    This section is for discussing EAs, trading robots, algo strategies, backtesting setups, and anything related to automated trading. Pretty straightforward stuff, but a few things need to be spelled out. Basic conduct Don't be a dick to other members. Debate the idea, not the person. If someone's EA is garbage, say so, just don't make it personal. No harassment, no targeted pile-ons, no trolling. We've all seen how that ends on other forums. Promotion & advertising Don't advertise your bot, EA, signal service, or anything you're selling, not without clearing it with admin first. This includes the subtle stuff: "oh by the way my tool does exactly this" across five different threads is still promo. Referral links posted without permission get removed, no warning. DMing members to push your product will get you banned. Full stop. Posting standards If you're sharing a backtest, give it some context. Raw equity curve screenshots with zero explanation aren't useful to anyone. Don't post performance claims you can't back up. "Made 400% in three months" with no evidence goes straight in the bin. Stay on topic. This isn't the place for broker drama or general trading chat — there are other sections for that. Other stuff that'll get you removed Sharing cracked or decompiled EAs. Zero tolerance, instant ban. Promoting brokers beyond a passing technical mention. Warnings for minor stuff, bans for anything deliberate or repeated. So, the rules are not that complicated. If something feels like it might be borderline, just message a mod before posting. — ForexRoasted Team

    to give the original question a concrete answer: yes, low-touch for years is real and i know several who do it, but every one of them has a monitoring routine and a kill switch, and every one has had to retire or retune a system when its edge decayed. the automation removes the minute-to-minute clicking, not the responsibility. plan for maintenance and youll be fine, expect magic and youll be blindsided.

    depends on the firm. some prop firms forbid running correlated copies across multiple of their accounts because it games their risk model, others are fine with distinct strategies. read the specific firms rules before splitting EAs across funded accounts, getting flagged for prohibited correlation can void payouts. on personal accounts youre only answerable to yourself.

    this is one of the most useful threads ive read here in a while the 'mechanism vs noticed losing period' line is going straight in my journal.

    slippage and incentive misalignment are the core issues. look for consistent behavior across regimes, not just high returns.

    100 trades minimum across different regimes. live micro lots preferred over demo for execution quality data.

    daily kill switch plus server-side stops. non-negotiable.
