Bitcoin Robot - Exact same trades on any timeframe?!

[Chris Page]

Hi, I've been using automated algo trading fulltime for years (though pretty new to MetaTrader).  I'm backtesting a demo of "Bitcoin Robot" and I'm seeing something I've NEVER seen before: the EXACT same trades no matter WHAT candle timeframe I specify.

M5? M15? H1? D1?  All the IDENTICAL 406 trades for 2024 YTD.

So, being a bit cynical, I would look at that and say that the trades are HARDCODED in the bot for epic backtest results, and frequent new "releases" means nothing more than the author adding more recent hardcoded trading history so the bot continues to "backtest" well.

So, assuming the bot is not a complete scam, how can an EA return the identical trades using ANY candle timeframe?  What am I missing?

Thanks in advance.

So HA, seeming to confirm the HARCODED BACKTEST TRADES theory is that the current release, released Nov 14 2024, only produces trades up through Nov 13 2024 (it is now Nov 19)!!

See attached screenshot.

Is this the norm on the market here? What am I missing?
