Red flags found 4 items
- Monthly return above 5% −20
About 214% a year with compounding; several times the long-term average of the US stock market. A claim that it is sustained needs solid evidence.
- The evidence is only screenshots or video −20
Screenshots and videos can be faked or taken from a demo account. Look at the track record on an independent site connected to a real account.
- Track record under 6 months −15
A few months of profit can be luck, or the robot may not yet have hit a period that breaks it.
- Abnormal return-to-drawdown ratio −10
The annual return is more than 6 times the maximum drawdown; this ratio is very rarely seen in real, long track records.
Ask the seller
- Give me a link to the real account's track record on an independent site (such as Myfxbook) with «verified» status.
- What was the maximum drawdown over the whole track record, and in which month?
- Does every trade have a stop loss? How is the next size set after a loss?
- If the robot is this profitable, why are you selling it?
- Do you earn from sales, subscriptions or broker commission?
