A 100% win rate only attracts newbies. For the more experienced traders it is much more about the overall drawdown within any trade and within all trades. So he should post the max intraday and intratrade drawdowns too, if he wants to be serious. Because it is easy to have multiple orders with a low profit target and no kind of stoploss to be filled at 100% win rate. Some years ago I had a similar trading system developed, but is about the drawdowns that occur in between which makes the music and not the win rate only! He should post his equity curve not on closed trades but over a time scale with full intraday/intra the trades drawdown too!
The problem with those extra high win rate systems is, that you can do this only when you right with the overall trend of the underlying instrument (I know this for sure because I also had similar trading systems developed some years ago). If that main trend changes where the strategy is built on, then this will have problems causing many open huge drawdown trades which will wipe out the whole account. So as long as the main overall trend as time frame for this designed trading system does not change it can work, but if the trend changes the account is gone. That why he should post any open drawdowns in his trades too.
I also know how to get those trading systems with that high win rate. You only need to optimize parameters with a fitness curve which minimze drawdowns BUT on closed trades. But the correct optimization would be minimze drawdowns on full intraday/intra trades drawdowns. Then you usually do not get those 100% win rate systems anymore. I know this for sure because I also made the same mistake long time ago when designing (algo/systematic) trading systems.
