I like EA's though its rare to find one that i can really get behind.. Im a big DD guy.. I stay away from it best i can.. So when i see EA's that can make 100000% a month-- but have even larger % DD's i stay clear.. Give me a smaller % monthly with less risk and im happy..

I think there are Forex brokers that at least offer financial outlook, technical and market news and the like for free. It is sort like giving advise to a trader which trades to make. What a trader should do is to just analyze and interpret the data and information presented. There are brokers who do it every day while others do it per week.

Well,I wish you goodluck and good learning in your forex trading.Hope we can interact more often as we progress our learning.

Thanks. I wish the same for you. Good luck.

 

I never tried to trade using an EA but soon maybe I will. As of now I am trading manually and trading manually really helps me a lot how to trade well and not just depend on EA.

I agree.Manual trading will help us practice our trading skills.It helps us enhance our trade decision-making and analyze our own trading strategy.

 

No

Only Manual ..

Because it should be done step by step. And live account and EAs are the last steps of learning, not the first ones.

Here is just one quote :

"The average individual foreign-exchange-trading victim loses about $15,000, according to CFTC records" according to The Wall Street Journal.[SUP][3][/SUP] The North American Securities Administrators Association says that "off-exchange forex trading by retail investors is at best extremely risky, and at worst, outright fraud."[SUP][4][/SUP]

"In a typical case, investors may be promised tens of thousands of dollars in profits in just a few weeks or months, with an initial investment of only $5,000. Often, the investor’s money is never actually placed in the market through a legitimate dealer, but simply diverted – stolen – for the personal benefit of the con artists."[SUP][5][/SUP]

What are the odds that a newbie that starts straight away with a live account and an EA promising richness will avoid the "loses about $15.000" group?

Thanks for your informative feedback.

 

No I do not find helpful EA in trading. They do not develop trading skills in any trader. They make them dependent . We just wait what EA will do we can not use our own abilities to change trading decisions. I mostly avoid trading with EA's.

 

Yes I highly prefer using EA strategies. I started live trading as a complete amateur so this was my only guidance. I won’t say all strategies from all softwares are profitable, but some are highly reliable. I can surely say this about FinPro’s trading software. I have been using their EA for the past 2 years now. And the results have been good. I make regular and consistent profits without much risk and effort as I have identified the best strategies. So now I just put them on and wait.
