Volatility Factor is a volatility-based algorithm that is presented by FXAutomater. The company has many algorithms in the market and makes many promises on the performance. The EA comes with backtesting and live results however the latter is only available on a demo account which does not guarantee good results.
Volatility Factor 2.0 strategies and tests
It is simple to install the algorithm and make it run. The whole process is as follows:
- After you receive the robot, place it in the experts’ directory
- Enable auto trading button on MT4
- Attach it onto the charts to start trading
Strategy explanation
The developer explains the strategy in a complex manner. The whole information is scattered on a single webpage where they explain the risk management and profit-taking functions of the EA. The robot works on EUR/USD, USD/JPY, GBP/USD, and USD/CHF. It trades on the direction of medium-term market impulse and utilizes price oscillations around a certain point. Through the history of Myfxbook, we can see that the robot uses a grid strategy. The developer does not mention this openly on the website. They are hiding the fact that the algorithm implements a risky approach.

Is the Volatility Factor 2.0 robot a scam?
Volatility Factor 2.0 does not present its results through a live account, making it highly risky to invest. Most robots perform well on the demo account but fail on the live as the trading conditions are quite different between real and virtual portfolios.
