If they are that good then everyone would use them and the sb companys would do something about them.
Hi coxylad
A couple of things...
1) I have heard that MT4 doesn't run on Mac. Even if it did you will need to get a VPS which runs Windows.
2) You have to find the right brokers with low spreads. Generally its better to pay commision because then you can be assured (to a certain extent). There are no SB companies which allow MetaTrader4 as far as I am aware.
Some EAs do work, but they still do not compare to a well thought out manual strategy. There is no point spending all your time going through EA scams just to find the 1 out of 1,000 commercial EAs that actually makes a return.
There are websites out there which are dedicated to reviewing EAs (ForexPeaceArmy.com and donnaforex.com), but they haven't really made much progress. Every now and then on creeps out of the woodwork and becomes a success, but all that time you have spent testing, waiting, spending, you could have just learnt to trade.
DonnaForex was a person who helped out with FAPT for a while and set up her own website in search for a collection of good EAs. Its been several months now and the whole community who signed up to her service are still looking. They are struggling to find even one that works. FAPT works, but only with some brokers for a limited time. You have to keep chopping and changing.
Take what you want from this, but I reccomend buying a good trading book for about £30 and start from there.
