Learning to create EA> is it good?

Do you think as a trader, learning to make an ea would be more useful for me, or focusing more on my trading skills?

difficult question for me..... it might be better to focus on trading skills first....

coding ea's, indicators and scripts consumes much of my day...... and would not trade without them,...... but freely admit i'd long since starved if i would have learned to code effectively first....

both learning to trade and learning to code will take considerable time.... at least in my case.....h

EA's rarely work in the long term. Its a good hobby though.

Judging by the experience of my friends, of course skills is the most important thing

Learning to create Expert Advisors can be beneficial for several reasons. Personally, delving into EA creation has given me a deeper understanding of algorithmic trading and allowed me to automate strategies. It provides more control over my trading, reduces emotional involvement, and allows for systematic testing and optimization. However, it requires time and effort to grasp coding and algorithmic concepts. If you enjoy both trading and programming, it's a valuable skill to acquire.
