I have traded manually for 2 years and want to automate. I am not a programmer.
Should I spend the time with FXDreema or learn MQL5 from zero? Roughly how long does each path take to a first working EA? My strategy is trend-following with an ATR stop, nothing exotic.
Honest timelines: FXDreema gets you a first working EA in a weekend, then you plateau around month 3 when you want custom logic. MQL5 from zero takes 2-3 months to competence, but there is no plateau.
Your strategy (trend + ATR stop) is squarely in FXDreema territory. If you already know you'll want complex money management later, bite the bullet and learn MQL5 directly.
A middle path that worked for me: use an AI generator to get a first draft, then study the generated code line by line. You learn MQL from code that does what you asked for, which sticks much better than tutorials about arrays.
ขอบคุณค่ะ! I will try both. Sounds like FXDreema handles my case, and I can learn MQL slowly in parallel with the generated code trick.
