I vote for an EA! It won't take your time and you'll make money. Manual trading is very hard because you can face all sort of psychological problems. People are emotional but trading should be emotionless. It takes time to learn to trade that way and benefit won't be much bigger than using an EA.

Anyone interested in purchausing a trending and scalping robot for $120.00 or nearest offer. Trade a total of 6 pairs with minimum drawdown.

I agree with your statement about trading and that it should be emotionless. I have to disagree with the other part of your response that the benefit will not be much greater learning how to trade and using an EA. In the end, all that matters is that you are satisfied with your results. Pax puts the X in Forex. |

Show me an EA that has good intuition and can predict changes in sentiment derived from changes in bond yields, CDS spreads, and political statements. There are risk-lovers and there are risk-haters, but the best traders will take the risk as long as they get paid for it. |

Granted, EA's have their place and can be profitable. Don't misunderstand me, I'm not knocking them. I'm just saying EAs have inherent limitations and that manual trading has a greater potential for profits (and also losses).

I agree that manual trading has greater potential both way and in the end each trader decides what they are willing to accept. Personally I only engage into manual trading.

We just follow it. -LK The YELLOW line should always be above the RED line. It means you've cut your losses, and let your winners run. |

The point is that EAs can't make trades based on changes in market psychology - humans can.

A non discretionary trading system with explicit entry and exit rules would be best traded automatically as that would provide trading results exactly according to the trading system whereas manual trading can affect it (time on screen limit, human errors, emotional factor).
However, if the trading system is discretionary, or if it is adapted to the market mode (which is again decided by the trader), then obviously it would be best to trade it manually. In any case, there is no 'better' way to trade as each trader has its own trading system and performance. I would even suggest having both type of trading systems for the sake of diversification, in case on fails, the other one will help to recoup losses and readjust the failing system. |

I think manual is better having done both - with manual, if you can shut off the emotion, you can discern the market in ways an EA cant therefore not taking unsuitable trades just because they are part of a strategy regardless of the trend as EAs do.
