does it always work out...... of course not...... below is an live example of what appears to be a poorly placed sell..... you should immediately see multiple reasons to have passed on it if trading manually...... some might have wrestled as to whether or not to buy or sell.... for hours..... the ea's alert said sell..... i just clicked sell..... some more points later......h //---
