【TC-Angel Developer's Confession】Why I Chose to Publicly Release My "Truly Profitable EA" Instead of Keeping It to Myself

The TC-Angel EA

My Soul-Built Trading System After 2+ Years of Obsessive Development

This EA (TC-Angel) is the culmination of over two years of relentless design, development, and testing — my life's work poured into code.

While I will continue to improve it whenever better ideas emerge, I can confidently say: this is the finished product. At this point, there’s nothing more I can do to make it better.

Below, I want to share the raw, unfiltered story behind its creation — including the inconvenient truths I usually keep hidden.

“Quitting My Job and Drawing Mind Maps in a Cheap Izakaya”

About six years ago, I quit my corporate job.

My only reason was simple: “I want to make money doing what I love.”

Before resigning, I thought long and hard about my ideal lifestyle. One vision stood out above everything else:

“Build an automatic system that keeps generating money even while I sleep.”

Looking back now, it was an incredibly naive dream. But at the time, I was dead serious. Every night, I sat alone in a cheap izakaya, scribbling mind maps and convincing myself that Forex Expert Advisors (EAs) could make that dream a reality.

Fortunately, I knew several consistently profitable traders. I absorbed everything they taught me and began developing various indicators and tools.

At the same time, I made a firm decision: “I will absolutely create an EA that trades exactly like these winning traders.”

They used trend-following strategies — entering in the direction of the move and steadily taking 10–15 pips. It sounded simple: “Just program their rules into code.”

But reality hit hard.

A program cannot see the chart like a human. It only looks at local data — the current candle and maybe one or two previous ones. What looks like a valid setup in numbers can easily be a trap in the bigger picture.

“The Betrayal of Perfect Backtests”

During this dark period, I discovered Zone Recovery and Grid/Hedging strategies — systems that theoretically “never lose.”

When the backtest showed “three straight years of profit with zero losses,” I thought I had finally made it.

But live trading destroyed that dream. Even the most sophisticated hedging logic eventually collapsed during extreme market conditions, wiping out the account in a single blow.

Why I Chose the “Hated” Martingale (Nampin) Approach

“For an EA, the Martingale (averaging down/up) logic is the most effective approach.”

The internet is full of warnings: “Martingale EAs always blow up eventually.” Those warnings are correct — in a way.

But here’s my core reasoning:

The ultimate goal of any EA is to minimize the probability of total account destruction.

Since 60–70% of the market is ranging, using counter-trend entries with averaging dramatically increases the win rate — often to over 90%.

Adding strong filters to avoid major news and violent trends can push the probability even higher — close to 95%.

The Game-Changing “AI Filter”

The biggest breakthrough came with the introduction of AI technology.

By integrating an advanced AI filter, the EA can now detect dangerous trend signals early and automatically avoid high-risk entries.

This dramatically improved the system’s safety.

“Martingale EAs can and will lose everything at some point. Please always keep that in mind.”

My Real Goal: “Make $65–70 Per Day”

I didn’t build this EA to chase millions. My dream was much simpler:

“If I can reliably make $65–70 per day, I can live comfortably without stress.”

The standard version supports three currency pairs: EURUSD, GBPUSD, and USDJPY.

Recommendation: Run multiple pairs together. TC-Angel has a built-in safety system — if any pair has an open position, the EA will not open new positions on other pairs. This increases opportunities while keeping risk controlled.

For experienced traders, I also recommend the Gold (XAUUSD) discretionary version.

The Only Way to Keep Profits with Martingale

Since this system will eventually face a losing streak, here is the only sustainable way to use it:

Withdraw profits regularly and keep your trading capital fixed at the minimum.

“Always move profits to another account as soon as they appear.”

Final Chapter: Why I’m Releasing This EA Publicly

Many people ask: “If it’s so good, why not keep it to yourself?”

That’s exactly what I wanted to do.

But here’s the honest truth: During the long development process, I blew through my own trading capital countless times. By the time TC-Angel was finally complete, I no longer had enough money left to trade it effectively.

That is the real reason I decided to release it to the public.

I hope you will try it — even on a demo account first — and feel the power of the system I spent over two years building.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading until the end.

I look forward to talking with you personally.

Thank you again.
