New to this

I have been trading for a little while and would like to take this to a new level. I see several systems that seem profitable and have some ideas of my own. I would like to test them and run EAs to do my own trading.

What I wanted to know how to I start my educational process in this?

Thank you in advance.

Your sitting right in the middle of it, its called Forex factory.

Read everything in sight.

Do you have a background in any other computer based programming? The quickest way to learn imo is to rip off code(i say rip off but simply mean modify existiing ea's) from other people and play with the aspects of the programming. It will develop your skills much quicker than starting from scratch.

Backtesting data with EA's is a quick way to ballpark strategies, but there is alot happening that it might not show you. I would recommend a solid manual trading system first, then mimick that with the EA for backtesting. I log and database all my manual trades. After a position is closed (winning or losing) note what happened to price after you closed. Were you stopped out? Did you take profit prematurely? Did you take a bad signal? These are all things that may help you find errors in your EA that might not be so transparent as just changing some parameters, but rather the logic of your EA.

Tekademic is right. You have found the right place. I don't doubt your programming abilities but most traders agree that you need to be conversant on the ground, if you see what I mean
