Bear Vs Bull is a breakout scalper that trades around the support and resistances levels on a relatively high time frame (H4). It uses pending stop orders at the entry levels and is desiged to trade GBPUSD, EURUSD, AUDUSD and USDJPY.
Our opinion
Interestingly, this is a rare case where the impressive live account performance is actually better than the backtests with real spread and execution delay. Possible reasons could be a better spread compared to the Dukascopy backtest data and better execution. However, since the live account only uses micro lots it is hard to judge whether such a strategy will also work on larger lot sizes. For the low price of the EA it might be worth a try.Live performance
