the way to avoid repeating this sad story are to first read peterfm's "this is my way of helping out newbies" from the prior post, then forget the imaginary riches, forget EAs, and stick exclusively to manual demo trading focusing on price action (not indicators).
when you finally figure out risk management (it takes years) and are consistently demo successful, find a good (non-mt4) broker and fund your account with $5000.
then trade with tiny tiny lots until you match your demo success.
after you have a half-year track record of consistent success with tiny tiny lots, shop your track record to someone or some fund with money who wants to fund your trading. make money with their money.
risk management is the holy grail.
