Undoubtedly, trust can’t be reached after several months of existing. Now it’s too early to say for sure if the robot is good enough to go on trading on a real account in 2021.
Features

Redshift runs the account with sky-high risks. For losing 10%, we have to lose only four deals in a row.
The robot trades with huge Stop Loss levels of -200 pips. To recover after reaching them, the system has to close over fifteen deals in a row with profits.
Now, the robot is a scam.
High Drawdowns
Redshift trades with consistent and significantly high drawdowns.
Vendor Transparency
The vendor has a medium level of transparency because we don’t see his photo. For funding his myfxbook account, we have to google, and there are no signal services connected to his MQL5 account.
People feedback
As we can see, people experience several loss deals that reached Stop Losses. As a result, they noticed that it’s risky and requires many profitable deals to recover after.
