I bought this EA early 2022 when it was just launched, the main purpose was to "cure" the high DD in my account. After completing the purpose of running it back in 2022, I didn't use it until just recently saw the live signal from author, not only it functions for recovery as the name suggests, but also trading like a normal EA. In short, this EA runs for recovery and normal trading for profit. For those who likes active trading EA, this could be your favorite EA. Not to forget mentioning: the author is supportive with quick response to answer Qs.
