Your balance, FX Blue and MyFXBook can't tell you if your EA is really making you money.

By Alan Solarsh · 10 November 2026

Your balance, FX Blue and MyFXBook can't tell you if your EA is really making you money.

Your balance goes up every time you add a deposit, even in a month where your EA lost. FX Blue and MyFXBook show how the strategy did, not the profit or loss on the money you put in.

We built the FX Account Audit to show you that number. There is now a lesson in your EA course on how it works.

In the lesson:
✅ How the audit works out your real profit or loss, with deposits and withdrawals taken out.
✅ How to see your results EA by EA.
✅ How to connect your MT5 account in about 5 minutes.
✅ Why your investor password is safe. It can only look at your account. It can never place a trade.

We have taken the old FX Blue and MyFXBook lessons out of the course. Use the FX Account Audit from now on.

The Method

You're The Trader. I'm Just The Guide.

Alan Solarsh

I've been scammed, conned, and blew my own accounts chasing the hype. I hit rock bottom — I once split a single shawarma three ways with my kids because it was all I had left. So when I say I know how losing feels, I mean it.

That's why I built a way out — and why I can guide you through it.

I don't trade on hope. I trade the way institutions move: supply and demand zones, candlestick structure, and the moving averages the banks actually use. That became my strategy — with real clients who trade it (you'll meet them below).

Then I built the tools to make it repeatable for you: the robot that runs the discipline automatically, a true-IRR calculator to map your real trajectory, and a COT-data tool on the way.

But tools aren't enough — the hardest part of trading is you. So I teach three rules:

  • Money rules — size every position so you never blow up.
  • Trading rules — when to enter, exit, pause, or sit on your hands.
  • Psychology rules — read your own gut. I believe 50–80% of failure is traders ignoring their intuition. Call it the universe, God, quantum physics — whatever you follow, it's telling you something. Learning to listen is the edge.

You're the hero of this story. I'm just the guide who walked the road, drew the map, and hands you the rules to walk it yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions

Forex Robots · Alive FX (Pty) Ltd

You can begin with around $100. The proven approach is to start small, let the account compound, and add to it monthly. Treat it as a long-term investment you build — not a quick win. Your starting balance matters far less than your discipline and consistency.
Yes. A VPS keeps your robot running around the clock without depending on your home PC or internet staying on. A dedicated VPS setup guide is coming soon — until then, our team will point you in the right direction inside the community.
No trading is ever risk-free, and anyone who tells you otherwise is not being straight with you. What protects you is following the three rules — money management, trading discipline and psychology. Get those right and profit becomes the outcome of skill, not a gamble.
Yes — anyone who trades can lose money. The difference is mindset. A gambler treats it as entertainment and bets blindly. A trader builds an edge with the right skills, the right tools and a mentor guiding them. Risk is real; your job is to manage it, not pretend it away.
We are an education and guidance service — not a financial services provider (FSP). We do not trade on your behalf and we do not give personalised financial advice. We teach you the skills, tools and discipline; every decision and every trade stays yours. You remain in full control of your own account.
Less than most people expect, but not zero. Up front you will spend time learning the candlestick basics and getting comfortable with the robot's settings. After that, a short daily check-in is enough to stay on top of your account.
No. The robot does the heavy lifting on execution, but you stay in the driver's seat. Markets shift, and the people who do best treat this as a skill they keep sharpening — not a switch they flip and ignore. Active learning is what separates results from disappointment.

Risk Disclaimer

1. General

Trading foreign exchange (forex), contracts for difference (CFDs) and other leveraged products carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Before deciding to trade you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience and risk appetite.
