Do I think he would mass market this in this manner? Personally, from what little I do know of him via the "club", I find it very hard to believe that he would allow it - let alone promote it in the fashion that it has been (very "TurboFAP" - "Get rich overnight" kind of pitch) that is so not his style... For as mentioned before, he runs a very tight ship, and keeps his codes and forum and members very well protected... I had to go thru several "sites" and boards to actually find his "main" forum - and then had to pay to join before even seeing the "activity" going on... So, that alone shows you just how protective (or secretive) he is and don't think he'd allow or be involved or approve of this marketing method...
Speaking of which... I didn't see the Maestro site/advert (crap) till after I had posted on this thread... and once I had installed the code (from Page 1 here) and the .set from a different page... and it started trading, I then saw it was indeed "Firebird" in drag...
So, IMHO, there's no question that this person has ripped off Bluto's code and re-packaged it for profit... as there is little documentation - and the fact that they didn't even bother to send the code out to have "Firebird" brand removed from the .ex4/mt4 file proves to me that something fishy is going on....
Or, if you don't believe that theory... "Bluto" has a pretty strong name in the EA world, so, would you not want to "promote" that on your Maestro site to give it some added credibility? (or are they afraid people will trace it back to Bluto and bust them - like we're doing now? LOL)... I think it's a little of both... but again, is just my opinion, as I've not contacted Bluto - yet... but intend to write him this weekend and ask about it.
As to "do they work" or not... I asked PC to see about getting some of his EA's back in SEPT as I offered once to run Jittterbug (demo version) on here, but he refused, as he doesn't allow for EA sharing (which is both fine and proper)... but it was just a demo version... Either way, I tested 2 versions of Firebird, his "Jitterbug" martingale system and one other that was a hybrid of Firebird and JB if my memory serves me... and they all started out "nice"... but soon blew up my demo accounts... Each have their respective quirks, and are completely different in nature... Firebird got allot of praise and buzz in the early days (like version 1.0X) but as it progressed through development, it seemed to not function as well.. There are some that will swear by the original version(s) and still run them today... I have a copy - and would like to see it truly run through it's paces here, or somewhere - forward tested... as I'm done with all the marketing hype and games in the EA world - The list to the left of the page of all the failed bots, shows there are no commercial EA's worth a damn out there... and as I always say, if there is one, we couldn't afford it - and they'd certainly not be selling it for $97 to the masses via these reproduced cheesy marketing/affiliates sites.... If I had the time and money, I'd sue every one of these idiots for false advertising that promotes on YouTube and via the web about these miraculous gains and profits they claim to make... It's all a scam... PC has proven it over and over and over again.... And now, I think he's starting to crack the nut on the "broker" world... and exposing the ugly underbelly that may lie within .... Seems not all brokers are on the up and up either..... Sad world we live in these days...
TMI probably.... but no, I wouldn't recommend any EA - and would not pursue a Bluto membership as there has been nothing "new" out of that camp (that I know of) in the past 10 months...
