I am sometimes rather busy so it is impossible for me to do manual trading and when it is busy I usually use EA but I limit to what market session.

So far I have not even known EA, I have never used EA and I am not interested in trading using EA, I prefer trading manually forever.

If you already feel comfortable with manual trading, please just continue, sir, because later if you move to EA, it could be that your trading will be problematic

still have manual trading and then I use EA, for me maybe if all of them are equally important, the two are equally important, depending on the time and also our trading style.

Whatever it is, both are EAs or manuals for everyone as important. Using EA or manual trading has the same profit potential but it will have a different impact where manual trading for me might be better.

I most often trade manually and I rarely use EA even though I have also used it, I prefer manual because I think EA is less flexible and must always update the system.

absolutely right, sir. I also want to continue trading manually and will not use EA unless I understand the character of an EA or I can create my own EA ;D

I do both, I trade manually while trading using EA but my use of EA is limited only to test the strategy or trading system that I will use manually.

I prefer manual trading because I enjoy it, if trading with EA I have done it, but I rarely do it unless I'm not busy.

when compared then between manual trading and trading with EA will be very different and many of these differences can actually complement each other, each also has strengths and weaknesses and we combine well.

relative in my opinion, manual trading has advantages and disadvantages as well as trading using EA. Both are very complementary so we can use as wisely as possible.

EA in my opinion is only to complement when we are busy with work other than trading so that we can still trade automatically

I tend to prefer manual trading over EA because I am not very good at doing good EA and EA updates. The price is quite expensive.

EAs must be tested in a comprehensive manner and for a minimum period of 3 months, after that, they can only use the EA and must be evaluated periodically.
Testing before using EA is mandatory to find out the results, you can do a demo account.
do not carelessly use EA, especially free ones that have not been tested.

between EA and manual trading in my opinion both are the same in terms of strategies differ only auto and manual only and also treat both where EA must be updated manually while manual trading must be updated by itself because it is always monitored.
