Yes you can do that, but then you distort the true trading performance of the EA and you will not learn to trust it will be profitable over the long term without your intervention. The idea of using EA’s is to let them do the trading without your intervention. But, that is your choice!
I would like to invite you to take a look at the new portfolio of EA’s I am working on so you can see what I am doing. The link shows the performance after 7 days without my intervention. It has now been trading for 11 days. I will update the performance this weekend. This is what you want! This way you don’t have to sit in front of the computer all the time waiting to manually close a trade. It also allows you to work on new portfolios in the future to further diversify your overall trading risk. If the portfolio proves to do well by the end of the year I will use it to copy trade to a 200K or greater prop firm account.
