Step 1: Identify Your Trading Style
Your trading style determines which EA will work best for you. Here are the main categories:

- Pairs: Majors + Gold (XAU/USD)
- Notes: Requires low-spread broker (ECN account recommended)
Swing Trading
You hold trades for 1-5 days, prefer capturing larger moves, and don't want to watch charts constantly.
