It was a pretty uneventful trading week besides two big (and quick) drops of around 600 pips on 2 and 5 December. ATP EA 1 still had a relatively low drawdown and with decent profits. Did your martingale EAs survive? If they didn't, it means that they're either too aggressive or too stupid. Get rich quick EAs are easy to blow too. I saw so many people blow their accounts this week alone. So many kind hearted traders trying to make their brokers even richer.

For this EA, I only aim 1-2% a day so that there is a higher chance of surviving long term in this market. I am not saying it will never blow, in fact I know it definitely will. Market psychology plays a huge role whether you're using EA or manual. When people get into forex, the main thing they have in mind is to get rich quick. Unfortunately, they're only making their brokers rich.

Scenario 1:

Using an aggressive EA that doubles the account every few days.

Mid Traders: Withdraw capital each time the account doubles (if it even manages to double in the first place/cycle). Account blows up, repeats cycle, in hopes that there will still be profits overall.

Not So Smart Aka Greedy Traders: Let's double it a few more times before I withdraw.

We all know how that would turn out isn't it.

Scenario 2:

Using a slow and safe EA that generates 1-2% daily (like ATP EA 1).

Smart Traders: Looks at the drawdown and feels safe enough to let the EA run long term for profits.

Not So Smart Aka Greedy Traders: Too little profit, let's increase the risk. Proceeds to use the high risk set provided by the EA seller. Blows account.

Smart traders know that 1-2% a day is indeed a lot of profits already. How much is enough? Trade and collect what is enough for you. How much are your banks giving you back in terms of interests per year? 1-2% a year? Then why is 1-2% a day considered little? Is your financial literacy that bad?

WAKE UP.

THINK.

What kind of trader are you?
