DAY 30: Summary — Beyond Discretion, the Landscape Visible Beyond

For a long time up to now,

• The advantages and disadvantages of EA (Expert Advisor)

• Utilizing backtests and forward tests

• Portfolio management and capital management

• Hybrid use with discretion

• The limits of EAs and how to address them
  and other topics related to EA operation have been explored in depth.

Today (DAY 30), as a closing of this series, I would like to summarize again the essential value that EAs bring and what kind of future can ultimately open up.
Move beyond the limitations of discretion toward trading stability and a highly flexible lifestyle, and take another step from here.

1. Surpassing discretion — the essential value of EA

1. Eliminate emotional swings and maintain objectivity
   Discretionary traders inevitably experience delays in cutting losses, frustration after a string of losses, and greed for unrealized gains; with EAs, actions are executed calmly according to logic.
   The fact that you can trade consistently without being swayed by emotions is a major strength for protecting funds in the long term and steadily accumulating capital.

2. 24-hour monitoring of multiple currency pairs
   Beyond human stamina and time constraints, EAs monitor the market tirelessly. If chances arise at night or in the early morning, they can enter automatically, and triggers can be activated automatically in case of sudden drops.
   Furthermore, multiple logics and multiple currency pairs can be run simultaneously, offering a strong appeal by providing a diversification effect and easier risk control.

3. Codifying discretionary experience into logic to reduce mistakes
   Ultimately, an EA is a numerical and rule-based representation of a trader’s insights and ideas.
   By reflecting market intuition and verification results from discretionary trading and clearly programming the previously intuitive parts, you can minimize ambiguous judgment errors and the psychological impact of losing streaks.

2. Ultimately gained “stability and freedom”

1. Release from over-attachment to trading
   Because the EA will move on chances without monitoring the market, you can focus more on other work, hobbies, or time with family.
   If the inner stress of “always worrying about the market” fades, it becomes easier to sustain trading over the long term.

2. A style that prioritizes not losing big rather than trying to win big
   If you let the EA handle money management and stop-loss, you can prevent larger drawdowns and bankruptcy risk beyond expectations.
   If stability is valued, you may avoid the tragedy of “a single mistake halves your funds” typical of discretionary trading.

3. Balancing with your lifestyle and main work
   An EA runs 24 hours automatically, with regular maintenance and verification updating the system.
   Meanwhile, you can devote time to your main job, side gigs, or other investments. Expanding the use of time outside trading builds a foundation for even broader asset formation.

3. In the end, “EA alone is not enough”

As emphasized throughout the series, EA is not a万能 tool.
To cope with changing market environments, advances in technology, and network failures, regular checks and updates and risk filters via discretion are indispensable.

• Not set and forget after one installation; continuously monitor data
  Weekend and month-end log reviews, drawdown checks, etc., must be continued.

• Discretionary intervention to pause or adjust lot sizes during market shocks
  Stopping the EA before and after important indicators or comments, and other basic risk-avoidance measures will continue to be needed.

4. Final message to EA users

1. Never forget the three axes of testing, capital management, and mental care
   No matter how excellent an EA is, stability cannot be achieved without proper backtesting, forward testing, reasonable lot sizing, and calm judgment during operation.
   The EA is a tool to trade more efficiently; the responsibility for its use lies with humans.

2. EA installation is ultimately a means to gain “your own free time”
   For those tired of discretionary trading or too busy to follow the market, EA truly shines.
   Once it gets on track, you can realize “not losing big” while focusing on what you really want to do.

3. Worries and anxieties should be addressable by small tests and data
   When losses occur, it is natural to feel anxious. In such times, start with small-scale or demo trading to identify causes, adjust parameters, re-test, and build the habit of taking the next action only after you’re convinced.
   If you can respond based on data and logic, the EA becomes a strong ally.

5. Looking back on the series

• DAY 1–DAY 10: Basic concepts of EA and risk management fundamentals

• DAY 11–DAY 20: Portfolio management, backtest analysis, Quant Analyzer, and other specialized knowledge

• DAY 21–DAY 30: Psychological aspects of EA introduction, concrete operational steps, fusion with discretion, and comparisons with failure cases

With these, I hope you can understand the魅力 and risks of EA comprehensively. More importantly,the perspective unseen with discretionary tradingmay become apparent to you.

A closing question

Finally, ask yourself:

1. “With my current discretionary trading style, can I achieve the stability and freedom my future self seeks?”

2. “By trying EA, is there potential to ease the risks and mental burden I’ve carried so far?”

3. “If I introduce it, which EA should I use and how should I operate it, and what funds management rules should I set?”

If you feel like trying, or want to gather a bit more information before proceeding, this may be a perfect time to adopt EA.
