In 2026, I’m building in public.
Last year, I hid myself.
This year, I’m choosing visibility, consistency, and learning here.
I’m a forex trader automating strategies into profitability.
Let’s connect. ❤️
If you have MarketMommy, MonaTrades, DodgysDD, WoR, ICT, Jinzo, JLoc, TradeNate_ and BenjaminSMC on your timeline,
The X algorithm already knows that you’re an unprofitable trader and you’ll never be profitable so it feeds you entertainment content instead.
@itsmecharlyyy That was just the first test to make sure the EA is taking trades properly. I am still working.
Was just updating the initial post I made on building out that strategy...
First backtest for Strategy A...
9 trades, $106.85 net profit, profit factor 1.99, 66.67% win rate on a one month test.
Edge is there. But EA isn't capturing a lot of huge trades that reverse back to break even.
Building my most complex EA so far. 3 different strategies under the the control of one master EA - managing risk, deciding strategy for different market conditions...

Both of these lessons came from building EAs the hard way first.
The AI EA Guide is what I wish I had before that.
Not because it does the thinking for you — because it gives you the framework to catch the gaps before they become backtesting nightmares.

Two things I've learned that have saved me more time than any coding trick:
A strategy with gaps doesn't become gap-free once it's in MQL5. It becomes a gap-filled EA.
The best time to find missing logic is before you write the first prompt — not after 3 rounds of debugging.

There are two types of strategy gaps:
Type 1 — Fillable gaps. The source material doesn't specify, but there's an industry standard or logical default.
Example: No spread buffer defined→ use 1.5x ATR(14) as padding. Defensible. Testable.
Type 2 — Unfillable gaps. The gap is
a core decision that changes the entire system depending on how you fill it.
Example: TheStrat's entry — stop breakout vs. FVG retracement. Filling this gap means choosing a different strategy entirely.
Type 1 gaps I can work around.
Type 2 gaps mean I stop building until I
The most dangerous trading content online isn't scams.
It's strategies that are 80% complete.
Scams are obvious eventually. You lose money, you learn, you move on.
An 80% complete strategy is harder to escape.
It works sometimes — enough to keep you in. The presenter is
credible. The chart reads look clean.
But somewhere in the missing 20% is the exact information an EA or even your brain needs to function.
Your position sizing. Your precise entry trigger. Your conflict resolution when two conditions contradict.
That 20% is what separates a
I spent hours trying to turn TheStrat into an EA.
I found 6 contradictions, 4 sections with missing logic, and zero — literally zero — position sizing rules across 3 video sources.
Here's what that analysis actually taught me about building EAs: 🧵
line of MQL5, every decision point in the strategy must be resolved.
Not estimated. Not assumed. Resolved.
Because the moment the EA runs, every gap becomes a bad trade.
I'd rather spend 2 hours closing gaps before building than spend 2 weeks debugging a backtest that fails
