Happy Trend Review

Happy Trend is a system that works with several indicators, including CCI, ATR, WPR, and news filter. The dev claims that it is particularly designed to meet the needs of both beginner and experienced traders. What’s more, the vendor claims that the EA can trade on any account provided that the user has the Metatrader application. 

Happy Trend was written by Happy Forex, a company famously known for developing Forex solutions for this market. Although it came into this market about 6 years ago, its location and professionals on board are still a mystery.

Happy Trend Trading strategy tests

The system works on highly volatile markets using the news filter. As per the vendor, it initiates a single pair at a time while applying money management and trying to capture the right trend movement. Dynamic SL/TP levels along with accurate market entries are applied.  

According to this strategy tester report, Happy Trend traded on the EURUSD from January 2020 to December 2020. This is such a short trading period to capture a wide variety of market conditions. 

Moving on, the system conducted 181 trades on the H1 chart with a deposit of $1000. Consequently, revenues worth $241.09 were generated. The win rates for short positions were 85.25%, while those for long ones were 81.67%. From the 6.48% drawdown made, it is apparent that the EA didn’t trade dangerously. 

Happy Trend real trading results

There is a big contrast between the drawdown generated in the live market and the backtest period. As you can see on the account above, the EA has made a large drawdown of 34.78% in just six months of trading live. What does this tell us? Well, the strategy on board is innately risky. So, we now have a negative profit value (-$256.57) and a negative total gain (-25.66%). The remaining balance is $743.43, down from $1000. 

The system has implemented 368 trades, and the resulting profit of 0.67 depicts Happy Trend as a loser robot. Also, the average loss (-33.29 pips) is strikingly higher than the average win (3.42 pips). This means that the system is 9 times more likely to suffer a loss than generate a profit for the user. The win rates for long (84%) and short positions (88%) are above average, though. 

Different currency pairs, small lot sizes (0.04), and short time frames are applied in trading. There are no stop losses or take profits attached. 

February is the only unprofitable month this year. 

The account may not survive for long. 

Customer reviews

Although the vendor of this system has been reviewed by customers on both the FPA and Trustpilot platforms, none mentions Happy Trend. So, we are still in the dark regarding the kind of experience it gives users.
