Built by a small Italian team, the bot exploded in popularity.
Turns out robots can trade, too. A new AI trading bot reportedly flipped a $3,200 investment into $14,158 in just one week, with the receipts to prove it, according to verified trading records and third-party data from MyFxBook.
The story doesn’t end with the initial success. Starting from July 2025, with a $1,000 investment, the bot once again stunned traders. By December 2025, it earned a profit of $5,600 — an astonishing 560% gain over the 5-months period.
Skepticism was expected... and honestly, deserved.
Sure, there are glowing reviews online and even Forbes published a piece about the system. We skipped the usual suspects like Trustpilot and Reddit. They’re anonymous and packed with spam, affiliate noise and drama that drowns out anything useful.
So we looked at people who actually use it. Real reviews, long-form breakdowns, no fluff. That includes a deep dive by trading bot analyst David Burnett, a 30-day performance review published on Medium by financial writer Jeanne P. Frahm, and an investigative video report from the YouTube channel "Trading Bot Talks".
Across the legit reviews, one thing kept coming up: the bot made steady gains — as long as users steered clear of the high-risk modes. One early user pulled in $580 their first week using the most conservative settings, calling it "slow, but solid".
The robot uses AI to track market trends and trade automatically. Users can choose how aggressive it gets, from slow and steady to fast and chaotic.
Our $1,500 Test
Since our headline promised an investigation, it felt incomplete without risking a little capital ourselves.
I purchased the software, downloaded MetaTrader 5 and I was ready to embark on this adventure.
The bot setup wasn't perfect; I (the author) accidentally loaded it onto the wrong currency pair initially—a rookie error—before figuring out the correct settings from their documentation. It was simple, but not entirely plug-and-play for a non-expert.
The Test: We funded a small account with $1,500 and, following the team’s advice, chose the conservative mode. Frankly, my expectation was a $50 loss just to prove a point.
For the first four days, it was boring.
The P&L (Profit and Loss) was up and down, hovering near break-even. I kept checking my phone every five minutes. The total gain after 96 hours: $41.22. I was slightly underwhelmed. Where was the ridiculous profit?
The Aggressive Temptation
I decided to allocate a portion of the profit to a high-risk test. I took $500 of the original investment and moved it to the bot's maximum aggressive setting. I’ll admit, seeing the potential for a 300% weekly return made me nervous, and I told my editor I was just doing it for the article.
The change was immediate. The trades came fast and furious. The account balance started flickering rapidly. It was stressful, maybe even irresponsible, but the results were undeniable.
Over the next three days, the conservative $1,000 portion grew by another $25, slow and steady. But the aggressive $500 portion shot up to $920. A near-double in three days.
Aggressive mode is where things get ridiculous. We’ve seen the bot take $1,000 and turn it into over $50,000 in about a month. In longer runs, $5,000 has grown into $247,000 — and no, we didn’t believe that at first either. But when it’s trading constantly, grabbing small profits over and over, the compounding starts to stack up in a way that looks almost fake.
It’s not magic. Aggressive mode is also where people get burned. Fast. It’s responsible for the biggest gains and the angriest reactions. If you push the settings too far, the bot won’t save you.
That’s why the team keeps hammering the same point in their docs and videos: start slow. Try different trading styles. Don’t go full throttle on day one and expect a miracle. Because it might make you 300% — or it might nuke your account.

"Setup Takes Minutes... And You’re Not Left Hanging"
The bot’s gained serious traction — over 10,000 downloads so far — and users claim it’s "generating millions" in total profits. Still, even with the hype, its long-term future is anyone’s guess.
The bot’s performance is just one more sign that AI isn’t just reshaping how we invest — it’s already doing it. Funds Remain With the User’s Broker, Not the Bot Developer
There have been rumors of a large US-based hedge fund expressing interest in acquiring the algorithm. As of today, the software is still available for sale at galileofx.com
What’s truly impressive about this trading bot is its combination of simplicity and power.
For anyone short on time or patience, the bot comes with preset configurations that require zero tinkering. Users can load the software with ease and start trading automatically almost immediately, a testament to the bot’s user-friendly design.
After the advancements made by AI like ChatGPT, this development seems like the logical next step. Its performance capability is as staggering as the ease with which it can be used.
Expect to pay somewhere between $750 and $1,900, depending on the package. One-time fee, without sneaky subscription traps.

But can it out perform Congress? 😅
I hope everyone remembers Long Term Capital. Everything worked great - until it didn’t.
Maybe it has found a way to track how key congresspeople trade...
Quite a few years ago some clever guy set up an internet stock picking contest.
Jim Cramer’s picks were compared to those of “Leonard the Wonder Monkey”. Leonard was actually a computer program that picked stocks completely at random.
Leonard won. He didn’t win by much. But he won.
Hurray for Leonard! Hurray for random AI!
👍🏻🐒
My cats can outperform Congress. And they are honest.;-)
It’s AI why does it need to be paid ? LOL
I looked at the site. They want my email address to continue...
“The robot uses AI to track market trends and trade automatically.”
so it utilizes the herd principle instead of fundamental analysis of value and projected growth ...
the minute too many people jump on that particular AI bandwagon, it’ll collapse ...
“They want my email address to continue”
so? ... just gen up another fake email account ... i have tons of ‘em just to keep my real accounts pure ...
AI is not artificial or intelligent
Is it Legal ?
I gave them yours
With AI, I am able to do the work of a team of human analysts and I don't have to pay them.
I am a long-term investor and, using AI, I am seeing returns way above 50% per annum. Your mileage may vary depending on how stupid your questions are.
Last year, one Freeper's question was, "Just make me rich."
That prompt didn't work out.;-)
Automated trading is the future - problem is we will never get access to the kind of predictive power the big institutions will have. I’ll give MetaTrader a shot, why not?
I see this as the way people step into an AI job market. Instead of working, we become shareholders of robots and robot companies.
What could go wrong when a hundred AI data centers dominate the stock, bond, and commodity markets?
Systems like this end up trading on their own data as they become the larger part of the system. That’s when they go kerblooey..
,,, it will be when IRS work out who's using it and, accordingly, send their assessments.
thank you for the post
