My name is Christian and I’m a developer and co-founder of EA Builder Pro,
I’ve been around for 18 years in this industry and would like to spend more time sharing and learning with you. So why now after so much time, right? Well trading (and developing) is a lonely business and not much motivates me more than working together on new things.
In my many years of existence, I’ve helped people with trading systems, wishes for lifestyle improvements and health issues by (partly) automating trading systems and thus reducing screen time. Back in the days BabyPips has been one of my first valuable introductions with trading communities, so this is a great place to circle back to and get in touch with you!

Hi @ChristianEA. Welcome to BabyPips. Hope you can enjoy here, kick out all the boredom. 
Btw good to know your product here. Be careful don’t do marketing here, or it will be flagged by everyone here
I used fxdreema before, I think it will be similar with your product. The problem with builder, the code is not optimized. When it run on VPS, it takes too many resources. I will try yours later 
Hello TYG!
Nice to hear from you and thank you for the warning, definitely not here for marketing, so I’ll keep everything in general, not referring to any product.
Now to the interesting part about bot builders: performance. I haven’t heard people struggling with it. Know someone running 32 bots on 1 VPS, but that’s assumming all VPS and all bots are the same, which they aren’t. Also, maybe you’re HFT (high frequency trading)? I can imagine if every nanosecond matters, it’s definitely an issue because our code is bloated to work for any broker and symbol and passing MT Market place validations. If you build your own bot, there are things you can do to improve performance yourself. For example: put the condition which is quickest to execute first, so that the code will return if the first condition is not met and thus resources are saved by not having to execute the 2nd (resource consuming) condition. I’ll walk the forums to see what people are saying about it and how I can help.
Talk to you later!

Hi @ChristianEA, Yup, you are correct. It’s because of HFT bot, or file sharing on Common File folder. It needed trick to make it happens.
Welcome Christian! With 18 years of experience in the industry, I’m sure you have a lot to share. Looking forward to learning from you!
Hello! Nice to hear from you! I started creating automated trading systems for myself, then when I started to work with others (help them automate) I realized I had to study and trade myself to ‘close the language gap’. The language gap is the gap in knowledge of the meaning of words (terminology) and concepts to effectively communicate and collaborate. So I had a (paid) coach to teach me what I didn’t know yet. Now I do both automation and trading myself. Have a great day and see you around!
Welcome! I hope you’re enjoying your stay here. Looking forward to hearing more about you and your trading experiences.
Hello Christian what is a good forex trade for today
By the way hi my name is terry for bk New York I am very new to this and it hasn’t been going that well for me
Hello Terry, Nice to meet you. Since you’re saying ‘it hasn’t been going that well for me’, I think the last question you should have to worry about is a good trade for today. Today’s trade will only get you through today, but what about tomorrow? The real question you should be asking is what can you do today, to be a better trader in the future? So why am I talking like this? Well, what’s your profession? Something you’re really good at and you’ve been doing for like 20 years? Are you an electrician who regularly stumbles across self-made projects and all you can think about is how dangerous that is? Or a developer who reads about people trying to create good software with ChatGTP? It doesn’t matter what’s your profession, there’s going to be an analogue and you just know you can’t be good at something without really investing your time and energy into it. It’s going to take let’s say 10 things you’re going to have to be great at to make money in this market. 1 reason why? Well let’s say you want to grow potatoes. It doesn’t matter if all of your neighbours want to grow potatoes, as long as you do the right things the potatoes will grow. With trading however, you’re competing against your neighbours and about half will win and half will lose, so you are going to have to be the better half. You’re going to have to study and work hard. In my personal experience it’s going to take at least 1 year if you’re super quick AND you have someone to hold your hand every day and teach you everything (and also doesn’t turn out to be a scam), but it’s going to take a lot of years if you don’t and that’s just fine, because that’s what it is like for any profession! So the first questions you should ask is, how much time do you have per day to trade (sit in front of your computer) to find out what are your trading style options (scalping, day trading, swing, position, invest). Because that will decide which things you need to study. Then, how much time will (not can, but will) you spend per day to study a single trading style on a single pair? Sorry for preaching Terry, just giving my opinion.

Super nice to hear from all the friendly people here. BabyPips is unique in this way, if you know what I mean
Wow, 18 years in the industry is definitely no joke. 
I just wonder though within those 18 years, do you also actively trade or are you more focused on creating automated trading systems?
