Automated Forex for Easy Trading

Automated forex trading is defined as the ability to trade forex with the help of a trading program or solution. This type of trading offers the opportunity of diversification to the trader which is most important to capitalize from a market that operates 24 hours a day.
Automated trading makes possible for you to trade in different markets, and also in diverse time zones. You can systematize a multiple trading model and use the automated system to scrutinize short-term data.
You can use this data to find out how the market will move in next 15 minutes or half an hour, and can take the decision accordingly.
Automated trading can be broadly classified into two categories: first - through managed Forex where the trading program executes the trades rather than a human team, and the second is - an independent program in which you can select parameters according to your choice.
Automated Trading + Signal Alerts = Profitable Forex
An can have automatic Forex Signal Alerts that continuously monitor the market for high-probability real-time buy and sell opportunities. This includes precise trade entry and exit signals with a built-in automated trailing stop-losses option.
The system can notify you by email or phone instantly. It can have audio or visual alarms whenever a forex signal is generated. The systems are backed with forex charting software in which you can visualize the movement of the market.
The success of automated trading lies into its capability to conduct the trade in real time, which is almost impractical for a manual or physical trader.
Decisions are executed in milliseconds and that poses an edge over any manual trading systems. Another major problem that can be greatly helped or avoided with automated trading is that it does not demand the physical presence of the trader.
Automated Forex Trading - The Advantages:
· You do not have to physically trade in the system. It is not just mechanical, but is fully programmable.
· It can trade at anytime of the day or night. This increases the profitability to great extent. You need not to wait through non-trending markets and can spend your time in developing new trades.
· It offers greater diversification. You can trade in different markets in different time zones at once.
· You can trade in multiple systems, like systems that work on different types of indicators, or for shorter or longer time frames, which diversifies the risk.
· The models can analyze short-term data. This ensures that you can predict in as short a period of times as fifteen minutes to half an hour.
· Automated trading is unaffected by your psychology or emotions. It performs based on the set criteria and reduces the risk of panic trading. Therefore the system performs faster and more accurate trade execution.
· With automated trading you can develop new methods which are difficult to achieve with human system such as running high frequency of trades using tick data.

 


A History of Trading the Forex Market

Forex currency trading has made massive advancements over recent years and is becoming on the Internets most searched for trading opportunities.
Technological advancements have made Forex an opportunity to make money for everyone from small individual speculators to large multi-national companies.
In reality the principles of Forex trade have existed for centuries but it wasn't until 1967 when the idea of a global system of currency exchange first began to be put together.
A college professor named Milton Friedman famously wanted to take a bank loan in Pounds Sterling (feeling that the currency was overpriced against the dollar) and then sell it before buying it back once the price against the dollar had fallen.
This would allow him to repay the bank and pocket a nice profit for himself. His loan application was declined due to the bretton woods agreement that was in place at the time but this set the wheels in motion for worldwide Forex trading.
The Birth of the Foreign Currency Exchange
In 1971 when floating exchange rates began to materialize and the bretton woods agreement was abandoned, the foreign currency exchange market was born.
This advancement was welcomed with open arms by the International companies who had often noticed big profit changes both positive and negative simply based on the value of their native currency against the value of the currencies in the markets in which they traded their day to business activities.
These companies would see fluctuating exchange rates effect their profit and loss accounts, often with millions being made or lost simply on the value of one currency against another.
It was also these companies that were first to spot the huge money making opportunity currency fluctuations offered and these same companies were the first to leap on to the Forex trading bandwagon and attempt to increase their profit margins through brave yet profitable currency exchange decisions.

 


15 QUESTIONS YOU SHOULD ASK YOUR FOREX BROKER

These questions are based on the above information and relate to basic information that your Forex Broker should answer without hesitation. Or contact and put them to the test; their friendly staff is always happy to answer these and any other questions you may have.
1. How long have you been a Forex Broker?
2. In what financial condition is your company? Will you show me your balance sheet?
3. Do you have good relationships with reputable banks?
4. Who is quoting the rates, my broker, a bank, or multiple banks?
5. Are the spreads fixed of variable?
6. How tight are the spreads?
7. Do you offer Fractional Pip Pricing?
8. Are there any trading restrictions?
9. Can I place orders inside the Spread?
10. Can I earn interest on positive rolls?
11. Can I earn positive rolls at all margin levels?
12. Are rollover rates displayed prominently? Where?
13. Does the trading platform allow me to hedge?
14. Can I lose more money then I put into my account?
15. What is the quality and availability of customer service?
Be aware that trading foreign exchange on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with foreign exchange trading, and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.


There are many Forex Brokers, but not all were created equal. When it comes to your money, you want to be certain that your Broker meets your expectations. It is your right to ask as many questions as you need to feel comfortable about your venture and if you don’t get the answers your want, you should consider finding another Broker.
