Which Is Better Automated Forex Trading Robots Or Manual Trading?
Posted in Forex on 02/19/2010 07:36 am by Parker SmithAs more and more people join the Forex trading market, there has been a lot of talk, or at least hype about “Forex trading robots” and their effectiveness. The claim to be able to make you a lot of profits without you having to babysit them. To be able to know if trading robots or expert advisors (EAs) are effective, you have to understand what they are. An EA is a software program that is electronically coded with a trading strategy or technique that when it is started will trade as programed. However, the trades it makes are based solely on its programed strategy, there are no emotions or gut feelings associated with them.
My honest opinion is that common sense and judgment should always have a part in trades. It is possible to find a quality EA or “Forex trading robot” but you have to find one that is compatible with your strategy and your personality. You need a trading robot that can analyze your trades, preform your entries, stop losses, adjust to the different market conditions, and effectively close trades, without using emotions. You can actually find some EA’s that allow you to program in your own trading strategy or allow you to adjust its settings in a way that its built in strategy works much like your own.
Prior to choosing to utilize one of these electronic thinkers, you should think about he following questions: How long has it been back tested? Is there any proof or history of winnings and losses? What is the reputation of the vendor or company producing it? What exactly is it designed to trade? It is wise to be cautious if a robot claims to be able to trade any thing you want in the markets. Take the time to Google it and research it on different blogs and forums.
However, I also feel that an experienced trader would be the type of trader who would benefit “the most” from an EA. A trading robot is sure to add to his/her trading techniques and the various things he/she uses to analyze trade indicators. This type of software would make even an experienced trader more confident when deciding if it is good to enter a trade, which is a problem that many experienced traders still struggle with.
I would state unequivically that trusting an Automated forex Trading Robot to manage your money without any human safeguards for protection is financial suicide. To remove the investment aspect from this situation, who in their right mind would book an airline reservation for a flight which was totally dependant on a computer to make sure that you arrived safely at your destination? For sure, you would not catch me on that plane.
It is vital to understand that no Forex trading robot can absolutely guarantee that it will produce profits for you. Still don’t agree with me? Then take the time to thoroughly read the the “Terms and Conditions” or “Disclaimer notice” of any of these robots, and make an informed decision for yourself.
