The Use of EAs

my advice will be to do manual trading .I have seen many experienced traders across many forums who did both manual trading as well as using EA's and always came up with a conclusion that manual trading is more profitable than EA's . One cant fully rely on some bots trading for them cause a bot cant see what a human mind can see.

Also there hasnt been any EA that has been profitable in the long run. All those Fab Turbos ,Sharks or Million Dollars Pips stop giving any more profits cause markets dont remain the same while the EA's dont have the ability to change themselves according to market conditions..

Thanks Ammon for the reply. What you said about robots is true. From my personel account they mostly fail to adapt to the markets. Drawdown can be a problem which in tern means u have to watch the buggers.

I am running one Ea that gives consistent win loss ratios 12/3. Let you know how things go on my live account over the next 3 mths. I've also got 2 robots on a VPS all the time. One is news sensitive. So I tick the box, you guessed it. Its not traded on the upgrade.for 3weeks. .

I will only let you know the names after a rigorous testing.

So it's back to the charts and price movement , volume ,Fibs , money management ect. I take on board your advice of swing trading. Grats

I've spent 6 mths now to get this far. What do you think About USD if economy put under more pressure.? The last 3yrs of QE and Euro it's been a Global QE .

i'd like to know the performance of your EA's for the next 3 months ..i personally dont trust in them though..:D

i read a report on Bloomberg today which stated the USD is forecasted to go high. The S&P 500 made its 5 years high last week and is now on course towards its all time high (1565 zone) ...To me the near future of USD seems bright.

im not a guru of the market bt this is what i think..

There is absolutely no reason (apart for the intellectual limits and programming capabilities of the typical commercial EA vendor) why a strategy can't be made to adapt to changing market conditions.

 

From the A.I. sophistication of genetic algorithms and neural nets to the simple regime switches and volatility filters, there are countless ways to do this . . .

 

If you invest the time to learn about such approaches then find a programmer to implement them for you, you'll probably find you have a far better strategy in hand than anything you can buy from a commercial vendor, and for less expense.

 

Hope that helps.

      Scalping System

      By RJo · Posted

      @sxiqxx, Well done on making your first post a promising strategy. @everyone, post up if you want this coded into an EA. Although I switched to TradeStation, I still have an active MT5 demo with MetaEditor. I can code it without referencing object oriented programming which should be retroactively compatible with MT4. Let me know...

      What are the biggest lessons you have learned in the corporate world?

      By RJo · Posted

      Please allow me to retort (in jest): RESPONSE 1 : Get a job supervising others where you're in control of performance reports and ride those others 100%. This makes your performance 100% with little to no effort.   RESPONSE 2: Feel free to piss off your boss but stay nonviolent. When the side effects of his viagra and testosterone boosters cause him to physically assault you, you have the legal upper hand. This can result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 3: Feel free to have intimate relations with your boss if she finds you attractive. Rest assured that mum's the word because once again, you have the legal upper hand. This can also result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 4: Don't be fake friends with any enemies... unless you need information from them. Being fake friends with everyone will cause you to become an empty shell of a person with no direction in life.   REPONSE 5: Get your boss to become reliant on your performance (really, just the performance of your subordinates), and then plan an "overheard" conversation wherein you fake an interview with another potential employer. You'll probably get a pay increase or a promotion.   RESPONSE 6: If you can give your 75% percent to a project, give 50% and rely on your legal upper hand(s). Learn to write trading algo's during your other 50%.   RESPONSE 7: Take all of the office boys out to nightclub where you merely sip soft drinks on a weeknight. Upon your return to the office in the morning, inform the security guards that all of the office boys are intoxicated. Your boss will love you for it.   RESPONSE 8: Never try to prove your client wrong or find faults in their processes, but do secretly collect their information in case you jump ship or "someone you know" decides to start his own company.   RESPONSE 9: Never stay in a firm for too long. Instead, use your ill-gotten capital to exit the rat-race and start trading.   RESPONSE 10: Trading pays more than your career. Interpersonal skills are now irrelevant. Use your technical skills for trading. Never stop learning and keep updating your technical skills.😁

      Scalping System

      By aimhi · Posted

      Scalping can be good during the high volatile markets however the new traders should be careful while entering and exiting the markets too quickly since they can make losses as well. If the broker support news trading we can make most out of the scalping in my opinion.

      Candlestick for profits

      By aimhi · Posted

      In my opinion these candlestick charts are more easier to understand as compared with the other charts.
