Hey traders 👋
Today we’re talking about one of the most important (and most ignored) topics in automated trading — how to choose the right Expert Advisor.
Because let’s be honest — the internet is full of “holy grail” robots that promise to make you rich overnight… and then burn your account faster than you can say margin call.
I could tell you: “Just go to my IntradaySoft.com or check my MQL5 page — I’ve got safe, professional bots there.”
And yeah, I’d be right 😎
But the truth is — the world of automated trading doesn’t revolve around me.
So today I’ll be your friendly trading bro and share a few simple rules to help you pick a profitable and safe EA without stepping on a mine.
1. Always Look for Verified Monitoring
If you see an EA with a flashy cover and claims like “+500% in a month” — close the page, bro.
The first thing you check is live monitoring.
A serious developer always attaches a verified signal on MQL5 Signals or MyFxBook.
That’s your first sign the bot actually trades and not just draws pretty equity curves.
Ideally, you want a monitoring history of at least 3–6 months, or even better, a full year.
That shows the EA can survive not just in a trending market but also in the messy sideways chaos that wipes out 90% of bots.
2. Check Ratings and Reviews — But Be Smart About It
Next stop — rating.
If you see a perfect 5.0 rating — that’s suspicious.
Real EAs live somewhere between 4.3 and 4.7 stars.
Why? Because no system is perfect, and haters are part of life.
Someone will always drop a 1-star review just because “the EA didn’t make money while I was sleeping.” 😂
Read the reviews.
If you see real user feedback, screenshots, and trading discussions — good sign.
If you see generic “Great bot! Best EA ever!” comments — yeah, that’s fake engagement 101.

3. Watch Out for Martingale and Averaging
Now we’re getting serious.
If you find an EA that uses martingale or averaging, run.
Run fast. 🏃♂️💨
Those strategies look smart in the beginning — small steady profits, nice upward curve — until one day they hit that “infinite” series of losses.
Then boom. Account gone.
A professional EA always trades with a Stop Loss, fixed risk per trade, and no grid madness.
Real trading isn’t about “doubling down.” It’s about staying alive.
4. Be Realistic About Profit Expectations
Let’s talk numbers.
No EA on this planet gives you 2000% a month without insane risk.
That’s not trading — that’s gambling with extra steps.
For professional automated systems, realistic profit expectations are 50% to 150% per year, depending on risk.
The sweet spot — 100% annually with low drawdown and consistent performance.
That’s what prop firms, hedge funds, and experienced algo traders aim for.
It’s not flashy, but it’s sustainable — and that’s what really matters.

5. Diversify Like a Pro
Here’s the final golden rule — never rely on a single EA.
If you want to feel like a mini hedge fund, run 3 to 5 different robots using different strategies and pairs.
Maybe one trades short-term reversals, another rides trends, and a third one scalps intraday volatility.
Spread your risk.
Use separate accounts or platforms if possible.
When one EA hits a drawdown, another one will often cover it.
That’s called portfolio balance, and it’s the secret sauce of long-term survival.
Final Thoughts
So, to sum it up:
✅ Live monitoring for at least 3–6 months
✅ Rating around 4.3–4.7 and real reviews
✅ No martingale, no averaging
✅ Realistic profit target — 50% to 150% per year
✅ Diversify with multiple EAs
Follow these rules, and you’ll already be ahead of 90% of traders who still believe in magic bots and “AI profit machines.”
Remember, bro — a good EA doesn’t make you rich overnight.
It makes you consistent.
And that’s what real trading is all about.
