NightTradeEA Review

NightTradeEA is an expert advisor from the MQL5 forum that was published not so far ago. The system had several updates received. It received mediocre popularity among the community. 

Is this robot a viable option?

The system is too young and it uses high-risk trading. We don’t know if it works well for half a year or so.

Wrapping up

Advantages

• Backtest reports provided
• Trading results shown

Disadvantages

• No money management advice given
• The robot uses Martingale and high-risk trading
• No refund policy provided 

NightTradeEA works with a real but low deposit account. The system provides profits executing high risk orders. The owners know the risks, so he withdraws funds from time to time not to lose everything. It means that we don’t know what profits the system can make working with acceptable risks.
