Hi,
Personally I have only paid for one EA. It delivers what it promises. But then again, it does not promise more than every experienced trader would expect from a robot. I do not want to discuss this EA here (or any commercial EA for that matter). I'll leave that for our upcoming review initiative.
You can purchase a robot which servers drinks, vacuums floors etc. But it will never replace a real butler. Not that I have ever had a real butler, but I'm still pretty sure I'm right...

Subject: Re: [MT_E and I] EA's to list on a group Black List
Wow -- lots of you out there really agree on the necessity of a black list -- we've all been burned too many times.
I really want the Black List to be implemented right to make it very easy to add to, and especially to consult before buying anything. I really don't have the knowledge to do this in other than a crude way. Is there any expert out there to insure that it is done right the first time? I've been a user and creator of many yahoogroups over the years, but I don't recall seeing anything similar to what we really need here done anywhere else -- else I would just copy it as I hate to invent anything new when there was already a satisfactory solution already in existence.
One thing I see as important. Obviously producers of for-sale EAs and other Forex systems won't like this, and will try to stop it. And I don't want any of them to try and sue or even threaten to sue anybody for libel somehow. So I think contributions should be by people who bought the product, and feel burned by it, and want to give their professional opinion on it which is their constitutional right to do under our free speech laws.
A contributor should not be the producer of a competitive product trying to bad mouth their competition either directly or through a fake shill either. I've seen that on Forex Bastards, aka Forex Peace Army these days.
So let's do this right the first time, with the right set of guidelines for contributors to both protect them, and to make it worth while for the rest of us to use.
And maybe to be perfectly fair and balanced, we need a matching White List to include items reported by users which were good, rather than bad. Maybe there won't be too many, but why not have it planned for.

If enough other's agree, maybe we can get our moderator to set up a Black List (fraudulent EAs) in our files section, to which we can all contribute our "disappointments" with EAs we have bought and paid for.

I think that is a great idea. It would help everyone in the group. There is already so much to learn and process, we don't need to waste time sorting out the fraud, too.

This is another one I bought only to find it quickly loses all the capital funds in your account (demo for me of course). I contacted their support three times, but it was totally wasted to even bother.
I think we need a black list of EA frauds perpetrated upon unsuspecting people who fall for slick marketing (like unfortunately I did). It could be in our files section.

Don't bother testing Doubleplay. I did it.
For sure you'll lose a lot of money.
