Welcome to the site Graham

There's no "set and forget" EA in the universe that will make you money forever.

They all work during specific market conditions, and often give back those gains when the market changes.

If you want to make money over the long term you'll need to have a good understanding of the market and the strategies being traded with your EA. Don't just connect a black box system and cross your fingers.

That's what I've been seeing so my question I guess is what is the point of them? Are they something that people use and then when they stop profiting switch off then back on at a later date? Im still very much in the learning stage and won't be funding a broker account till i have a better understanding. If someone had developed such a system why would hey sell it is right

bobby forget about EA's mate. You should never have to rely on something to trade for you. Learn forex the right way and be profitable long term.
