{quote} Dancing in the storm, gambling with following and countertrends MAs alone aren't enough {image}
Nothing is easy,
like driving a car, it's not enough to just use MA's, but you have to use a lot of signs, good tools and good skills

But... equip yourself with a strategy you can understand.
Discard the concept of system simplicity, as it's inherently complex.
Here, you must understand many concepts, not just moving averages (MAs), perhaps trend indicators, oscillators, price structure, etc.
Discard the concept of hope
Using EAs as trading tools for opening and closing orders
Don't expect fully automated EAs.
Use manual EAs, where you have full control over the EA

The chart is complicated, but I can still navigate it.
With a multi-function manual EA 
Good Luck

BlackNapkins, Please be aware of using Offline Charts (M61, etc.) as most people do not know the difference between Script collecting the M1 Tick Data on a partial basis compared to using an Indicator that generates continuous historical tick data from the M1 Chart. The Script will mislead you as a Trader unlike the Indicator version.
By the way, another attempt at gold today... playing with gold is very tricky...
Best regards,
Jacek

{quote} I'm just a gambler. I gamble with all my capital today. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose. The concept is to trade with the same capital every day. Sometimes I'm disciplined, sometimes I'm not and add capital when I'm on a losing streak. Forex trading is not an investment, it's just speculation. Money still with the broker is considered lost. In trading, I've abandoned all hope and prayers, just trying to be disciplined and live this gambling speculation
Some of it is automated, but if that's not possible, I turn off autotrading, and some of it also requires control via buttons
