In particular the official forex accounts like fxcm is offering?
Or do you think it's the best to trade yourself or to create an EA yourself?

Pascal, it is always best to trade for yourself. An EA is one dimentional and can only trade with the market moving in one direction. The market moves in 3 basic directions and that is all. It will either be in a trend, a counter trend or there will be a breakout. You have to have 3 different startegic systems for each way the market is moving or your going to lose money from being in with the wrong system or your going to lose money from not being in the market at all when it's not moving the way your EA needs it to.
1) Trend; the market is moving upwards or downwards ( apx. 35% of the time)
2) counter trend; The market is moving sideways ( apx 60% of the time)
3) Break out: when it breaks out of a trend ot counter trend( apx. 5% of the time)
No EA or just one system can work with all three.
