Manual Trading and Automated which One Do You Think Is More Profitable?
May 07, 2011 at 10:10
Mix...definately mix..
I used both to make my monthly target, however i do feel that manual trading is more profitable. However, the automated trades are also helping to pull in some consistent small profits and trading volume..
Anyway, most automated trading are based on manual trading concept and theory too, we can use both, the p/l matter most, it doesnt reallly important whether it's manual or auto right ?
Let's use both, we get both advantage from the both world.
cheers

Mixed also for me.
Manual trading with the EA's ability to track support levels and exit quickly when support levels are broken, all leads to good consistent profits.
The bot can help you on statistical analisys and improve your trading, but each situation should be evaluated by humans and, if possible, always keeping on mind the fundamentals.
Indeed, a lot of EA (honest) developers wrote on their webpage:
'expert advisor will help you to make quick and accurate decisions by analyzing market data'
or
'help you to increase the opportunities to make higher profit in trading...'
In any case I believe that every bot should be supervised. I never leave a bot alone on an account with an equity above $1k.
Anything can happen... Even connection may drop.

Manual is best

Whichever way that you think would work best for you. Some prefer to have it fully automated so that they can focus on other more important matters of their life, some like it as a semi-automated strategy just to check and see how it performs from time to time and some just prefer the good old manual way to get things done.

Although I have no problem with aircraft fitted with autopilot, I do like to know there is a human pilot upfront 'just in case' autopilot should fail.
I have experienced far greater success with manual trading, but I do use an EA I wrote to provide money management functions. I enter the market manually with my EA calculating stop-loss at 2% of account funds, number of lots I can trade whilst remaining within 2% of stop-loss if triggered, and the entry stop-loss placement. Once the trade is underway, my EA calculates and places trailing stops until triggered. Once my trailing stop reaches breakeven the trade becomes risk free, and from this point forward it begins to lock-in accrued profits.
Manual trading works. Automated trading will, eventually, blow your account!
