3/20★Sometimes I borrow the power of ChatGPT, installment 50
FX Auto Trading, EA developersReiwa's Double-Eis.
Since last year, I’ve been writing this series aiming for daily posts.
Probably it has continued for almost a year now!
If you read what I’ve written so far,
I believe you’ll approach a better EA operation.
And since I’d like to take a short break,
I will continue posting by leveraging ChatGPT’s power.
Occasionally, I’ll post irregularly, like before.
Hello, I’m Reiwa’s Double-E, an EA developer.
Today I’d like to talk about “Characteristics of people who write complaints.”
A common scenario is
“They purchase an EA by only looking at forward performance and lack proper risk management.”
This is often observed.
In fact, this is the most common pattern for failure in EA trading.
Risk of buying by forward performance alone
When purchasing an EA, many people place importance on its forward performance (real trading results).
Of course, choosing a high-performing EA is important, but
if you decide to buy based on that alone, you may fall into a trap you didn’t expect.
Because forward performance only reflects performance in the current market environment.
Markets are constantly changing, and past results do not guarantee future results.
In other words, there is no guarantee that “this winning EA now will surely keep winning in the future.”
Operations without proper risk management are dangerous
Another common point among complainers is“lack of risk management.”
If you’re drawn by forward results and operate without risk management, you may incur large losses.
For example,
operating with an excessive lot size relative to your funds.
starting without anticipating maximum drawdown.
This often leads to an inability to endure a single large loss.
Usually, this is the cause of major complaints.
What’s important in EA operation: forward performance plus risk management
To manage assets with EA, it’s most crucial to implement not only forward performance but also solid risk management.
By performing risk management, you can operate less influenced by market fluctuations and avoid missing chances to grow your assets over the long term.
Examples of concrete risk management include,
Setting lot sizes appropriate to your funds.
Starting with an expected maximum drawdown and managing funds to withstand losses.
If you do these properly,
even with some losses, you won’t suffer fatal damage, and you won’t end up with complaints.
Summary
If you start operating by looking only at forward performance and neglect risk management, the risk of failure in EA operation becomes very high.
This pattern is often seen in people who write complaints.
So,
when purchasing or starting to operate an EA, don’t rely solely on forward performance;
be sure to conduct proper risk management before starting to operate.
Well then!

but backtesting underpins it.
Backtesting periods are usually longer than forward periods, and
whether you happen to win on forward is often estimable by refining backtest evaluation.

FX collapses if risk management is neglected.
