Trading with EAs on Real Accounts

Hi guys,
I want to start this new thread to see how many users of this forum are using EAs for trading for real.
To know the stategy or not, but also to say, yes I am doing with this EA and I am taking good or bad.
I will start saying that I used a few EAs for real trading and almost all of them went in the wrong direction.
I have a Ava Fx real account and on my first account I had 600€ and started with PrizmaL, and I stoped when I saw that EA could blow up the account, so I started with Piplite 3.1 and did the most wrong thing in the trades world I took a lot of pairs and I blowed up my account.
So I took awhile to test a new EA and for now I love the performance of this EA. I am preparing to open an Alpari Account with 3000€ to get around 300€ per month...
I will post the results when I have my first profit.
I hope this thread can help me to decide for better EA or even to see that are traders getting good profits with automated trading.

Cheers

Carlos

Never use a commercial EA in real account! all of them are pure garbage.

Hi Skillful,
I already had one in real account, was Megadroid, wasn't bad but didn't fit on my profits. But was really nice, if I had a good amount I could get good profit.
But I think that there are good free EAs with very good performance also.

You forgot to mention the name of the new EA you are going to use. I'd like to look at it too and see whats so good about it.

well iv been using blessing for over the last half year and been highly successful as in more than tripling my account .. but it is all highly relative as blessing has hundreds of different permutations to tweak to your style as well I have a broker that actually act,s like a broker , very rare (ducas) , Iv been trading for years mostly at break even but this ea is amazing in its versatility , and free(that in its self is countertrend in this game of mostly sucker,s ) , i was able to tweak to exactly what I wanted (contertrend ) but I spent well over 100 or more hours in front of the screen back testing and learning everything I could before I went live ..

I have a question. May be stupid.
Is it possible for broker to steal my bots, through VPS trading?
no bro , not that almost all brokers are not legalized scammer,s,, although that has changed somewhat over the last year or two ... just trade and if you actually start to make real profit then you can give this question more consideration ... remember this game and it is a game is just like Vegas , stacked against you ,physically and also emotionally , 90% lose there accounts in the first year ,
laharjaya just google there is a web site for blessing by the main developer,s of this EA .. k I don't think I can just give you the link but you can search for it ..

So what have you been doing to achieve this? Automated or manual?
You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.

Hi,
I like manual, because you never know when the EA is online or not, if I must stay to see the EA working to see if the conexion is ok, so I can do better the EA if I trade with my conditions.

Hello HEMPSTER, This is Zillion. Do you still deploy BLESSING 3.7 EA for your trading? I have been back testing it on demo and its OK so far. Do you think
I should deploy it to my live account.
Thanks for kind response.
