Comrade Trader | Is this the "one"

The Comrade trader has been live for about 5 months now trading live. Is this the EA we have all been searching for? The strategy of this EA is not readily known, but judging from the account history, it does NOT set a hard stop loss but instead uses equity stops.

The EA trades on the 15 min. time frame on the Eur/Usd and the Gbp/Usd pairs. The fact that it uses equity stops leads me to believe it is a type of grid-trader. One aspect I really like a lot about this robot is that it uses dynamic TP levels. This really helps the EA lock in some nice pips based on the price action at time of trading.

The R:R ratio up to this point is not very good, somewhat reminiscent of a scalper. But I believe this could change in the future as it hits more TP with higher pip counts during higher volatility trading. Below is a screenshot that will display the up-to-date performance.


You will notice the DD is pretty low and the monthly gain is rather high! Unfortunately the account is not verified which is somewhat of a red flag. Is this really a real money account?

This is a HFT (high frequency trader) expert advisor. It has performed 1751 trades to date since its inception in in Sept 2013. This is no doubt off to a really good start, but I caution the account is too young to write home about it. Let's see how this one shapes up in the future. Who knows this just might be the "one".
