Not Every Strategy Is Worth Automating
Before requesting an EA build, it helps to evaluate whether a YouTube strategy has clearly defined, rule-based logic that a computer can execute consistently.
What to Check
- Clear Entry/Exit Rules: Vague discretion ("if it feels right") can't be coded reliably.
- Backtestable History: The strategy should be testable across a meaningful sample of past trades.
- Realistic Risk Management: Position sizing and stop-loss rules should be explicit.
