@oriazi Absolutely. Producing alpha with automated investing is 100% possible and I've been consistently (and overall) profitable since 2015 from automated investing.
However, I rarely trade forex anymore.
I started off with FX and small caps, did quite well in small caps, then mostly transitioned into swing trading & long-term investing.
I mostly just build / test my strategies on surmount since they have everything I need, but if I'm building a FX strategy I still do enjoy playing around on here
