# Trading Style

* **Aggressive** – High-frequency trading. The EA opens more positions, targeting **shorter-term opportunities** with faster market engagement. → Suited for active traders and those seeking higher profit potential—but with **increased exposure and drawdown risk**.
* **Conservative** – Low-frequency trading. The EA takes **fewer, more selective trades**, focusing on long-term setups and stable performance. → Ideal for cautious traders or smaller accounts prioritizing **consistency and reduced risk**.

{% hint style="info" %}
This option determines the **trading style** the EA will adopt, influencing trade frequency and market engagement.

Use **Aggressive** for fast-paced, high-volume trading, and **Conservative** for steadier, lower-risk strategies.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
*Choose a style that aligns with your trading goals and risk appetite. Aggressive mode may increase profit potential but also raises exposure.*
{% endhint %}

The **Trading Style** you select will influence how frequently the EA opens trades and how it engages with market opportunities.

**🔸 Aggressive**

* High-frequency trading
* Opens more positions targeting short-term opportunities
* Faster engagement with the market
* **Suited for active traders** seeking higher profit potential

{% hint style="danger" %}
Aggressive mode increases market exposure and drawdown risk. On small accounts or during volatile periods, this may lead to faster drawdowns and increased stress.\
It’s **not recommended for users with low risk tolerance** or small capital.
{% endhint %}

**🔹 Conservative**

* Low-frequency trading
* Takes fewer, more selective trades
* Focuses on long-term setups and stability
* **Ideal for cautious traders** or smaller accounts prioritizing consistency

🎯 **Tip:** Choose the style that aligns with your risk tolerance and trading objectives.

> Start with **Conservative mode** if you're unsure or just getting started. You can always switch to Aggressive later after forward testing and evaluating the EA’s behavior.
