Comparison of EA and discretion!! Which is superior??
I compared automatic trading using MT5 EAs with discretionary trading.
Initially, due to the big market movements, discretion won, but as the market settled, losses accumulated and eventually the EA won.
In terms of trade volume, discretion traded about four times as much, but that ended up being a headwind. Because there were no large moves, I thought it would move and ended up buying in advance.
In the plan, the stop-loss was at 1 and the take-profit at 2.
The EA achieved the expected 2x average profit, but MAN (discretion) was 1x, and the loss-to-profit ratio was the same.
Now, what should we do from here?
1. Shift to EA-centered trading
