Transaction Details

The backtest results are impeccable. Since it is 1 position / 1 trade, I think you can watch it with confidence. However, since I don’t understand the logic at all, it is better to do a little FW test on a demo account and then get some features before moving to actual operation. Unfortunately, the free version has a lot limit of 0.01 lots, so you won’t be able to make much money. If you want to operate this E in earnest, you may want to keep in mind purchasing the paid version.
