That said, changing the settings can get better results.

The developer should be more honest and remove the stop on backtesting. I wouldn't recommend this EA to anyone who can't do their own backtesting.

p.s. Please don't ask for the decompiled ea.

I dont have a problem with that!
I can make anything happen on back tests - it can be instructed to skip certain days/hours in history where it took some losers (e.g. the NFP Fridays etc)
But the serious point is that different settings will often be needed for a 'good' backtest or forward running on a demo account than will be optimum for live account...
The author seems to be very keen on showing forward running results
FWIW
