    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

    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.

    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.
