It’s like learning another language in my experience… I tried to do it for a while, but found it was much better to pay a professional programmer to make sure there are no bugs that might cost me money down the track.
I was also trading other peoples money however, so I had a bit at stake if something went wrong.
Yeah, if you are into coding, you should be able to customize your own EA. Some of the brokers do offer this, which is a plus. But are you sure you want to head down the “xpert” binge? Just askin’ since you have been doing the demo for a year…
EAs and Robots can be profitable but I think that you really need to write your own one to be sure it is trading something that makes sense and it is not going to kill your account. I have read so many horror stories of people losing all there money because their “Holy grail” EA, that they bought for $100, lost all there money in one day.
If you like coding and understand forex trading then try to write your own EA, if not stick to normal manual trading.
