“A very bad EA, all history is predefined to show awsome backtest results if you think only to change the time frame with 1 hr it will always lose. I asked MQL5 to refund my money after one day of purchase it but unfortunately, they did not respond!! Stay away and do not lose your money.” – A 1-star review.
“After using BF Scalper PRO I am impressed. I hope the EA performs so good also in the future.” – A 5-star review.
“A very dangerous trading system. Makes very small profits with BIG drawdowns. Works for a month or two and then it crashes. Do not buy it and don’t say you have not been warned.” – A 1-star review.
So as you can see, for some, it works and others not, however with many expert advisors like this, it can work for a while, but then the trading conditions go against you they can struggle.
