DAY 24: The Future Trade Image Brought by EA — Peace of Mind, Stability, and Freedom

In the previous session (DAY 23), we conceptually understood how an Expert Advisor (EA) is built and the general flow of its creation.
Today (DAY 24), we will once againorganize the benefits of using an EAand imagine what kind of trading style and lifestyle we should aim for in the end.

Whether you have been relying on discretionary trading so far, or you’ve heard of EA trading but aren’t sure what it’s about, please envision a future together with us.

　

1. You gain time and mental breathing room

  • Freedom from constant chart monitoring
    In discretionary trading, if you don’t keep watching the market, you might miss entry opportunities or suffer losses from sudden declines.
    By introducing an EA, the program executes the logic around the clock, soyou won’t miss opportunities even while sleeping or at work, and trading progresses.

  • Emotional decision-making decreases
    EA helps minimize the psychological wobble common in discretionary trading, such as delaying stop losses or taking profits too early when there are temporary gains.
    It reduces mental fatigue andhelps you maintain a stable mindset.

　

2. It’s easier to analyze trading data calmly

  • Mechanical recording and verification
    Since all entries and settlements are logged by the program, you can objectively analyze P/L, win rate, drawdown, and other metrics afterward.
    With discretionary trading, much of the trading is based on vague feel or intuition, making verification fuzzy, but EA providesa foundation of theory and numbers to review.

  • Learn from verification and apply to discretionary trading
    Understanding which market conditions are challenging for the EA and which conditions it excels in can be applied to discretionary trading as well.
    You might gain hybrid insights like, “When the EA struggles during a range market, for discretionary trading I’ll observe rather than trade”..

　

3. You can expect more stable and diversified profits

  • Diversification through portfolio management
    As repeatedly emphasized in this series, by combining multiple EAs with different strengths and running them in parallel, you can diversify risk.
    Even in markets where one logic loses, another logic might cover, making total profits more stable...

  • Free up time for other investment methods or business
    Using EA reduces the time you need to spend on discretionary trading. With extra time and effort, you can focus on stock investments, real estate, or side businesses or your primary job, creating multiple income streams.

　

4. You might redefine the concept of “freedom”

  • Easier to obtain peace of mind
    Not having to watch the market constantly and experiencing less emotional tension can significantly improve your daily life rhythm and mental state.
    The sense of security from not always thinking about the market may be a valuable long-term asset in trading life.

  • New goal-setting becomes possible
    When discretionary traders start using EA, they shift focus from simply “how to earn money” to “how to use the money and time they’ve earned.”
    Some may aim for early retirement or semi-retirement, while others may devote time to new hobbies or social contribution.

　

5. The key caution: don’t neglect it entirely

  • Total abandonment carries risks
    EA is just a tool. If market conditions change or there are issues with the VPS or broker, the logic may not operate as intended.
    Regular checks and maintenanceare indispensable, so please don’t forget.

  • Continuous learning sustains stability
    If you think, “I’m letting the EA handle it, so I don’t need to study,” you’ll fall behind market changes. Maintaining a habit of regularly reviewing market basics, economic news, and technical trends will give you greater peace of mind.

　

Today's recap and next episode preview

  • By using an EA, you canautomatically seize opportunities without constant monitoring and reduce emotional mistakes

  • However,completely abandoning oversight carries risks, so regular checks and ongoing learning are essential. An EA is a tool to make trading easier and more stable, while final judgments and maintenance remain the human’s role

In the next session (DAY 25), the theme will be “Understanding the limits of EAs—absolutely not a recipe for perfect results with total neglect,” re-examining the dangers of overreliance on EA and clarifying commonly misunderstood points. As you gain freedom and stability, we will pinpoint where caution is needed.
