips ($119.28), and that is half of the total profit made by EA. The worst trade was -147 pips (-$44). The average trade length is 15 hours.
The average monthly gain is 6.09%, which is good enough result. However, the majority of profitable deals has occurred in March 2020. In fact, it’s all just about one good trade made by EA. Even if we forget that EA is running on a demo account, it’s hard to make a conclusion about the robot’s effectiveness based on five months of live trading, considering that it was profitable during just one. Summing up, these results don’t seem reliable for us.
