Learn to Master EA Use Throughout the Series

Hello. Previously, over seven installments, we discussed the significance and purpose of EAs, how to use and select them, and other basic-level topics to provide an overview. You may have understood the big picture from those overview discussions, but some readers may feel that information is still insufficient for actually using an EA. Therefore, from now on, we will move into the “Practical Edition” and discuss more detailed content on using EAs. Of course, you can start with this practical edition, but to grasp the whole EA picture, we would appreciate it if you review the basics in the back issues.

As mentioned above, the practical edition aims to enable practical use of EAs by covering more specific操作 methods. In the practical edition, we plan to cover the following topics in the future.

• EA setup methods
• EA evaluation and selection methods
• How to backtest EAs
• EA operation techniques

The practical edition will go into more detail and may span multiple installments for each topic. Thank you for your continued patience.
