I agree entirely, but I’d probably argue that in practice people are influenced by the environment around them in all walks of life. Its one of the main reasons participating in forums is extremely corrosive and damaging for new traders.
Those that break the mould and pursue their own dreams tend to do OK, but theyre usually in the minority.
Not every person interested in automated trading things like this . Lets assume you get a bad headache
will you study for 2 years and learn everything abt brain and treat yourself or go to a doctor
Just like you are paying a professional - doctor to cure your health condition , you are going to a professional trader or an EA developed by a professional trader
But the only diff here is 1 in 100 doctors might be a crook - in forex 1 in 100 traders is genuine
EAs got their bad name because of these crooks who hype them - I am not completely saying there is nothing wrong with peopel who choose these EAs - They have a disease called GREED - It is simple to answer but complicate dto remove from your system that how our brains are wired
