no they don't sorry to tell you, it says your a senior member but I bet I have you by age..
I'm 43, you still think you have me by age Anyway's I had an ea a few years ago called avonko it was a breakout ea, it worked ok most of the time, but I couldn't feel comfy leaving the fate of my money in the hands of an ea, plus Istopped using stop losses and started using hedges so that became a non issue.
All that is left in FF is just plain garbage. "Cloggie"

Can't you implement your hedging strategies in an EA?
Or have you lost all faith in the EA's?

loss faith in them, I just feel better manually making my decisions, sometimes it almost feels like I'm connected to the market how smooth the trades go. Especially range trading. Also, I do not know how to program ea's.

ea's can be helpful like a tool, but I wouldn't trust them alone. Especially those that can hurt you bad if the power or internet go out.

Yeah your correct there, however it can be solved by using internet of two different providers (it's rarely that both of them don't work at the same time)
However EA's are indeed a good tool, if you can manage your money..

You got me beat by a country mile..I am 55..
Well here's the deal with EAs as I see it . I could never trade the way my EA does. I mean I know how to trade the same system but you would have to put it in slow mode to do it but then it would not work you follow me. The EA only works because it can do what I would do if I could and get it all done in a sec of time.. I never leave my EA by itself, It makes more than enough profit for me just in part of London session and the NY session I will turn it off before bedtime.

I agree. my most successful method is manual. I know some people like to use hedge-based or martingale ea's, but those can blow up your account, even with $100,000 balance and microlot start. Not to mention they take longer to make profit than my manual trading.

How sad would it is to lose half or more of your balance on a margin call because of an ea. The big drawdowns get scary too. You could probably be saved with a million dollar balance, but I wouldn't put more than $100K into any one broker account. But that's just me.

Seems like it may be a scalper. Anyway's good work. Anyone who can write ie program code, has a one up on the market in my book. The computations that it takes just to start must be mind boggling.

Change of subject, hey Gator, I'm still short lol.

eu in a strong bear mode now, i've open buy 1.3648, aiming for 1.3787 ...

1.3682 is the point of no return ... if the price reach this point, it will never look back

Crossing my fingers now
It didnt reach 1.3787, but i have a nice 50 pips thanks to my trailing stoploss ...

The question remains, will today be another bull day ? I still dont know, the bull seems to be in significant drop after it reach 1.3735...only time will tell

Yes in part it works that way ..when the market is ranging it will make profit on both sides flipping from one to another. Now when a trend comes and this is really the only thing I need to watch out for but when see a obvious downtrend or uptrend I can set the ea to trade only in the direction of the trend..a lot of these functions are not mine to be honest I have used a little of this and that plus some of mi own mixed it up and the recipe works!

I'll hold a drawdown or a hedge for as long as it takes until I get an oppurtunity to close out.
