Cairo Strategy Tests
Although the vendor claims that the robot does not use any risky or dangerous trading strategies, he fails to provide a detailed explanation of the trading strategy the Cairo robot applies. It is disappointing. Lack of transparency is not a good sign for this EA.

The robot is too young to say something for sure. Nevertheless, this robot shows potential. Although the dev failed to provide trading strategy details, we’ve found that Cairo applies a risky approach for trading.
The robot does not come with a money-back guarantee. Moreover, pricing is too high and constantly grows. So, it’s your choice to invest in this EA or not. As for us, we’ll monitor the trading performance of this robot for the next 3 months.
It will help us to gather much information about the reliability and accuracy of this trading system.
