The EA is constantly "listening" to the market. It receives a stream of real-time data, including price ticks (bid and ask prices), historical candlestick data (Open, High, Low, Close), and technical indicators (Moving Averages, RSI, MACD, etc.). Some advanced EAs also ingest fundamental data, such as economic calendars and news releases.
Check the EA once daily. Update the VPS software. Watch for "stuck" orders or logic errors.
You can code your own simple EA in 2 weeks using YouTube tutorials. Platforms like "MQL5 Tutorial" and "EarnForex" offer free code snippets.
: No EA guarantees profit. Technical failures, internet issues, or sudden "black swan" market events can result in significant financial loss.
