You see a website designed as a huge advert, run like hell.
Not to mention that in their FAQ they have a Q:"What are futures?" ... lulz...

They say they have a hypothetical track record but i'm betting you that if you look at all the Sells they will be on the High of a bar, and all the Buys at the Low. Very typical for people selling e-mini strats, however, we all know selling the spread isn't realistic unless you're an HFT.

There is software you can buy for about $1K that will build hundreds of such strategies in about one hour. No need to pay for a system that much. But they all fail in real trading because they are selected from a large population of candidate strategies to fir the data best.

My wild guess is he was referring to "Adaptrade builder".
You'd have to have a very robust backtesting method for making any of those strats work though, as the fills can often be (as is usual with any advertised strat) unrealistic with such software. It would also take a significant amount of time to find anything worthwhile as that software is kinda slow.

There's an "advertorial" for something very similar called 'Genetic Builder' in the Apr-Jun '12 'FX Trader Magazine.
