Trading strategy

• The system works with an unnamed strategy on the terminal. 
• It works with EURUSD only. 
• The only time frame for safe working is H1. 

The developer shared with us a report on M1 of EURUSD. The broker wasn’t revealed. The risk level was 10%. The history quality was 80%. The recovery factor of this system was 52.62 when the profit factor was 3.82. It was a good number. The maximum drawdown was very low – 3.88%. It has executed  8644 orders. The accuracy was 77% for shorts and 76% for longs. 

Trading results

It’s nice of the dev to share with us trading results that were verified by Myfxbook. Alas, they are only from a demo account. It’s clear that the devs are afraid of risking their money. The advisor has been trading on a demo account automatically with 1:500 leverage. The account has a verified track record and verified trading privileges. So, there’s hope that the system shows real data. The account was deployed on June 22, 2021, and deposited at €10,000. Since then, the absolute gain has become 27.53%. An average monthly gain is 7.18%. The maximum drawdown is 26.28%.

The system has performed 136 orders with an average win of EUR 52, 73 and an average loss of -EUR 45,50. The accuracy rate is from 62% to 70%. This EA trades with an average trade length of two days. 

The system works in both directions equally by the number of orders and profits. 

The EA focuses on opening orders when the market is calm. 

Thursday is the less traded day with 22 orders. 

The robot works with high risks to the balance. 

The expert advisor uses an aggressive combo of a Grid with Martingale. The last page of trading results shows 55% of the win rate only. 

There are some open orders floating on the market. 

The robot provides different monthly profits. 

What are the real customers saying about Hippo Trader Pro?

The presentation includes both positive and negative testimonials. We don’t know if these comments are relevant. 

Other notes

The system is too young and uses two risky strategies at once to say that we can be safe using it.
