    There's no shortage of EAs being sold online with polished landing pages and backtests that look like a straight line up. Most of them don't survive first contact with a live account. We've tested a lot of them ourselves, with real money. The full rating is here: forexroasted.com/robots We spent our own cash on this. Not demo accounts, not vendor-provided setups. Go check it out before you buy anything. What we're currently running Out of everything we've been through, two EAs have actually held up on live accounts: EA Automatic and BullCharge Full performance data and our take on both are in the rating above. — ForexRoasted Team

    This section is for discussing automated trading systems: EAs, trading robots, algorithmic setups, and anything that executes trades without you sitting at the screen. Share what you're running, ask what you can't figure out, and be straight about results. Basic conduct Be honest about performance. A robot that's been running live for three months with a modest return is worth more to this community than a backtest that turned $1,000 into $1,000,000. If someone's EA logic has a flaw, explain it properly. "That'll blow the account" needs more than just the assertion. No dismissing people who are new to automation. The learning curve is real and everyone here hit the same walls. Promotion & advertising Do not advertise your EA, robot, or automated system without admin approval. This includes "soft" promotion: recommending your own product across multiple threads, offering free trials that lead to a sales funnel, or posting performance screenshots with a link attached. If you've built something and want to share it with the community, contact admin first. There's a right way to do it. Referral links get removed without warning. DMing members to sell your robot will get you banned. Posting standards When sharing results, include the context: live or demo, broker, account size, timeframe the robot has been running, drawdown, not just the return. Anyone can cherry-pick a good month. When asking for help with an EA, specify the platform, the issue, and what you've already tried. "My robot doesn't work" tells us nothing. If your robot blows up, post what happened. Failure reports are some of the most useful content on any trading forum. Backtests are fine for discussion but label them clearly. Optimised backtests presented as live performance will get your post removed. Other things that'll get your post removed Cracked, decompiled, or pirated EAs. Zero tolerance, instant ban. Unverified performance claims with no supporting data. Posts that exist purely to funnel people toward a paid product. Warnings for minor stuff, bans for anything deliberate or repeated. Not sure if something fits here, message a mod before posting. — ForexRoasted Team

    master one first, add a second only with measured low correlation, not vibes.

    forty is a hint, want hundreds across regimes, go live tiny until proven.

    a middle path worth knowing about: systematic wiht discretionary veto, where the system generates the entries mechanically but youre allowed to skip a trade for a documented reason, never to add or modify one. it keeps the emotional discipline of mechanical entries while preserving a narrow, accountable slot for genuine situational judgement. just log every veto and review whether your skips actually helped, or youll quietly drift back to full discretion through the veto door.

    few parameters, out-of-sample test, honest costs, systematise your interventions too.

    this is exactly the spiral i was in, panic-wanting to kill the system mid-drawdown realising my current drawdown is actually still inside the bcaktested range and the setups are still firing. holding, per the framework. thank you, i was about to abandon a system on pure fear.
