Over the last 10 years or so I’ve tested many MANY forex robots (EA’s) for MT4 and most of them have been a real disappointment. I post some of my findings on my Youtube channel, where I have a lot of reviews for bots that have ended badly. It, therefore, gives me great pleasure to have tested the Ranger EA as well as the copy trading service, as this one seems to outperform any EA I’ve tested before now. Initially, this post was my Ranger EA review, but since testing this EA, the developer of this bot has since created 3 even better EAs – Powerhouse EA, Comeback Kid EA and Sharpshooter. This is therefore a review of all of the EAs that can be found at Responsible Forex Trading.

Ranger EA Review

Here is my full video review of Ranger EA, including an interview with the developer, Ryan Brown;

Ranger EA is a forex trading robot for MT4 developed by Ryan Brown. Ryan is a full-time trader and has developed over 100 trading bots throughout his trading career. Ranger EA is his most successful trading bot to date and has a proven track record both with backtesting (13 years profitable) and live trading (15 months of live trading results on myfxbook, see below). At the time of writing, this EA is on version 4.2 and has been continually developed and improved for over 6 years. The EA uses GBPCAD and AUDCAD, trading both pairs from the same account and using 2 indicators for the trading parameters. The bot does not trade continually, and it can be a few days between trades, however, the bot will enter a trade whenever the trade parameters are hit, and it will fully manage these trades without the need for any input from the bot owner. This is therefore a completely hands-free EA (although it does require settings up and configuring) and no trading experience is required in order to run this forex robot.

Typically the bot makes about 4.75% return per month, and gains are automatically compounded using Ranger’s built-in money management feature.


Perhaps the best feature of the Ranger EA though is the way the bot manages risk. Although the returns are very good, the robot only trades with a small percentage of the account, meaning risks are relatively low, and this is reflected in the drawdown, in which at the time of writing (Feb 2021) the bot has a DD of just 10.19% from 13 months of trading.

Drawdown Levels

Whilst I’m not a big fan of backtesting forex robots, Ryan has used very good quality modeling data to provide an indication of how the robot would have performed over the last 10 years. It’s encouraging to note that the live trading results Ryan has achieved are the same as those shown in the backtesting result, so they seem to be an accurate reflection of what this forex robot can do. However, I should note that past results are no guarantee of future results and there are no guarantees that the robot will continue to perform at this level over the coming months and years. With that being said, the results shown in the backtesting are impressive;

Backtesting Results

I’m normally not a fan of backtesting results (I’ve seen too many sales pages that have no live trading results and rely on questionable backtesting to “prove” that their EA will be profitable), but Ryan has every tick data to get an accuracy score (according to MT4) of 99.90%. Although I suggest that the results should still be taken with a pinch of salt, the backtest results have been similar to the live testing results so far, suggesting they might be fairly accurate. Keep in mind also that past performance is no guarantee of future performance.

The results of the backtest were impressive.

$1,000 to $1,040,150.08 on AUD/CAD pair over 10 years!

Risks & Limitations

Whilst this EA has posted some impressive results in the past, there are some important risks and limitations that need to be considered.

  • Forex trading is very high risk and 100% of your funds are at risk.
  • The minimum recommended leverage (according to Ryan Brown) is 1:200, which means in many cases the use of a non-regulated broker (regulated brokers often offer only up to 1:30 leverage)
  • The bot has been tested to run on just 2 currency pairs and it is uncertain if it can be run profitably on other currency pairs
  • Past performance can only be used as a guide and in no way guarantees future performance.
  • The software license does not come with a refund or money-back guarantee. Ryan has committed to helping people who are struggling to set up the software, so support is available but no refunds
  • This software is for MT4 only and cannot be used on other platforms (such as mt5)

Brokers

The Ranger EA will work with just about any broker. However, Ryan believes the optimum leverage for the EA is 1:500. Most brokers who offer this much leverage are unregulated and can be hard to find (especially for those living in the USA). Here is a list of brokers that will offer 1:500 leverage (and the countries they will accept);

LQDFX – Unregulated but accepts customers from the USA

FXPrimus – Leverage up to 1:1000 but does not accept customers from USA

Roboforex – Up to 1:2000 leverage (does not accept USA)

FXChoice – Leverage up to 1:200

Discord Group

Ryan runs a public discord group (you don’t need to have purchased any of his forex robots in order to join). Here is the invitation link – https://discord.com/invite/Ryx9sC8jYQ

Is There Support For Getting Setup?

