Risk factors: Weekend gaps, calendar news, breaking news

NightVisionEA is a night scalping EA that trades mostly around the end of the American session. However, some of the backtests, like the one for USDCAD, also show a few trades during the European session. Judging from the visual MT4 tester, the EA seems to be using a bollinger band indicator for entry signals (probably combined with additional filters). 

Some of the pairs only open trades Friday and Monday, so the weekend trading is a great part of the total profit. In backtests weekend gaps are also a often a source of over-optimization because small changes in entry filters determine whether or not a trade is entered on Friday, which can potentially lead to large differences in profit if there is a weekend gap. Friday trading can be disabled via the settings. Then the total profit of the portfolio backtest is almost 40% smaller, but the backtests still look good. We added backtests without Friday trading to the set of backtests below (only for version 4.0).

Our opinion

The backtests look really good and the live performance so far is also great. However, it does not offer additional protection via a news filter and much of the backtest profit was done by opening trades on Fridays, which means that there is an increased risk of larger losses due to weekend gaps. Additionally, the occurence of a few trades outside of the typical night scalper hours should be explained in the EA description. But for those, who are willing to take the risk, NightVision EA might be a good addition to the EA portfolio with conservative risk settings.
