Recently there has been a lot of talk, or maybe it is just hype, about the effectiveness of “Forex trading robots” and how they can quickly help you turn a large profit while you are sleeping or away. The first thing we need to do is discuss exactly what a trading robot or expert advisor (EA) really is. An EA is an automated program that is electronically coded with a trading strategy that will preform trades without human input once it is initiated. It has no ability to add logical thinking or emotions to it trades.

In the interest of full disclosure, I feel an obligation to convey my concerns about these products, and I believe it is critical for the buyer to carefully peruse these programs to assess the importance of his tolerance for investment risk in the futures markets, and whether the specific program is in line with his goals and temperament. Indeed, the best robot programs now available will handle everything for you, including trading decisions, entry and exit points, and protection against increased volatility in the futures markets, all performed with no hesitation. Some of these Automated Forex Trading Robots are developed to allow the trader to make use of his preferred individual investment analysis, or he can tweak the parameters of the built in formulas.

Before you commit to using one of these emotionless tools, you should first consider the following questions: How long was it back tested for? What is its proof or history of winners and its percentage of losers? What is the reputation of the company offering it? What exactly is it designed to trade? It is advisable to be cautious of claims that state a robot can trade anything in the markets. Take the time to research these claims by doing a Google search and checking it out on the different blogs and forums.

However, I do feel that an EA can be beneficial, if used in the right manner, for an experienced trader. Not only will it add to his trading strategies, but it will also give him another indicator to confirm his trade analysis. In other words it could help him have more confidence when trying to decide whether to enter a trade or not, a decision even experienced trader 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.

Keep in mind that no matter what is advertised by these Automated Forex Trading Robots, you can still lose everything. Do you think I am exaggerating? Well, then I suggest that you spend a few minutes perusing the fine print in the purchase contract regarding the responsibility for investment performance.
