Since EA threads seem to be taking over this forum, it would seem to be a useful idea to have a forum specifically for them.

Would certainly cut down on the clutter for those of us who are only interested in reading about trading systems.

Yeah, I realize this post doesn't belong here either, but am also sure many others here feel the same way about all the useless EA threads.....

It's a very good idea.I agree with you.

It won't matter if a special EA forum were created. System threads (almost) always turn into EA support threads.

It's up a thread's originator to set up rules like this for his thread and enforce them. Thread OP's have quite a bit of control over what's in their thread.
You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.

This thread is a waste of time and should never have been started. Steve correctly pointed out that thread starter's have the responsibility to control the contents and they can allow or disallow EA discussions.

Personally, I think EAs should be in their own specific thread in the Platform Tech forum for bug reporting and enhancement suggestions. That is why I would never put an EA in a thread like this with other people's EAs. I notice there are a number of other developers who follow this method.

I was well aware that this thread would waste a few minutes of my time. Did not start the thread here. I started it in Trading Systems and it was moved here in record time.

That forum has been taken over by EA programmers. This forum would be a good place for those threads, not Trading Forums.

I am not referring to all the threads that eventually talk about EA's. I am referring to all the threads that are strictly about EA's and working on them.
They do not belong in Trading Forum...


Excuse me, should have said "Trading Systems" forum....

It must be a constant struggle for the moderators to get the threads into the right forums because I notice the opposite. There are people starting threads in Platform Tech asking for help in understanding how to use an indicator that belong in Trading Discussions not Platform Tech. The most recent example is one asking about the Gann Grid. Most of the discussion here should be about techie things like algorithms, data quality and hardware related matters, not trading. That's just my opinion and I really don't know have any suggestions on how to change things.

EAs are trading systems. We certainly don't want this forum cluttered with trading system threads.

In my opinion, I do think Expert advisors needs to be in their special thread in the Platform Technical discussion board for bug reporting and development strategies. This is why I'd never set an Expert advisor in a thread such as this with peoples' Expert advisors. I discover there are a variety of some other designers that follow this method
