    pipsquick1957, before labeling as pile as bullshit anything you don't understand, please take the time to 'read the manual'. Crescendo is not your typical EA, and since you say you have 10 years of experience, one would have expected you to have figured that out.

Good thing you got a refund, that's why money back guarantees are for. Just please don't spread misinformation by posting reviews like this.

Yes, results can be totally different between brokers, because of the price feed and broker time, among other things (like the ton of settings that you probably are unaware of).

Yes, there was a manual trade, among those that led to the DD in Oct 2010 - if you would have bothered to read the blog post you would have seen it was no attempt to deceive anyone, it was a real trade opened by mistake. You can check the history and see it was closed at a different time than the basket, which indicates it was not closed by the EA.


Yes, there is a stop loss, it's exactly that 30% DD you can set - myfxbook is at fault here by not properly calculating the floating DD, so the DD listed is the closed orders DD.

The EA cannot even trade EURUSD (up to the current version, it only trades GBPUSD and GBPJPY), so you obviously have no idea what you are talking about - and if it was a typo on your side, and you meant GBPUSD, that still shows how carelessly written your review was.

Peace,

First of all I did indeed read all of the manual and just about every post on the blog, and did much forward/back testing with the V1.2/V1.3 versions, so dont tell me that it was something that I didnt understand because its quite obvious that you dont know what the hell you are talking about.

 Believe what you want to believe but there was no misinformation on my part. He was running this V1.2 on a dedictaed server for many months, and if you want to believe that all of a sudden he put on a trade by mistake to completely screw up a valid forward test, then you are a big dreamer and cant see the big picture here. And even so the EA should have closed all of the open positions at the default 30% DD, but he manually intervened to save face.

 The EURUSD pair that I mentioned I was using to illustrate what would happen if the market moved 2000 pips in one big trend, but you obviously couldnt add 2+2 and really understand what I was saying.

 I am not going to spend anymore time talking about this Crescendo EA, I gave my opinion as what had happened over the course of 2 months or so, and thats all she wrote as they say. All bullshit aside here, the bottom line is that its a HIGH RISK EA because any normal trader in this world would never risk more than lets say 5% of his account balance at any time, let alone risking 30% as per the default setting on the Crescendo EA.

  So if you are a big fan of the Crescendo EA and that high risk style suites you, and you find PEACE as your motto says, then trade the hell out of it. But you are probably better off trading 'Fly On The Wall' at Zulu which is a high risk/no losses signal provider that has been averaging about +1600 pips per month for 35 months now trading the GJ pair only, and thats where all of the big money($14.5 million to be exact) is trading on there live accounts at Zulu.

I see very negative opinions here. My experience was just the opposite: I found the developer very open and honest, and the EA was the first that I understood what it does in detail (i.e. the logic programmed into it), and was able to semi-manually trade with it (i.e. make it trade according to the ideas I had about where prices are going to go next, saving me from having to watch the market).
