Instead of relying entirely on a trader to manually\n        monitor charts and respond to every market movement, an EA can\n        continuously evaluate predefined conditions.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <p>\n        Those conditions may include price action, trend direction,\n        technical indicators, market structure, momentum, volatility,\n        time filters and risk-management parameters.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <p>\n        When the programmed conditions are satisfied, the Expert Advisor\n        can perform the action specified by its strategy. Depending on\n        how the EA has been designed and configured, this might involve\n        identifying a potential setup, generating an alert, opening a\n        position, managing an existing trade or closing a position.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"callout\">\n\n        <p>\n            <strong>Important:<\/strong> An Expert Advisor does not\n            independently \u201cthink\u201d like a human trader.
