Growex is a weird company that doesn’t want to talk about itself. The presentation looks poor and unprofessional.
Is this service a viable option?
We don’t think so. There are a few feedback and trading results that aren’t trustworthy.

Growex Backtests
We have no backtests published on the site. It’s suspicious. Lacking reports keeps us away from comparing present trading results with the past ones.

The maximum drawdown is 13.42%. The account was tracked by 115 traders, but after manipulations with the account – only one person.
The robot has traded 931 deals with 6900.6 pips. An average win is 26.77 pips when an average loss is -36.48 pips. The accuracy rate is 71% for Long positions when 67% for Short positions. An average trade length is over 16 hours 22 minutes. The Profit Factor is 2.47.

The robot trades during all sessions focusing on the European and the beginning of American trading sessions.
Monday (220 deals) and Thursday (212) are the most traded days in a week.
The system works with medium risks to the account balance. It can lose 26 deals to lose 10% of the account.
Growex works with mediocre Martingale that increases lot sizes from 0.07 to 0.18.
The first five months were profitable.
Other Notes
The developers are from London and Cape Town. There’s a Telegram channel for support. Alas, the developers didn’t provide information about their past trading experience. We have no MQL5 or Facebook profiles.
People Feedback
The company has a profile on Trustpilot with 14 reviews and a 4.4 rate based on them.
The available comments don’t include any information about how much people gain and other trading-related details. It means most of their reviews are fake.
Wrapping up
Advantages

- Grid+Martingale combo
- No risk or money-management advice given
- Some data was removed from a verified account – the system loses all its followers

Growex is a copy-trading service. The presentation wasn’t written to answer all our questions. It’s hard to understand how that price can include a free VPS service that can easily cost half of the offer. The system works with a Grid and Martingale combo. Something went wrong on the verified account, and a part of the data was removed. It triggers losing all 140+ subscribers. It’s suspicious. We cannot suggest this service.
