FXCipher is a trading advisor that has a simple and not quite informative presentation. The developers claimed that “One of them has been optimized since 2010 and is highly reliable. The other one has been optimized since 2017, which helped to increase the profitability of the robot.” Let’s see what the differences between versions are.
