I do not think ... Although you can get a good benefit if you know how to advise me with good agents and especially with all the great information found on the web, it can be advantageous and not so much, but finally with advice maybe this can serve as a good extra income.

I see. Is it possible that has an effect on the popularity of Forex trading in China?

forex can make you rich if you will trade systmatically with low risks and it is better if your trading system is automated. It will exclude human factor to break the rules.

Have you ever seen any successful trader with the automatic trading system? I’m asking because, I see all of successful Forex traders trade manually!

I do on contrary make profit only with EAs or algos.
automatic system will trade
- without emotions
- without delay
- without rest all the time
- can be backtested not like manual trading

e.g. fully automated system

As far as I know, 75% of the trading done by institutional traders is done automatically. The traders just overview the EAs and change the algorithm parameters depending on market conditions, sentiment, economic calendar, etc. And it should be like that, when you trade large volumes you need EAs to keep you mentally healthy. Imagine opening each position with a volume of 100 lots for 8 hours/day every day.....It's just impossible not to go down emotion avenue.

Personally I trade manual because I couldn't find a good and stable EA yet and, I have to admit, I'm a bit addicted to the trading adrenaline :))))

You raise two good points; I concur:
1. Emotions when trading large lots.
2. Lack of a good and stable EA.

Perhaps keeping your account small is the answer? Or expanding the mind to better cope with large sums?
Manual trading can get me better results than automated... if only I could be consistently profitable too:

The point is very simple
You should have well defined trading plan (or dont trade at all)
Such well defined trading plan can be always transformed to EA.
EA will always execute trades more efficiently than you
EA is always easy to backtest and even forward test than manual trading.
