Does anyone use EA for trading? How effective is it? I use EA for trading, profit about 4-5%/month :((

Hi, I’m using an EA, and it’s bringing me over 200% a week.

Precision. Discipline. Results.

4-5% per month is good if you can do it consistently. Minimal 2 years.

+1 to that. Whenever I evaluate an EA, I want 24+ months OOS with max DD capped; ‘200% a week’ usually reads like martingale or grid unless proven otherwise

Yes EA really work as long as the tests you're doing are relevant (backtest and forward test).This is what I'm doing with all my robots (EA) and result are good (monthly average about 100%) with a correct avg DD of 15% (Max DD 53%).

Do you offer PAM service or copy trade?

200% a week? That’s wild. You must be halfway to your first trillion by now, right? Let us know when Forbes calls.

Sure, I use my own EAs that run my strategies. I believe it is the best way to trade, because it makes reliable back testing possible. Frequent optimization and out-of-sample testing makes the reliability of a strategy so much higher.

I totally agree @Pupsik.


Also when a strategy is not going exactly where we expect initially, we can easily figure out what happened and fix it to make it not happen again.

Exactly. 4-5% a month consistently is solid and far more realistic than those “200% a week” claims 😅


My signal is just like that. Been running since 2022. My EA trades XAUUSD exclusively, and over the last 3 months it’s gained about 18%. Over the last 12 months, it made exactly 100%. Overall gain is 911% - made over the course of 3.5 years.


Not flashy, but it proves that steady, disciplined trading with proper risk management really adds up over time, especially compared to unrealistic promises. My signal is available in my profile if anyone wants to view the stats or copy the trades directly—full transparency so you can check the performance before deciding to follow.

Inpressive! Is this a commercialy sold EA or one that you coded your self?

The discussion about EAs is fascinating! I use one for forex trading, averaging 3-4% monthly—steady but not spectacular. Curious about those 200% weekly claims, though! For learning more about EAs, I recommend checking out tutorials on Instagram. You can use i2mate.co to download those videos or audio for offline study. It’s a free, easy-to-use tool—just paste the instagram URL, choose your format, and download. Perfect for building a trading resource library!

Agreed, especially if you can show it over 24 months with low DD. Anyone claiming ‘200% a week’ should post a verified, track-record-connected system; otherwise, risk management says hard pass

EA is actually very good for trading because it helps you overcome your emotion s and get a full control but you must change your EA once a while.
