Staking systems
Based on a review of an earlier version of this EA where it wiped out an account in testing, it used a Martingale staking system. Martingale staking systems have the characteristic that they usually produce extremely good steady growth of capital, even with systems without a genuine edge, but occasionally wipe out the account. Hence they are viewed as worthless for serious use by anyone who has an understanding of statistics.
To be more precise, all a Martingale staking system can do (by comparison with a level staking or constant percentage staking system) is to increase the uncertainty of the return, while not increasing the mean return.
Please excuse my purely negative tone, but Martingale staking is one of the most popular methods for dressing up pigs ears as silk purses, and one of the most common way for punters to be suckered.
There is a claim by a user/affiliate on the web that they have dropped the Martingale staking in the latest version. Frankly I would find it difficult to trust a system from someone who was dumb enough (or deceiptful enough) to use a Martingale staking system in a previous version.
