A user of one of our example robots informed us that a system called 1 Minute Daily seemed to be getting people on the forex forums excited, and asked us to look into it. Apparently, unlike so many other forex trading systems sold through ClickBank these days, this one doesn't come complete with a "robot".

I started the simulation on March 30th 2009, the date the Forex MegaDroid team launched their creation amid great fanfare, and finished it yesterday evening. Here's what the Alpari UK MetaTrader 4 demo strategy tester showed me:

Here at the Trading Gurus we are constantly monitoring the quotes from a wide range of brokers.
