to have a guaranteed daily profit will really be shady and i do suspect his is just a simple HYIP investment. Theres no such thing of a so-called robot will make trades for you.
1.2% per day not high? It's almost 440% on a yearly basis, which should instantly trigger alarm bells.
HYIP's are scams. If you participate in them, regardless of the fact that you accept to potentially lose money, you are just as shady, because you are financially incentivizing these scams to continue.
If you want to expose yourself to risks and potentially a big reward, and accept the risk of potentially losing your initial sum, use a tiny bit of your funds to open a leverage position and speculate on a rise or decline, much better than filling up the pockets of scammers. The difference is that with HYIP's the odds of losing are like 99% while speculating on the price is a 50/50 matter. Much better deal, no?
