In my opinion, for what it's worth, no backtest is accurate. None. Not one. I've tweaked a few robots of my own, and the backtests are wonderful. Then when I forward test them they are crap. Plain and simple, real data trumps backtest data.

As far as trying that robot you suggested? On a demo account, sure. On a live account ... not a chance. I didn't even look at it, but I'll tell you flat out that nothing can convince me to run live on a robot at this point in my testing. I'm serious about waiting to see 6-9 months of positive cashflow, every month. Otherwise it's just a gamble, and I'm an investor - not a gambler.
