DislikedDB, i think that the direction you head into is promising.
this EA seems more like a semi-auto EA.
i imagine a scenario like this:
i get up in the morning, check the market, decide EG is more likely to go up, then i turn on the EA to do "buy eu sell gu" = true;
leave it alone, by maybe US market close, the EA stops trading and closes all positions.
next day, i do the same shit.
as i guess, this is not a time-consuming thing to spend a couple of minutes everyday to turn on the EA. as i put 'red font'...Ignored
trading only in a specified time window should also be doable
so semi-automated isn't neccessarily where we have to end up with this ea
