Is this robot a viable option?
We don’t think so. The system showed that it experienced huge problems trading on the real account. We have no idea if the dev knows how to fix it.
How to start trading with Top Scalper
Let’s talk about settings, strategies, and other useful mentions:
- The robot can handle trading on markets fully automatically for us.
- The developer mentioned that we’ve got only four copies left for $250, and the next price will be $350.
- It opens orders at the end of the American trading session.
- It can be called a night scalper.
- The system doesn’t care about what broker we use.
- The account type should be ECN.
- We can customize stop loss and take profit levels.
- EA has a stop loss for each position.
- The system never waits for SL to close a position.
- SL helps to protect orders if volatility is abnormal.
- After a successful trade, the system stops trading this day.
- It works with EURCAD only.
- The only time frame is M15.
- We have to set the GMT offset properly.
- If we don’t know how to do this, we have to contact the developer.
