We are warned that the EA lost December 2020. After this, the EA has to be checked attentively for at least half a year.

Price
The robot costs $99 for a copy. There’s a three-month rent option for $60. We can download it for free to check it in the terminal. We can expect to get support via the MQL5, updates, and upgrades. The developer doesn’t provide a money-back guarantee.
Trading Results
There’s an AUD/USD backtest. It was performed on the M30 time frame. It used over 20 years of data (2000-2020 years). The modeling quality was 90%. The spread was 15 pips. An initial deposit was $10000. The total net profit has become $349M. The Profit Factor was 14.53. The robot traded 1532 deals with 95.22% of the win-rate for Short and 87.80% of the win-rate for Long.
Gen X runs a real USD account on the little-used broker – Hugo’s Way. It works automatically by using technical indicators from MT4. The leverage is 1:500. The account has a verified track record. It was created on September 17, 2020. Since then, the absolute gain has become +47.83%. An average monthly gain is +10.85%. The maximum drawdown is dangerous – 33.22%.
As we can see, the drawdown periods are long-term and consistent.
The robot closed only 42 deals with 357 pips. An average win is 46.96 pips when an average loss is -60.73 pips. The Long position win-rate is 69%, Short one – 68%. An average trade length is one day. The Profit Factor is 1.32.
As we can see, only EUR/USD is profitable (462 pips).
The EA focuses on trading mostly during European trading hours.
Tuesday is the most traded day – 11 deals.
The account is run with insane risk to the account balance.
The EA sets the same SL and TP levels. As we can see, the Martingale quite often generates losses.
December 2020 was closed with a huge loss. There was a single deal in January 2021 closed.
People feedback
Customers are completely unhappy with the received trading results.
The robot works unpredictable and can’t make predictable and stable profits.

Conclusion
Gen X is a robot that has been working since September 2020. The last trading results (December 2020) showed that it became a scam because Martingale on the 60% win-rate account is a straight way to blow it. In January 2021, there was a single trade closed. So, we can say that the EA doesn’t work anymore. Paying for this will be a mistake.
