Vigorous EA is a trading solution that has a simple and mediocre informative presentation. The robot belongs to the Responsible Forex Trading brand. The presentation could be written better but the devs keep it in this version. They claimed “The Vigorous EA is one of our best EA’s! It has been successfully backtested on 21 years of data. It scalps the EURUSD pair up to 100 times a week and makes a profit EVERY day! If you’re looking for an EA that makes a consistent profit every day, this is it!” It’s time to figure out if it’s true.
Is Vigorous EA good?
We can’t be 100% sure if it’s good or bad. The system provides an average monthly gain of less than 2%. It’s not so much. If something happens it will be recovering for years.
