They can be if you use them in conjunction with an edge you already have and realize their limitations. Most algo writers fail to grasp what should be the most basic concept of statistics. Because of this they waste an incredible amount of time, capital, and cycle through loops of failure, never...

Yes one can make a living, but the question is whether one can withstand the long journey of psychological hardship.

Hello OverNight. Also, the zero leverage is "free floating" with no Stops or Targets as cash in a savings account would be and the x14 leveraged account is using SLs and TPs. It won't always be a perfect outcome just multiplying the smaller account by 14. Have a good weekend.

Nice move on Aud/usd, I was surprised it continued up over night.

The first most important is regulation. Second is the integrity of management. Third is the size of your account and whether you can/ have to trade units or lots. If you can only trade lots, you need enough capital to evenly balance your account if diversifying. I.e. if you only have a $500...
