The update that landed on 9 November
In an email to members on Monday 9 November 2026, FXAutomater announced a new build of Forex Diamond for download. The release notes name two changes: code optimisation for smoother execution and more consistent performance, and refinements to the system's message logs, described as minor text and syntax adjustments.
The commercial news sits in the same message: prices for existing customers now undercut the public Black Friday prices offered to new buyers, across WallStreet Recovery PRO, WallStreet GOLD Trader, Forex Diamond, Forex Gold Investor, Infinity Trader, Gold Scalper PRO and the rest of the range. Crypto Master EA, listed at $497, comes free with every purchase.
What the expert advisor is
Forex Diamond is an expert advisor for MT4 and MT5, sold by FXAutomater alongside its other systems. The product page describes one EA running three independent strategies, switchable individually or together, with stop-loss and take-profit levels calculated dynamically rather than set by the user.
Around that core sit the protections the vendor emphasises: spread and slippage filters, a drawdown protection panel that caps exposure at a preset equity threshold, trade randomisation for prop firm accounts, and settings that trade long or short positions only. FTMO compatibility is listed among the features.
How the three strategies divide the work
The vendor splits the system into three entries — trend, reversal and short-horizon. The difference between them matters more than the labels do.
The first waits for a strong directional impulse and enters after the pullback, which is a trend trading premise with a timing filter. The second looks for a move to fail at an extreme and positions against it. The third applies reversal logic at short horizons, using scalping to take many small trades where spreads are narrow.
Logic of that kind is range trading with a trigger: it earns while price oscillates inside a range and gives back when the range resolves into a sustained move. That is a structural trade-off, not a defect.
| Strategy | What it trades | Condition it needs |
|---|---|---|
| Secure After Retracement | A directional impulse, entered after the pullback | A move that retraces and then resumes |
| Secure Countertrend | A reversal against the prevailing move | Price failing at an extreme and turning |
| Aggressive Countertrend Scalping | Short-horizon reversals, many small trades | Narrow spreads and fast execution |
What the new build changes, and what it does not
Neither change is structural. Code optimisation and log refinements touch execution plumbing and reporting; they add no strategy, alter no position sizing and replace no risk logic. No parameter-level change log accompanies the announcement, so existing settings should carry over unchanged.
The caution is procedural. A rebuild deserves a fresh run on demo before it trades live, particularly near a prop firm's drawdown limit. Anyone updating with positions open should confirm that the GMT offset, the lot sizing and the drawdown thresholds survived the upgrade.
The evidence, and what it can and cannot show
The email also reports a gain of about 5% on the vendor's live real-money account for the current month. No account is named, no statement is linked and no period beyond "this month" is given, so the figure remains a claim rather than a record.
What can be checked is published elsewhere. The product page links three verified MyFxbook accounts, covering a real-money account, a EURUSD account and an MT5 version. Those pages, not the email, are where the monthly claim can be tested. The same page, consulted on 10 November 2026, publishes 26-year backtests across four pairs; its GBP/USD fixed-lot run reports 82.69% winning trades, a 1.21 profit factor and 3.62% maximum drawdown.
Two limits belong beside those numbers. A backtest is modelling, not execution, and past performance does not predict future results. A high win rate paired with a tiny maximum drawdown is also the profile that most often conceals a large unrecovered loss, which makes the drawdown worth more scrutiny than the profit.
What to verify before paying
The member price is not printed in the email. It sits behind the member offer page, so the comparison worth making is between the checkout price and the public Black Friday price on the product page, which displayed a 70% discount and one bonus expert advisor when the page was checked.
- Confirm which products the reduction covers, and whether the free Crypto Master EA licence includes updates and support.
- Check the refund policy before paying; the email mentions none.
- Test the build on demo with the intended broker, because the scalping component depends on spread and fill quality.
- On a prop firm account, check the firm's rules on automated trading, trade duplication and drawdown before enabling the panel.
- Compare the average trade duration in the MyFxbook records with a swing trading horizon, to see whether the holding period matches the risk taken.
The mechanics above also settle the account question. A system with a scalping strategy is only as good as the spread and the fill it gets, which makes execution part of the strategy rather than an afterthought. IC Markets runs MT4 and MT5 with the VPS-friendly setup automated trading needs, and its Deposit Bonus adds starting margin to an EA account under its own terms. An account can be opened through IC Markets, with the settings tested on demo first.
Updates of this kind are maintenance, and the discount is the actual news. Nothing in the release changes the risk profile of a system trading three strategies on a live account, and nothing in the email substitutes for the published records. The sequence holds: read the statements, test the build, then decide on price.
