Trading manually on Auto Trade

1. If I have a forex account linked with, and copying, a myfxbook auto trade trader, and I choose to also trade my own separate manual trades on that same account, will a 0.5 pip commission be deducted from my own (successful, winning) manual trades and paid to the Auto Trade provider, even though those winning trades weren't copied from the auto trade provider?

2. If the 0.5 commission is deducted from my own successful trades, is there any way of disabling that for my own manual trades in any way?

thanks

Regarding question 1 – I think this 0.5 pip commission should not apply to your own manual trades. Because the auto trader is not helping you with anything there.
About question 2 – I don’t know how you can disable this deductions, but you should somehow do it, it is not fair :)

Proponents of automated trading argue that this method is superior since it takes irrational human behavior out of the equation. Automated trading is also based on rules and statistics, whereas manual trading may be based more on emotion.

As a beginner in forex, I would like to know if trading manually on Auto trade is good and what its advantages are for beginners?

Is this provider good? How much do they charge?

I agree with you. Manual trading is better than automatic trading.

I personally think it gets messy and best to keep separate. You’ll be better positioned to see what’s working and what isnt
