Experience with Benefit EA
Alright, I've used Benefit EA for a good while now. Does it print money? No, it doesn't. Does it lose money? Occasionally. The trick is to optimize the settings and maybe sacrifice a chicken or two for good luck. Here are some things I've noticed:- Its risk management is decent but not fool-proof. Always keep an eye on it.
- Performance can vary per market condition. It doesn't have a crystal ball.
- Backtesting results are promising, but live trading is a different beast.
Tips for Improving Benefit EA's Performance
So you're already neck-deep into using Benefit EA and you want to make it actually do some good? Here are a few tips:- Optimize Regularly: Market conditions change. If you think you can set it and forget it, rethink your life choices.
- Trade on Multiple Pairs: Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Diversify your trades.
- Use VPS: Ensure that your trading isn't affected by network issues. Use a Virtual Private Server (VPS) for better reliability.
- Keep an Eye: Regular monitoring is crucial. This isn’t a Ronco rotisserie machine where you can just set it and forget it.
