I’d ask: “I’ve tried a few common indicators with limited success—what’s your take on combining them with price action at key levels? Based on my experience, layering simple tools often works better than chasing one ‘powerful’ indicator.

From my experience, custom indicators can help, but beware - log scale may distort price action. I’d suggest testing on demo before committing real money.

I see posts promoting “100 % signals” and, from what I’ve experienced, that’s always a red flag. No signal service consistently delivers—your own testing, analysis, and risk control matter more than any “perfect” alert

It seems the consensus is that off-the-shelf scalping EAs are rarely plug-and-play. For those who've found or developed EAs that show some promise for scalping, what were the core principles or logic that made them even partially successful? Was it a specific type of entry/exit, or perhaps how...

Have you considered HFM, IB or similar brokers which is known for existing more than 10 years in the market?

This is a really important topic for me as I'm just starting and already feeling the sting of even small demo losses. It's easy to say manage risk, but what are some concrete first steps for a beginner to actually do that and avoid the temptation to win back losses?

I guess you had to choose better broker and the situation would take a much better turn. Lots of things in trading depend on the right place to trade

Yeah, there is! Stop trading: you get zero risk, but zero return in exchange. Risk and return go hand by hand

MDD is max drawdown? Or some other performance metrics is called like that? Would you mind sharing all performance metrics you use when choosing the signal vendor?
