You do the math, its on a 10K demo. All pips posted is on 1 standard lot, so 290 X $10 per pip its 2,900 USD or 29% in about a month.

Max lots traded were 4 with a max drawdown of 90 pips

It all looks like broker manipulation right now, shaking off sellers with a new top then buyers. I've set up limit orders to range trade.
