EA stands for Expert Advisor
It's some kind of program that you attach to your chart in order to make calculations on it, Moving averages, indicators, etc... and then based on that and of course, on your rules as long as they are technical and not fundamental, you can have the EA passing orders for you and then following those orders for you.
Everything can be programmed which means automated. To do so, you need to learn a bit about programming in C language http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_%28pr...ng_language%29
It can seem a bit complicated at first but I can help you in that.
Even if you don't want the EA to trade for you, you can program it just to display messages on the chart, for example BUY/SELL signals and then you decide to trade or not that signals, this could help to avoid those silly mistakes...

Simplicity is the Ultimate Sophistication.
