It sure doesn't beat a successful manual system but it allows me to concentrate on other business ventures.
Warren Buffet makes 12-13% a year! I'm happy with my 6% a month. In forex, making returns of over 20-30%/Mo is considered possible but I'm yet to meet a retail trader whose done this over the years and has the records to prove it. The problem these kind of the returns is that the killer trade is always lying in wait....whether you are manual or ea trading.
Have you found more success creating EA's yourself or using commercial EA's?
