Ryan Personal Powerhouse (low risk) Discussion
TL;DR: Steer clear!
I lost thousands using this EA. After looking closely to the orders history, the trading logic became obvious: quick, tiny wins are taken immediately and losing positions are left to run for hours or days in the hope that price wanders back. That isn't robust risk management - it's deferred loss!
Position sizing and order placement show classic Martingale/Grid behavior. Martingale escalates lot size after losses to "win it back", which drives risk up exponentially and ends in a single catastrophic hit. Grid layers orders against an adverse move to average down, which looks smooth in a range but creates unbounded drawdown the moment a trend persists. The equity line rises on closed winners while the true risk sits offscreen as a growing, floating loss.
This design relies on mean reversion and cheap carry. When the market trends without relief, financing costs build, usable margin shrinks, and the compounding position size turns a normal move into a terminal event. That's why the history shows months of modest gains followed by the occasional account-crushing month.
These aren't robust strategies. I learned this at real cost.
My advice: steer clear!

This person also left this same comment on the Responsible Forex Trading TrustPilot review page. This comment there was removed by truspilot because it was labeled as "Not a genuine experience". I believe this message was posted by one of the owners over at Techberry.online. I created an investigation video about Techberry and they have been attacking me and my business in response.
Here is the video I posted about them...
