You're in the wrong thread for EA discussions.

We don't want any EA's. Why? They can't observe and think like humans can and do. You need to learn to think on your own while trading and making your own decisions. Most EA"s don't work well anyway...
There are threads DEDICATED to the EAs that you mentioned.

Ive seen replies to this arguement over and over again here, so im not surprised,however i respect the prudence of emmanuel7788 (developers abrina & seller9) and Tekkies, though i realise there are two schools of thought here, the EA monitor and dash board are the way to go in the long run. Such is life, change will always create two camps, you are right,but the ea school of thought too is right, two sides of a coin for now, but don't resist positive change, because at last, technology/automation will replace mechanical methods.

Sure, 2 schools of thought here:
1. The right thing is to respect the words of the dead thread starter and act accordingly.
2. The right thing is to disrespect the words of the dead thread starter--he's dead, so he doesn't count now--and just act however you want to act.

Even in the West, when automobiles were in their primitive stage, those using animals eg Horse saw the new school of thought as unnecessary and too complicated, today, the story is different, EA do bring in sophistication so the "Simple" method seems to be heading towards "complexity" but in the true sense of its simplicity in complexity, efficiency should not be sacrificed on the grounds of tradition, in fact the greater respect is that we are using Bullion vans to load our pips home from the bank than wheel barrows, no disrespect to the dead intended or implied, times have changed, there was a time when traders in Africa drop their wears in the market with price tags and go to farm, comes back in the evening to meet their money intact, today the narrative has changed, such is life. I dont intend to change your mindset, that will be impolite, unreasonable, and illogical,ithis is a healthy balance, this is how it should be, variety is the spice of life

I think the real purpose of TDI is to catch the market patterns as well.
Markets are very old and usually do the same thing too.
Check Gold & BTC monthly charts, you won't be surprised.. Almost the same scheme..
It's similar to what non indicator ''instinctive traders'' do, when they see the pattern they'll strike.

@A-5 -- good for you. You've already figured-out where he is coming from -- he has an axe to grind. He doesn't care about people benefitting from this thread and methodology. Can you imagine someone with over 2500 posts to this thread actually trying to shoo away a new member?

Hey, you're welcome. I'm happy to help folks that come to this thread with navigating their way through the misdrirection and misinformation provide by scammers and charlatans.

Yep, BigE opened up a gold mine here. Unfortunately, his death resulted in a claim jumper that decided his own gem deposits are far superior, so he undertook a brilliant scam. The scammer seeded the gold mine with a few real diamonds, and after a few new miners had a EUREKA moment of actually finding some real gold and gems and proclaiming to all around the riches that the scammer has directed them to, the stage was set for simply seeding the mine with plenty of Fool's gold, a bit of cubic zirconium, and plenty of high quality glass.

And the scam has worked well on many newcomers that have little knowledge or experience about mining, minerals, or gems. And even some that have spent considerable time mining and/or panning for gold have been fooled when they found some sparkling diamonds.

But alas, as the miners continue their efforts to uncover more gems and gold, happily praising the claim jumper for directing them to new deposits that they THINK are more riches from the mother load, they do not realize that they have branched off from the true vein holding the mother load, and now their take-aways are nothing more than Fool's gold and glass that are only revealed after all of their hard work and their hoard analyzed and found worthless.

When a scammer comes to the mine and digs for nearly NINE YEARS, tossing aside the main gold and declaring that he has something far better, but yet FINALLY after all of this time and effort achieves only the BEGINNER'S success rate of 65%, we can conclude that people simply are in "Mulder mode--I want to believe" after being blinded by the finds of others that held up a single diamond or large gold nugget, oblivious to the scammer's misdirection from the true Mother Load that can be mined using the tools that BigE presented.

Even a newcomer to FF quickly wonders ...
post #114044 30 December 2020
According to your [emmanuel7788's] account, you joined in 2008, does it really take 10-12 years to learn something properly like trading?

But really, no surprise because the scammer already told us that he failed medical school entrance but finally managed to find a second-rate college that would accept him where he arranged to get a degree to become a third-rate engineer.

That's quite a nice propaganda technique you've implemented. Clearly, you progressed further than most here in the Joseph Goebbels School of Propaganda. You know, the advanced diversion technique where you make a really logical, well thought out speech that people can relate to and understand that actually has absolutely nothing to do with the subject at hand: The subject is about whether or not to respect the wishes of the thread starter. Maybe you will address that in your next post?

If BigE were alive and policing this thread, do you think that your attempts to discuss EAs would go without at least comment from him to stop? Or, as I have already said, have you decided that because he is dead, his wishes for this thread are null and void, so no problems turning it into a dumping ground for whatever anyone cares to post?

@PixelSniper -- no one who trades with EAs would ever claim they could outperform a human brain. Where did you pick up that misconception? Just as in real-life, trading forex comes with its trade-offs. A good discretionary trader will earn bigger profits than an algorithmic trader -- no question. But the discretionary trader spends a good chunk of his/her life sitting in a chair staring at a monitor looking for "setups". An algorithmic trader is off doing other things. It's up to the individual -- how badly you want those extra winnings. How good would an EA have to be in order for you to be willing to push back from that chair and go take that bike ride in the middle of the day you've always promised yourself? 50% as good as your discretionary trading? 25% as good? 99% as good? We all have different needs and priorities. No one really wants to age in front of a monitor and wake up one day as the next @DrDick -- regretting all the things in life you missed or passed on because you spent so much time glued to the screen.

EAs are a kind of compromise -- you still trade, but in return for giving up some profit you have time to do other things. That's the trade-off.
