Seven Mistakes People Make In The First Month With A Gold EA
None Of Them Are About The EA Itself. All Of Them Are Avoidable. General Education, Not Financial Advice.
When an EA disappoints someone in its first month, the cause is usually something around the EA, not the EA. These seven mistakes come up again and again, and they apply to any gold EA you might run, ours included. Knowing them in advance is worth more than any setting.
One: Sizing For The Good Weeks
Position size gets chosen when things look easy, then a rough stretch arrives and the same size feels unbearable. Size for the worst month you can imagine, not the best one.
Two: Running It On A Computer That Sleeps
An EA only trades while the platform is running and connected. A laptop that goes to sleep or an internet connection that drops can mean missed entries or positions nobody is managing. Many people run EAs on a VPS, a small always-on computer, for exactly this reason.
Three: Changing Settings After A Loss
Tweaking a system right after it hurts you is one of the most reliable ways to damage it. If you want to change something, write down why and wait a few sessions first.
Four: Ignoring What Gold Costs On Your Account
Spreads on gold vary a lot between brokers and account types, and on a short-term strategy those costs matter. Check what you'd actually pay during busy hours, not just the advertised minimum.
Five: Running Several EAs Without Separating Them
If more than one EA trades on the same account, each needs its own identifier, usually a magic number, or they can interfere with each other's trades. Check this setting before you add a second EA.
Six: Judging By Days
A handful of trades is noise. Give any system several weeks, and compare its drawdown with the worst stretch you saw in testing.
Seven: Funding It With Money You Can't Afford To Lose
This one matters most. Decide the amount you could lose without it affecting your life, and never go beyond it.
