another 'balanced' bot, they said

So, I took the dive into the depths of the cTrader market again, and guess what washed up on the shore? btc TSM, another bot promising "consistent returns" with a side of low drawdown. Supposedly, it integrates EMAs to keep it 'balanced'—because that never goes south, right? A month in demo, and yes, it delivered a delightful ROI of 16.8% (cue sarcastic applause), but let's talk about that 18% drawdown that tried to sneak past quietly. For 250 bucks, it’s alllllmost like buying my skepticism a new coat. Anyone else feel like the past is ghostwriting these scripts?
