Stop guessing. Learn which EA inputs truly control outcomes: lot sizing, max trades, portfolio caps, spread limits, and the settings that prevent hidden overexposure.
Drawdown is not enough. Learn how to evaluate risk using equity behavior, exposure, recovery profile, and the patterns that usually appear before blowups.
A practical guide to expectations. Learn which results should align across testing methods and which differences are normal because of spreads, slippage, and market regime changes.
Many EAs fail on live accounts because of execution reality. Learn how spreads, requotes, and slippage change results and what to monitor to stay protected.
Diversification can reduce reliance on one pair, but only if you control shared exposure. Learn how to diversify the right way with portfolio caps and correlation awareness.
Most EA disappointment comes from misunderstanding the strategy type. Learn how each category behaves, where it breaks, and how to match it to your risk tolerance.
Verified does not mean safe. Learn what to inspect in a track record: equity behavior, exposure spikes, recovery style, and the red flags hidden behind smooth curves.

Most bots do not fail because of one bad trade. They fail due to fragile assumptions: over-optimization, weak risk limits, and ignoring real execution and regime changes.
