Pricing
The fee structure is performance-based with the performance fee ranging from 36% for an investment of $3000 to $5000 to 25% for investments of $150000 to $250000. As per the vendor info, the leverage needed starts from 1:50 up to 1:500 or greater leverage. In general, the performance fee reduces with a higher investment amount. When compared to the average fee structure of competitor services, the price quoted here looks expensive.
How it works
For using this service, a customer should have a minimum of one year of experience in investing or trading and the recommended minimum deposit is $3000. To use the service, you have to choose a recommended broker that satisfies the margin and strategy requirements of the company. The next step is the funding of the account and completing the investor form. After you fulfill the requirements like furnishing your MT4 credentials and signing an e-agreement, the service will start managing your account.
Trading strategy
There is no mention of the strategy used for this system. This is very disappointing. Instead, the vendor informs that the strategy is customized based on the risk tolerance level of the investor. The vendor mentions some important requirements such as a leverage of 1:500 for accounts with funds less than $40000 and unlimited open positions. You need to allow hedging and use of lot sizes of 0.01. With the specified lot sizes the company will be able to manage the risk more efficiently.
Trading results
The vendor provides a live trading result verified by the FXBlue site. Here is a screenshot of the GBP account that started in May 2021 with a deposit of £70000.
From the trading stats, a total profit of 53.2% is present with monthly and weekly returns of 19.2% and 4.3%. The peak drawdown is -6.0% and the profit factor is 2.48. A risk to reward ratio of 9.69 is present which is very high considering that this is an account using conservative risk. From the low profit factor and risk to reward ratio, it is clear that the strategy used is not effective and is of the high-risk category.
Customer reviews
We found one user review for the company on the Forex Peace Army site. Here is a screenshot of the feedback:
From the review, it is clear that the company uses high-risk strategies that endanger your account.
September 2021
For an unknown reason, the devs decided to rebrand their product and change some information in their presentation to represent us a new Alphi system. The devs claim that with Alphi we can get 9-12% of monthly return trading with a low drawdown of 10%. The recommended brokers are FBS, LMFX, EagleFX, HugosWay or CedarFX.
