Can I Really Make Money From Trading on the Forex Market Using an Automated Software System?

2008, saw the explosion of many new Forex automated software packages come to the market, in particular for the private trader to use. For the uninitiated, these software programs are known as "expert advisers" or EA's and have also been dubbed Forex "Robots". Tap in any of these keywords into your favourite search engine to see just how many are available. And don't overlook the "testing" sites either; here you'll see even more variations and many of these sites have affiliations with the providers they are showcasing.

The Foreign Currency Exchange (Forex) is a world market dominated by large corporations, governments and other multi-national organisations where more than $3.2 trillion US changes hands each and every day. Wow!..... $100,000 a year income from private trading wouldn't go a miss here, for us mere mortals would it!

Over the past 8 or 9 years, various changes in this market paved the way for private traders to be able to become part of this "manly trading arena"; prior to these changes, very little private trading actually took place as the starting block came in around the $100,000 mark per order; and you don't usually buy or sell just 1 order in this market, either.

This is a pertinent point to note when considering the purchase of any particular expert adviser; I have seen several websites promote the fact that the trader behind the new software being sold off the page "has been trading the Forex market for more than 20 years"........ really? Well probably not on their own account!

This brings me nicely on to the fact that I must state in my (humble) opinion, many of the software programs being heavily sold online are dubious to say the least. Between the summer of 2008 and 2009, I went on a small shopping spree and purchased many as the whole subject fascinated me to the point where I eventually gave up my financial business of 25 years. (which should tell you something regards that question in the heading.... get it right and you can make some serious money! More later)

So that's the negative part out of the way.

I'm proud to say that of the genuine programs that I came across, most gave very reasonable results over the first 3 or so months of using them - and I did go straight in with real money (not too much) rather than test on demo accounts, etc, as I'm impatient myself by nature.

Notice I mentioned those that performed well all seemed to do so over the first 3 or so months? Well, that's because I later found out about how the Forex Market evolves over time.

It actually moves in ebbs and flows and as it does, some of the finer points of the market characteristics can change...... So what does all that mean?

If the software (expert adviser) has been programmed around a particular trading strategy that relies on multiple indicators coming together to trigger a trading opportunity, it will soon become "out-dated" as the converging signals from the indicators will become "out-of-sink" with the market movements, eventually. And many of the sellers refuse to tell, of the actual trading strategy (as if they all know themselves, anyway) so the buyer just has to take it on face value that the past "astounding" results are, in fact, a true likeness of what's likely to happen in the future.

Don't be put off by this; I only choose to mention it to keep you from being swept away by all the sales pitter-patter of the quick and immense wealth that's being peddled on the sales pages. Keep it real, that's all I'm suggesting.

Always ask what the trading strategy is. This information CAN be given away without it affecting any proprietary information. The testing sites I made reference to earlier will be good for giving you more forthright answers (perhaps) than the direct source. One particular favourite of mine is "4xproject". It's owned by two individuals, the trader's name escapes me but he lives and works in Switzerland; the programmer's name is Michael - whom I've had the pleasure of meeting - and he's based in The UK.

I have actually been trading On The Forex Market since the Autumn of 2005. It wasn't till late in 2007, I learned of automated software that actually traded for you. I felt then as I do now, that the whole concept is so exciting and can be so powerful too, when you get the right software that performs constantly. And yes, I want to give you my own views on a few that I have used and are using. You'll see that in Part 2.

Just so you can see I am a real, live human (and not some made-up name on a one-page website) you can see me and my family at http://www.philipnightingale.co.uk which is more a personal website which I intend to use as a "springboard" for various things I want to bring to people's attention; things that I myself have profited from and could genuinely help the welfare of others with the delivery of sound advice based on my own personal history.

I also have a blog dedicated to my bespoke automated trading system where you will find other good content - all genuine - and in future some free giveaways that if used as I suggest, will get you making money from The Forex Market quickly..... and it really is easy money when it comes. You can visit at http://www.forexphils.blogspot.com where your comment and feedback will always be welcome. Wishing you the greatest success whatever your quest.

Best Forex Automated Systems - This One is Free and Made Millions in Profit!

When looking for the best automated Forex trading systems, a strong contender is the one enclosed and don't think because its free it doesn't work - it does and has for over 20 years...

There is no question Forex trading systems have a bad reputation and this is down to the numerous junk robots that are sold with track records that are simply back tests and not proven. The system we are going to look at here on the other hand has been used by savvy traders around the world for years and works.

The system we are going to look at is the 4 Week Rule and it was devised by one of the great traders Richard Donchian and since the late seventies it's been at the heart of some of the top traders systems - even trading legend Richard Dennis was a fan so you know your in good company.

The system is incredibly simple and you don't even need a computer to run it - it has one simple rule, so lets look at it.

Buy a new 4 week high and reverse the position when a new 4 week low is hit - keep buying the 4 week high and selling the 4 week low and always maintain a position in the market.

You can't get much more simple than that and but if you think about the logic it's soundly based.

1. it's a very simple breakout system and it's a fact that most major trends start from breaks to new market highs or lows.

2. By its very nature its long term and if you look at a Forex chart, you will see the big trends can last many months or longer.

3. This system as it is always in the market so is guaranteed to put you on the side of every big trend.

It's also got some other great advantages, it's quick to implement about 15 minutes a day max and gives you a set trading signal with no subjective judgement needed.

Despite the fact it works and will continue to work most traders won't bother with it and here are the reasons why.

1. They think its to simple despite the fact it works

2. They want to buy tops and bottoms exactly, despite the fact you can't do this

3. Its to long term and traders always like action and lack the discipline to hold long term trends

4. It's not complex - traders think this increases chances of success but of course the opposite is true - simple systems are more robust.

5. It's not based on fancy theories chaos, neural networks, artificial intelligence etc - these theories don't work in Forex but again traders love them.

6. There is no fancy packaging or a ridiculous name that insinuates taking on and beating the market.

Most traders pick junk robots with simulated track records and fall for the hype. This automated Forex trading system has no hype but plenty of profits and I know which system I would rather have!

The system works and will continue to work and if you are interested in long term profits take a look at it and it can increase your chances of forex trading success.

Does an Automatic Forex Trading System Really Work?

Are automated Forex trading systems a scam or do they really work to make money? The idea of a robot trading the currency markets and making money automatically may seem unbelievable to many people, but this type of software really does exist today and is helping many traders get their life back instead of having to watch their computer screens every day.

1. How Do Automated Forex Trading Systems Work?

These systems are able to work because the trading platform MetaTrader4 is able to support the auto trading software, also known as Expert Advisors. These Expert Advisors are attached to currency pair charts, and they can trade for the user based on the internal system that the programmer has coded into the software. It is very easy to install and only requires the user to input the parameters before it can start working.

When activated by the user, these automated trading robots will watch the markets on their own and enter trades when conditions of the internal system are met.

2. Why Are Traders Looking To Use Automated Forex Trading Systems Today?

Firstly, trading the Forex markets requires a lot of skill. The only people who make money from currency trading consistently every month usually have years of trading experience and have had numerous losing months to learn their lessons. Beginners who cannot afford to suffer losses to their trading capital will usually not consider Forex trading at all.

However, with the introduction of automated Forex trading systems, anyone with absolutely no trading experience can start making money in the currency market while learning it at the same time. Nowadays, I use a trading software that trades Forex and makes money for me automatically. You can find out more about it at the website link below.