Yes. If you require support from Ryan whilst setting up this forex robot then please use the contact form on his website or contact him via the Discord group.

Responsible Forex Trading Copy Trading Service Review

As mentioned above, this service is provided by Ryan to allow people to utilize both trading strategies (Ranger and Pinpoint) in the same trading account. This works differently than buying the EA’s because you’re not buying a license for the software but allowing the auto trader to run both strategies in your account. The aim is to maximise profits by combining these 2 profitable strategies. There is also the advantage that the copy trading service is charged for a low monthly subscription, meaning it can be tested for just a few dollars, rather than having to buy the EA’s for a few hundred dollars each

SharpShooter EA Review

The sharpshooter EA is one of Ryan’s most successful trading bots. It is a scalper that trades EURUSD currency pairs with incredible accuracy and low drawdown. Just check out the latest trading results for this bot;

https://www.myfxbook.com/members/lilredry/sharpshooter-ea-official/9583393

Key Features of Sharpshooter;

  • The Sharpshooter includes a trade panel that allows you to take manual trades

  • Recommended starting account size is $3k
  • Recommended leverage is 100:1
  • 25-50 scalp trades a week

Powerhouse EA Review

Taking the best elements of all of Ryan’s trading bots, Powerhouse EA combines 5 incredible EA’s into 1 “supercharged” EA. Rather than risking all of the account funds on one strategy, this EA manages risk to trade multiple strategies from the same account, giving a balanced approach that’s effective in all market conditions.

This is probably the most profitable of all Responsible Forex Trading EAs. Here are some of the latest results from live trading accounts;

https://www.myfxbook.com/members/lilredry/powerhouse-ea-med-risk-full/8582909

Comeback Kid EA Review

Whilst The Comeback Kid EA can run on complete autopilot, it is also slightly different from Ryan’s other EAs in that it can also be used in a semi-automated way to assist with manual trading. Customize this bot to suit your own personal trading style and let it help you consistently lock in profits!

https://www.myfxbook.com/members/lilredry/comeback-kid-ea-official/9661850

Key features of The Comeback Kid EA;

  • Can trade the fantastic 5 indicator system shown on complete auto-pilot
  • Has the ability to use an averaging-in flex-grid system focused around key S/R resistance points to recover bad/losing trades. It doesn’t blindly take grid positions. It takes them when the price is most likely to move in your favour!  In our opinion, this is the best way to work a grid system.
  • Includes a fantastic trend trading system that gives you great entry’s after the trend has a pullback
  • Scan your charts 5-10 minutes a day for possible entries. After you take your trade/trades, the EA will handle the rest. It has the ability to close each trade or group of trades in profit/loss based on preference. 
  • The ability to use single-order, multi-order, flex-grid trading money management

  1. How come your trading proof above “Ranger EA V4.1” show negative gain of 97.33% as well as “Pinpoint + Ranger copy trader”? Does it mean the ranger EA is not good?

  3. Dear Jon first of all thank you very much for your videos, i would like to ask you if it is worth it to buy the ranger ea ( i am from Athens Greece) and have it work for some hours every day. Can you tell me when the specific market is open or i must have all day running. I have a laptop for my work. And which broker you suggest, ( do they accept euros)

    thank you in advance

    • Hi George. You need to leave this running 24×5 so all through the week when forex markets are open (not weekends). That is why a VPS is good or you can run it from a pc or laptop as long as you make sure that the device doesn’t go to sleep.
