Everything you actually need to start trading forex — a computer, MetaTrader, and a broker account — explained by a bloke who’s made every mistake first. No dream-selling, no fake screenshots, just the honest starting line.

My grid EA turned $100k into $130k on demo in five weeks. Then I parsed all 3,456 trades — and the log contradicted what I believed about deep baskets, time-stops, and a change I’d already shipped. Where I was wrong.

I ran seven versions of my own Keltner Channel gold EA side by side for three weeks. Six lost money, one made $199 — and the failures taught me more than the winner. The honest scoreboard.
