anyone tried realbacktesting's guardian ftmo swing bot?

hey folks, i stumbled across this new bot called realbacktesting Guardian FTMO Swing on the cTrader marketplace. it’s being advertised as fitting for prop firm trading with supposedly consistent returns and low drawdown. caught my eye because it claims to handle stop losses well and avoids overtrading. they're selling it for 160 bucks, which isn’t pocket change.
the profit factor is listed at 1.49 and the max balance drawdown is at 3.43%. seems conservative enough, but i'm always a bit skeptical with stuff like this. numbers can look good on paper, but something always feels different in a real money environment, right? has anyone here actually tested it out yet, ideally with real funds? curious if it lives up to the low drawdown claims.

haven't personally pulled the trigger on this bot yet, but i've seen it mentioned a few times in other forums. from what i've gathered, those numbers like the profit factor and drawdown can be a bit misleading if not viewed in context. especially with bots, it's like, they might perform well under specific conditions used in backtests, but real-world trading is a whole different beast. i’d be cautious with relying on it for prop firm challenges without testing it on demo first. maybe you could try running it alongside a strategy you're already comfortable with to see how it stacks up without risking too much. just some thoughts.
