Starting auto-trade.

Just like the most of forex traders around, I've started trading without the real knowledge needed to have success in this business.
Tried to copy other traders, risked some dollars just because some foolish people forecasted the market just the wrong way.
This took me into a need for learning the basics and the markets, and PRACTICE, A LOT!!

I've googled for some EA's searching for information and discovered hundreds, maybe thousands of expensive websites selling some 'crap' which every one of them gave promises of huge results but in fact they only could blow every account.

There is where I decided to browse for free EA's (where I've found some of those expensive ones for $0 cost) and started to backtest them one by one, changing the most of their default settings, trying different pairs with different time-frames.

Now, after all those months of training and research, I decided to put those ones who gave me the best results in 2 different accounts, funding the first one with $100 a few weaks ago, and the second one with the same amount of $100 but started last week.

These small amounts already made me around $300 profit in 2/3 weeks, and now I'm almost ready to start a real investment to reward myself for my work.

I will not reveal which are the EA's I'm using, to protect myself and to avoid any spamming or free advertise for them.

Hello, would you be so kind to give me advise where I can get free EAs? and how to use them? I've been trading manually, but
I would like to try using EAs. Thanks very much! :)

Hello
just google for free mt4 EA's or try the mql4 page, you'll should find some good stuff for backtest :)

Hi tfdias,
Good work and welcome to the site. Let's hope your free EA's do work out but I have to say that the free ones rarely do. I'd be interested to know over what period these EA's backtests and against what spread data.
Best regards Steve

I only have data to backtest from August 2010, but they are working great till now. Waiting for the right time to invest bigger and give it a good try to all my training with demo and micro accounts. :)

You need to change the settings in MT4.
Go to Tools > Options >Charts
Change Max bars in history to 2147483647

Go to Tools > History then re-download.

Best regards Steve
