From Manual Burnout to Building My Own Algo Ecosystem (4 Years Journey)

Hi everyone,

I’ve been reading this forum for a while and finally decided it was time to step out of the shadows and introduce myself.
My journey in trading started about 4 years ago. Like many here, my first two years were defined by the classic manual trading rollercoaster: staring at charts, fighting my own psychology, and struggling to stay disciplined when real money was on the line. I knew my analysis was decent, but my execution was flawed by human emotions.
I’ve always been passionate about development, and around year 3, I had a "lightbulb moment." I realized I could merge my two obsessions: coding and trading. I started diving deep into algorithmic trading and building my own scripts. What started as simple alerts quickly escalated into full-blown custom tools to protect my equity.
Over the past year, this culminated in the creation of my personal master-tool, which I call Snowfall. It’s a private, centralized dashboard that handles everything for me: automated risk and lot size management across multiple MT5 accounts, AI-driven economic news filtering, and Random Forest analysis.

Snowfall will remain strictly for my personal use(maintenance takes up all my time.), but building it completely transformed my approach to the markets. By taking the "human" out of execution, I finally achieved true consistency, leading to my first successful FTMO challenge earlier this year.

I’m joining Trade2Win today to share what I’ve learned about risk automation, discuss MQL5/development, and keep learning from the veterans here. There’s always a new puzzle to solve in the markets!

Looking forward to connecting with you all.
