This ATS is available for $599. As per the developer, only one copy is left at this price and further copies will cost $699. A free demo offer is present. There is no other info present about the features available with the package. No money-back offer is present for this FX EA. This raises suspicion on the reliability of this MT5 tool. When compared to similar expert advisors in the market, the cost of this FX robot is exorbitant. Considering the system uses a high-risk approach like the grid we find it is not worth the money.
Trading strategy
As per the developer, this EA uses an advanced form of Grid method which has produced good results on real accounts. This system capitalizes on real market conditions to reap high profits. The explanation provided is vague and insufficient to understand the approach.
This system is not affected by slippage and spread but the developer recommends using a good ECN broker for best results. For leverage of 1:100, the developer suggests using a $1000 account with a significant risk setting but for the leverage of 1:30, a low-risk setting is recommended for accounts using a minimum of $6000.
Trading results
A few backtesting reports are present on the MQL5 site. Here is a strategy tester report conducted on the AUDCAD pair from 2006 up to 2021.
From the above report, we can see that the EA had generated a total return of 3475878.85 for an initial deposit of $1000. A total of 5157 trades were executed during the test with a maximum drawdown of 17.14%. A profitability of 77% was present for the account with a profit factor value of 2.06. From the stats, we can see that the FX robot had generated a decent profit with a drawdown that is not too high. But since the test was based on historical data, we cannot predict a similar result in real trading.
The developer provides real trading results for this FX EA. Here is a real USD account using the ICE-FX broker and the leverage of 1:300 on the MT4 platform.
From the trading stats, a total profit of 3588.8% and an absolute profit of 1426.0% are present for the account that started in June 2018 has completed 2402 trades with 74% profitability. The profit factor value is 1.73. A drawdown of 26.70% is present which is high and indicates the risky approach used.
The daily and monthly profits for the account are 0.29% and 9.04% respectively. Comparing the backtesting and live trading results, we find that the profitability is low while the drawdown is higher than the one of the backtesting stats.

From the feedback, it is clear that the use of the Grid method is risky. The reviews show users have blown up their accounts or suffered big losses. This corroborates our analysis that this system is not safe and reliable.
