Can automated forex trading software trade efficiently in the money markets? Can you allow a machine to decide for you when you trade in currencies?
Beacause you needed to think about that question should give you a clue of a large problem you have. Of course the disadvantage you have is your ability to doubt things.
Expert Advisors
Automated forex trading software works by utilizing an expert advisor or EA. This is simply a set of indicators that inform you of a trading opportunity if all parameters are met. These are then programmed into a script and used in the software. It is possible to do the actual analysis on your own and you could reach the same result, that a trade is possible. But what happens next?
The problem with being human is you might doubt the indicators or not trust yourself. Or you might just get some hunch and not enter the market. This is a future prediction after all. A good thing about the software is that it doesn’t think.
Predictable Currency Pairs
The other major advantage with a robot is its ability not to get bored. It can basically sit before the monitor 24 hours studying the numbers and doing the technical analysis. People often find this difficult to do. Continue Reading »

1. Check the payment processing company. First and foremost this will inform you if it is a scam. If the payment processor used is an upfront operation that you can check up on then you can be sure the vendor won’t rip you off.

Well trading was going well until an email arrived from our Broker. Working with Scalping software had posed a problem and they were unable to fund hedging on the trades as the time frames were too short. So no more scalping for the time being, but we are allowed to trade long term, so back to a fresh demo account and run some new setup trials.
Pitty, as the trades were going well and we were in a comfortable profit with ForexTurbo.
Had an email a couple of weeks ago offering us a new Forex EA, Auto Scalper. Well it didn’t cost anything so set up another demo account for a run. Just as well, this EA would have sent us broke. It will not run parallel to ForexTurbo and even on its own. It appeared to read the movement the wrong way, going long when all the signs were short, the stop loss and take profit positions are so wide that combined with the wrong position, the losses are staggering unless one intervenes.
First day it lost us about 20% of our account, then managed to recover it over a week or so, before going back to its’ old tricks of going long when the signals were short.
So the new trading currency venture has started, a bunch of bucks have been committed and the computer is pinging away as the automatic Forex trading system goes to work. The trouble is it feels like I am burying my head in the sand and keeping my fingers crossed… very tightly!
There is a lot happening and I don’t know much about it, the thirst for knowledge becomes overwhelming.
The more one looks at the charts, the more one wants to understand what is happening.
Having traded shares I had an understanding of ‘Moving Averages’, ‘Support and Resistance Levels’, ‘Trend Lines’ plus a few other terminologies often used in trading. But now there were a bunch of new ones that appeared critical to an understanding of Forex trading.
I found a huge amount of information on trading currency, but much of it was fragmented and not brilliant for a layman’s mind. Then I met Dr Pipslow, the ancient and revered master of Forex wisdom, who after many years of self imposed exile and meditation, is believed to have attained the ultimate understanding of Forex.
The good Dr. together with a few other colleagues of great wisdom created the School of Pipsology, which is probably the ultimate guide for the newby trader. It will take you from pre-school to college graduate via many pages of high quality tutorials plus exams to keep you on your toes.
With this knowledge, I was capable of comprehending what was happening on screen, even to the point of trying to predict what was going to happen next. A great way of finding out just how little I did know!
The School of Pipsology also has a brilliant Forum that will both bewilder and amuse, but underneath is full of insights and trading techniques from people with a wealth of experience in trading currency.
When searching for good ways to make money, one system that kept on cropping up was the Forex currency trading system. Currency trading was something I had always considered exclusive to the ‘top end of town’, the Big $$$ Boys. But as I discovered, things had changed!
Over the years we’d done some share trading and had both made and lost money. Following the Enron crash with the total loss of that investment, our focus had switched from shares to real estate (and we all know where that’s gone currently).
I felt very unsure about putting money into an type of investment where I had no control and where profit or loss could be influenced by traders and management.
