Alright guys, no BS has anyone ever bought a ea and made good money?

I bought one strategy about 6 years ago for $99 while it was on sale. I ran it live as soon as I bought it as I don’t prefer to demo anything. First couple of months was pretty much break even. I ended up decompiling the dlls and ex4 to get the source code and went about re-building and optimizing the strategy myself. I found a parameter set that showed potential so I ended up throwing it live again. The strategy approximately tripled my account in a few months, I later lost 20% and decided it was a fluke.

Withdrew and closed the account; never looked at commercial EAs again.

mate if you tripled your account then lost 20% you must of been up 280%? thats still good. Am i missing something?
