Gold Butterfly Scalper Pro - mix of trend following and counter trend system
Gold Butterfly Scalper Pro EA is a profitable combination of trend following and counter trend systems with reasonable risk and without the use of dangerous trading algorithms such as arbitrage, grid, martingale. But the EA is limited in choosing a trading asset only by the XAUUSD (Gold) pair - these are the developer's recommendations. From which follows the name of this bot.

Trading algorithm of the EA
According to the developer, this Gold Butterfly Scalper Pro is looking for the main trend, enters the market based on volatility and an artificial intelligence algorithm (oh, this artificial intelligence, it is everywhere) to predict the likely future trend. All trades are covered by Stop Loss and Take Profit in a ratio of 1: 1 (can be changed in the settings).
Testing
I could not find information about this robot either on MyFXBook or on FXBlue, except for one from the well-known Russian forum of traders:
But here it is too early to draw any conclusions, only a few months have passed since the start. It can only be seen that the EA does not trade often.
My backtests
Backtesting was performed for the time period 2003.05.05 - 2021.01.18
Fixed Lot 0.01
Auto Lot, Risk = 1
Auto Lot, Risk = 3
Auto Lot, Risk = 5
Auto Lot, Risk = 7
Please note that backtests are performed with a modeling quality of 99.0% thanks to a wonderful software called Tick Data Suite. Today this is the only possible and fastest way to achieve 99% quality of modeling in MT4.
Tick Data Suite - Powerful, Accurate, Easy to use!
As you can see, the EA is successfully passing the 18-year backtest. At the same time, the maximum drawdown does not exceed 23% at Risk = 7 (but at Risk = 5, the maximum drawdown was 38.69%).
Based on testing, I can recommend a minimum deposit of 1000 USD or 1000 USD cents with a fixed lot or with a small risk up to 3.
The robot does not make trades often, so do not worry if the Golden Butterfly does not open a single position within a few days. For a better idea of the trading style of this Expert Advisor, you can watch this video:

In conclusion, I can say that Gold Butterfly Scalper Pro EA can be considered as a good addition to your trading portfolio. But don't expect lightning profits from it - this is a long-term advisor. Therefore, be sure to install it on a Free VPS server for a stable and uninterrupted network connection.
This is important without this the EA will not work: EA has a license protection bypass library (msimg32.dll), which must be copied to the root folder of the terminal, usually on disk C. As shown in the screenshot:
Perhaps your PC's antivirus will try to delete this file, mistaking it for a virus. But do not be alarmed - it is safe and does not threaten the protection of your computer. Just add the msimg32.dll file to the exceptions for your antivirus.
Also, the archive with the files of the advisor is password protected for safe transmission over the network. Password ➜ FXProSystems.com
