one last question

Isn't the purpose of an EA to let it run come back 2 years later with loads of money ?

If you need to be skilled to run it what is different than manually trading and running your ea ? sorry I was just wondering.

Maybe you spend alot of time in the market babysitting the ea , maybe messing with trades that it triggers , either cancelling them as you do not like sets or changing entries / stops. This is maybe why the EA works for you .

First I cannot answer everyone here that finds a issue with my EA. So I will post this for all to read if you wish.
First do you just barged right in to someones employment and tell him that what your using will never win but loose and by proof of such this is why the brokers let you use EA(s) Now If I barged right in and said your manual trading will never work and the brokers let you trade that way because they know you will loose all your money would that be a nice thing to do? That is exactly what Malcolmb did and if this is really a mature...

Thanks that sounds a lot better..as another poster said maybe I did take it personal when it was not meant to be. I mean it sure sounded personal to me but I am willing to give it the benefit of the doubt..so I apologized if that was the case here.

I am sure you hear all kinds of stories about EA(s) however if you read my earlier posts you would at least seen that I posted my live statements..

Oh not to bragged but I could have retired years ago but little fun in that when you have made enough money you will soon come to the fact that it is not what you thought it was..your more alive working towards your own dream of becoming rich someday than being rich..

not your EA .. but eas in general

I get 100's of bs emails a month of poeple telling me how many millions thier eas are going to make.

maybe you have the magic ea .. but i talk to a lot of trader , even one guy that ran a syndicate and had 10 programmers trying to find the holy grail EA and I have never come across one that works.

I have even tried getting one or 2 programmed by computer geeks I know around no demand and high volume up bars that have next bar closing down. Could not seem to get them to work.

I am always very skeptical...

Deans why do you think borkers allow eas to be run on mt4 platform ?

when you are trading mt4 you are trading against the broker every time , not the market as you do on futures, .
The reason that brokers allow them is that they all lose money in the long run ...lol .. so it is just away for the broker to get a nice steady source of income.

If I was going to give all my money to the broker I would prefer to do it in style, ... one high risk trade , that if it worked could make me retire and if it failed would blow up my account.
The broker earns both if u lose or win. So isnt it better for the broker if u win, so u dont blow ur account and the broker will have a constant income from the spread ? It isnt the broker's money that we trade anyway ...

I made no attacks on anyone. Go ahead try to find fault with me if that is your game..
Yes you did, and some are on several quotes of mine and other's posts.
You were agressive and not polite, in answer to some statements about the general use of EAs in the long run (years) - not about yours in any way. Period.

So chill and let's keep the thread running.

"

Yes of course I do this but it's different than manual trading as I only need to intervene when something large happens like I just hit a trend with a long run and my draw down is becoming too big..stuff like that..
The fix is easy but left alone and you could blow your account.
Plus the EA makes much more money that you could do for the simple reason it's much faster. It will do all the things you would do if your trading by yourself but does them in a flash which means you get much quicker returns..

382 retrace still strong, I entered my long a little early but that's fine.

"Cable broke through 1.5100 resistance, AUD/USD through 0.9070 and USD/JPY below 88.50 as the dollar lost ground across the board. AUD was the only pair to close below what traders perceive to be breakout levels."

We should see 3750 before the bear returns.

Hope this helps.

I shared my feelings after this was posted..
First it's my post below..
Then Malcolmbs..

Now it baffles me how you can say he was just talking about EAS in general when he followed that statement that I made about closing down my EA..

Do you see the word "All" there? All means all so he was including me and my statement above..

Any how nuff said this is a very hard crowd even if you correct..

And your very correct let the thread run ..I am sorry for even posting..

Dean
That's true... but sometimes, that can get limited by the broker, through requotes, slippage, etc (lots of stories about that eventually hapening to good EAs).

I use EAs and scripts... some that I made, some that I twisted to my purpose - all to limit the bads of manual trading - I use them to open or close all or half of the trades of all or only a particular pair (by just dragging to chart), and to manage the trade (move SL to BE, place missing SL and/or TP, etc).
