Volatility Factor 2.0 Review: Does It Win or Lose?

Volatility Factor 2.0 claims to be the most powerful EA on the market right now. As per vendor claims, this robot has a six-year unbroken winning streak. While this EA supports four currency pairs and is available at an affordable price, there are a few aspects of it that we find disappointing. Firstly, there is very little information available on the parent company. Also, the system trades with high drawdown and has verified trading statistics only for demo accounts. Therefore, we don’t think this is an EA that can win you consistent profits. 

What is Volatility Factor 2.0?

This EA has a broker spy module that hides your stop loss and take profit levels from other brokers, preventing them from cheating you via negative slippage. It supports four currency pairs, namely USD/CHF, USD/JPY, EUR/USD, and GBP/USD. It is a FIFO and NFA compatible system that follows US trading regulations. 

According to the vendor, Volatility Factor 2.0 has a price and spread slippage protection, but they have not explained this feature in detail. It has an in-built money-management system that allows for the automatic calculation of trading lots based on the chosen risk level. You can use different types of accounts for this robot, such as Standard, Mini, and Micro. 

Official Volatility Factor 2.0 website

On the official website, the vendor has listed the features of the system as well as the advantages offered by it. We have the links to verified live trading accounts as well as backtesting results. The details on the pricing plan have been outlined, along with the list of things you get with the package. 

Very little information is available on FXautomater, the parent company of Volatility Factor 2.0. We know it is based in Seychelles, but we have no idea when it was founded or whether it is managed by experienced individuals. 

How can we use Volatility Factor 2.0?

After purchasing the system, you get a user guide that helps you install the robot on your trading platform. The set files and documentation are available in the exclusive member’s area. By paying the one-time fee, you can access a single live account and an unlimited number of demo accounts. 

Pricing & refund

For the price of $227, you can purchase this robot and get access to the advanced news filter and broker spy module. This is pretty close to the market standard for EAs. The vendor provides a 60-day money-back guarantee for this product. 

Trading strategy

Volatility Factor 2.0 searches for channel breakouts while following the major trends. The vendor has not clearly explained the trading strategy which makes it difficult for us to gauge the system’s profitability. 

Here we have the results for a backtest conducted between 2010 and 2017. The EA conducted this test with an initial deposit of $2000, and after winning 78.23% of its trades, it generated a total profit of $1692312.24. 

The drawdown for this backtest was a bit high at 21.15% and this indicates a high-risk strategy. There were a total of 9131 trades performed, and the profit factor was a moderate 1.70.

Current performance 

This trading account was launched on March 04, 2021. Since it has not been active for too long, it is difficult to objectively assess the robot’s profitability by analyzing the results. After conducting 504 trades, the win rate for this account is 76%, which is slightly less in comparison to the backtesting data.

Currently, the daily and monthly gains are 0.20% and 6.19% respectively. To date, the EA has generated a total profit of $2319.58 through this account. It has a profit factor of 2.02 and a Sharpe Ratio of 0.24, which can be considered suboptimal.
