Wall Street at Home - Forex Robots
Forex trading has taken the entrepreneurial world by storm, in the last ten years it has become so popular that the market has increased to see over 3 trillion dollars being traded on it every day. Since the introduction of spread betting platforms and super fast internet connections, people with little or no trading experience have been giving the foreign exchange market a go. Unfortunately the majority lose all or most of their investment either through their own mistakes or forex robots that don't match their claims.
For the inexperienced or part time trader using a forex robot can seem to have all the answers. It takes little time to use a forex robot so you can concentrate on other things and if you do not really know what you are doing, then it doesn't matter because the robot does it for you. So you hope.
It does not take a genius to look around the forums and read some of the horror stories people talk about. How their forex robot performed impeccably until one day it just got it completely wrong and cleaned out the account. Why does this happen and why does it seem to happen to every robot.
The answer is in the programming; forex robots are designed to read technical data from the past and expect to act on it in the future, the problem is that the market is ever changing and past data only has a percentage of the information needed to make successful trading decisions. In a nutshell they will only be correct as long as the market keeps repeating itself.
What is needed is a robot that can decipher the information as it happens and act on it straight away instead of being stuck in an old formula that is now failing. Adapting to the current market situation is where and why professional traders will always come out on top unless of course a robot can be built that acts in this way.
Before you buy a forex robot insist on seeing it being tested on a live Meta Trader 4 account, this is easily done with an investor account. When you open a live trading account you have the option to give out username and password to investors that can log into the account for read only purposes. They cannot change anything, place trades or alter any settings. Anyone selling a forex robot that works will be happy to set this type of proof up. It is basically a way of watching the forex robot go to work live on real time prices for as long as you want.
