Experience Using Sniper MACD
After placing Sniper MACD on my charts, I closely watched it.... because I don’t trust anything that promises daily profits from the get-go. Honestly, it didn’t completely disappoint nor did it surprise me with its performance.The robot seems to handle market fluctuations with moderate efficiency, but don’t expect it to make decisions almost as good as a seasoned trader. It follows its code, which, while not entirely foolish, isn’t particularly brilliant either.
Our friend faithdefender pointed out the lack of red and blue signals that were shown in the promotional material. This could be a dealbreaker for some, but hey, nothing’s perfect, right?
