EA Vega: To Trust or Not to Trust?
The robot is too young to tell something for sure about its future performance and if it meets our expectations.
Features

- The expert advisor “opens and closes trades based on the candlestick bar ranges and top and bottom prices.”
- It can work automatically for us.

Verified Trading Results
There are some horrible backtests. This one is a 10% risk EUR/USD on the M30 time frame based on the 10 years of trading data. The backtest’s modeling quality was 99.90%. An initial deposit was $1000. The Total Net Profit has amounted to $480k. The Profit Factor was 1.43. The maximum drawdown was 32.63%. The win-rate was only 57%.
As we can see, no one interests in his signals, even for $30 monthly.
