And what losses did you incur?
I didn't but plenty of others have and I can tell from the way this system trades that it has not been put together by a real trader.
How hugely does it distort the reality? Any proof for such claims?
I have used Tradestation in the past to backtest numerous mechanical trading systems before MT4 ever existed. I was able to come up with a strategy to trade the FTSE 100 that from my back tests would have given a profit of over £4M from a starting bank of just £10K. I posted the results on this forum that showed all trades with exact entries and exits.
However, in reality this was untradeable and the main reason was that it takes the last traded price for all entries and exits as do all the MT4 expert analyser back tested systems. This is because there is no record of the Bid and Ask prices at point of execution and as such the only option is to use the last traded price. It is the same with all demo accounts and is a key reason why many people who are profitable on demo accounts lose hopelessly when they trade real money.
In fact this discussion has made it clear to me that there is easy money to be made in this and I have previously used Clickbank to publish some of my own products. You have convinced me to write an EA and go ahead and market it. I will use the same approach as all the others, ie just come up with anything that I can make look profitable by backtesting and optimising. It will take me less than 1 day to come up with a system to do this and I know enough about writing code and have enough contacts to produce this. I will do it all anonymously and will not promote it on here but I know that someone will start a thread about it, probably an affilate and I will just sit back and watch. I will then pull the product and after enough time has lapsed I will own up.
This literally is money for nothing.
