hi Cynthia,

We received from one of your folks on an e-list of yours a free maestro for demo running on many brokers there, and it is starting to do fine, however there remains questions and confusions thus far, so in hopes you want to monitor said multi-broker

runnings (good service of pipcop.com, "James" there) we hope you join as a pipcop member and as an EA Rep (he'll give you green ID for your selected handle if you ask, ........maybe not too as you're not the author, but oh well, you'll be known as Rep for this product).
Here is that thread where if you promptly scroll down further than first apparent publishing window of maestro's demo operation you'll set it on other brokers as well! :-) Hope you can participate so you can give a good Rep showing of this product, thanks!:
http://www.PipCop.com/forums/previous-robot-reviews/154-scam-theforexmaestro-com-maestro-robot-review.html

I post this letter on end of that thread.
Thanks ahead for your help Cynthia, we are always anxious and hopeful of decent EA's over here! :-)

Pipcop,
I notice that the EuroOrient running is not doing similarly as the other brokers, and upon further observation I see it is 5-digit, so there may need to be parameter adjustment

or .......hmmmmm, (thinking) .......back to my trash bin pipcop! LOL I recall there was also a 5-digit .set file which I didn't think you were going to need, so I go try to dig in the garbage!

Hey, you're right. I hadn't noticed that. I'll change the settings right now. Thanks!

maestro is a repackaged FREE ea by the name of 'Firebird v63D' which is a couple of years old and freely available on several forums. probably they did not even took the effort to replace the text string in the ea.
HATE these marketeers, pulling some ea from the net (good or bad) , build a fancy salespage and start pulling money from the innocent/inexperienced/unaware websurfer.

In many forums is said it wipes out your account as soon as trend

reverses, but i have not tested it myself.

i think there are even newer breads of the 'Firebird' ea

**PipCop** · 2009-02-26, 06:50 PM

That is what it is starting to look like, based on reports from people. If that is the case, I'll mark it as so. However, I am more interested in the performance of the robot for now, so the review will continue. Perhaps it has been updated ... perhaps not.

Now, if anyone chooses to run ANY robot which is under review here on the site prior to it being approved, then they are taking a major risk and deserve to lose their money. ALWAYS perform your due diligence, ALWAYS risk no more money than you can afford to lose, and ALWAYS remember that greed usually leads to failure.

Patience!

Hi! Does anybody know about the advanced version? Where to get it? Since Maestro is really a clone of Firebird than how do you get the "advanced version" with the trailing stop feature? It should be available for free. How much are is the site trying to sell it for?

hmmm, looks like some kind of grid performance with all those open trades eh? hmmm, not so NN as some site for Maestro seemed to try to promo, eh? hmmmm. Not sure gonna be happy 'bout this one either folks. She would have to pass that on as freebie, shoulda known!

Did someone say they like EA's that "if they don't trade very often but do well in proportion to losers, that then is a good one"? Did you say that pipcop? Just happen to remember that utterance from someone. Well, Invisibile_fx_Landscape is doing that kind of thing. One trade, on average, every few days, but only does small losers or medium to larger wins. (sneaking in a little early PR, which may or may not be warranted as I only started to do live$ runnings, frankly)
