    Why I prefer EA's to Manual Trading

    yes, I understand your problem all too well; I think the only solution for you is to become a 'manager' of EA's, letting them run when they are good and cutting them when they start to lose ... and replacing them by other ones ... easier said than done though ...

    Why I prefer EA's to Manual Trading

    I did the search too at one time for automatic trading ... and it didn't result in anything ... I had the help of a programmer who helped me a bit with things I had suspected to work, turned out they only had the tiniest edge, not really woth the effort. He himself had spent years in the past...

    Why I prefer EA's to Manual Trading

    I wanted to add also: edges come and go; nothing lasts forever in this game as I know too well from experience.

    Why I prefer EA's to Manual Trading

    if you think in fixed terms like 1 lot then you are perfectly right, but don't forget a lot of traders use a flexible approach with leverage related to their account size in other words they up their size with their account size and lower it if in a drawdown. I don't advise that but if you...

    Why I prefer EA's to Manual Trading

    I think I get the idea now, but no, it was not clearly explained ... and it needs some further expansion to be really sure what is is you exactly mean ... it could mean several things to me ...

    Why I prefer EA's to Manual Trading

    your idea of a mix of several EA's is probably a good one, as that will probably reduce the overall drawdowns, wishing you luck with that ...

    Why I prefer EA's to Manual Trading

    what strikes me that you still don't get after all this time that incredible leverage (like anything over 40) and and low drawdowns just don't go together, they are like water and oil, they just won't mix ... the only way that would work if you really found the holy grale or maybe if you traded...

    What or who is behind the screen in Forex?

    your notion is not true: in stocks you are dealing with several computer programs at the same time cause there are several exchanges. It's just the same with fx, only on some 'exchanges' they have wider spreads and on some 'exchanges' they hunt stops with prices that are off what are considered...

    Should I trust this Forex trader?

    First really find it strange that he doesn't speak any english: litteraly everybody in Flanders speaks good english as it's mandatory at school ... especially someone with a higher education level like a programmer should have a good knowledge of the language ... that's not normal in my eyes ...

    Why would anyone trade spot fx

    'U can effect the market' ? really, you must be dreaming ... the real market is interbank spot, not futures in fx yes, you can sit on the bid and the ask, but for like 99% of retail that will hardly make a difference whatsoever, that's more something for market makers ...

    Why would anyone trade spot fx

    if you can trade eur/usd at oanda with 0.9 pips spread and no commissions it doesn't make any sense whatsoever to trade those futures UNLESS you want to trade the news and I bet there isn't any liquidity then either ... So I don't understand people that want to trade those micro-futures ...

    trading rule #5

    lots of things you have to learn seeing from your questions ... well, we all had to start somewhere. Start with just one instrument and look at it thoroughly through different timeframes. Some would prefer a real slow one for this like the bunds, but you might get bored to death. I prefer...
