As a rule of thumb if an indicator looks fantastic and finds all the winning trades you can bet that it re paints.
I like many others have spent the weekend in the BMW showroom only to be disappointed on Monday morning.

The best way to make an indicator unrecognizable is to use arrows or colored bars in the subwindow like the Nihilist BS on Forex Factory. I remember a two colored bars indi mladen and another member discussed on TSD what it could be. It was sold for 2,500 or 3,000$. I don't find it anymore. It was a simple EMA50 slope indicator with binary colored bars.

Hands off indis with strange or promising names or else you face reality like this guy on forex factory in thread of a renamed repainter (I guess everyone of us knows such situations )

Screenshot including chat with their sales operator.
