What's your greatest trading challenge when using automated systems? - page 2

 
Alain Verleyen #:

1. When quoting someone please use the "Reply" button or the "Quotation" style. I had to read 2 times and carefully your initial post to be sure what is quoted and what is from you.

2. On English-language forums, bold is best used sparingly and purposefully. The general best practice is to use bold to highlight a key point, important term, or main conclusion — not just to make text look nicer. If everything is bold, nothing is.

3. I didn't fix the punctuation, the additional space, or the wrong uppercase usage.

Please don't take anything personally, it's not.

Yeah thanks I was just having a little dig . You are indeed correct ,  I  copied the quote and it auto wrote in bold the rest .

I have been in this game for decades and I have doubled accounts...

I see that you created your mql5.com Profile in November of 2023. How long have you been using MT5?

[B]ack tests are mostly trash...

A tool is only as good as its user. This principle applies to many things including chainsaws, firearms, the Strategy Tester, etc.

You don't have to create an account to use MT5 , many years and been trading many many years . I seen that stroke through your name  and was kinda hoping you'd be banned for 3 months instead of 24 hrs but alas , maybe next time 🥳.

We are very tolerant, despite what some people are thinking. 🙏

Don't hold your breath.😉 That alleged ban was overturned by the Service Desk within 24 hours, and was my 2nd ban appeal win. No one is perfect. Moderators are people too.

Please prove that the Service Desk answer's you about this ban and lift it.

Without a proof, you will be banned again. We don't accept your attitude anymore.

From Miguel Angel Vico Alba  2025.09.07 15:40 in a blog:

"In most cases, when the system bans you, it is correct. If you believe it is not, you should open a ticket in the Service Desk and request a review of the ban."


Is the following post an acceptable attitude:

This is a proof that your ban was not lifted, but was executed (1 day). 

We can accept people lying and trying to discredit the moderators team which is doing a HUGE work behind the scene.

We have other things to do that manage people like you. Banned 1 month.
