Manual Trading vs Expert Advisor Robots

Good morning people,

I have a mystery which I am not able to solve. I find good manual trading strategies which I then convert into an EA. The code does exactly what it is supposed to do according to the strategy, but when I run the robot on backtesting, it does not seem to do that well at all. Any ideas why this is happening.

I have written a countless number of robots, but they all end up not making money at the end of the day. One of the main reasons I have seen so far is the lack of a decent trending indicator. Most of them are too slow and lagging. Any ideas out there what one can use as a good trending indicator?

Finally, if you think you have a good sustainable strategy, can you please share it with me so that I can try to convert it into code?

Thank you

Can you see if you can create an EA for this strategy:

I have used this on manual trading and works out well. I have tried with HA candles and regular both and seems to be working fine.

Hi Ramana,

The setup looks interesting. Do you mind giving me a little bit more insight into your system?

Thank you

Hi Tetachar,

Easy as pie. Will you give me a few days since I'm busy with another interesting strategy.

By the way, what % growth do you get with this trading strategy?

Hey Daubert,

Few days is okay. It's too early a stage for % growth stats and also I am taking trades on random days, getting to sit in front of the charts daily is a bit difficult at the moment for me (with a new baby and all). But found very few losses and more winners for sure on this one.
By the way I use currency strength meter to pick the charts on manual trading.
