Profitable trading using Forex Robots

Forex robots or Expert Advisors (EA) are the applications that automatically open and close the trades on the Forex market. The trading using forex robots is called automated trading and it can be very profitable.

Automated trading is very suitable for those who want to participate in the Forex market, but do not have the time to dedicate themselves fully to the trading. It useful for those traders who have the problem with emotions, concentration and with the ability to follow a previously set strategy. Also, the traders who can't achieve better result manually would consider the Expert Advisors.

For automated trading, you need a computer with a good Internet connection and MetaTrader 4 platform installed. You will need a Forex broker that is providing Metatrader 4 as a trading platform and that is allowing trading with EAs. Finally, you need an Expert Advisor installed.

So, which EA to chose? The offer on the Internet is huge. Unfortunately, lots of them are scams. Either they are not profitable or they ask for an unlimited amount of money. Well, I have selected two that are profitable and guarantee a quick return of investment.

• Forex Growth Bot
• Trading pairs:  EURUSD on 15-minute time-frame
• Average weekly gain: 2.63%

Finally, when you get the Expert Advisor, firstly I strongly advise reading the manual first and get familiar with the entry parameters. Secondly, test your EA on a demo account for 1 to 3 months before you start using it on a live account.

Happy trading!

Manual Trading vs Automated Trading

There is a constant debate on which type of trading is better: manual trading or automated one (using EA robots)? Well, while surfing on the Internet you will find different opinions about this subject. Some would opt for manual, while others will say automated one and both sides will have good arguments to support their stance.

After being an active participant in the Forex market for several years and having tried both techniques I would say that both are good. Actually, the right question should be: Which style suits you better as a trader? The fact is that EA robots cannot replace human thinking, but also robots are not affected by greed and emotions, two big human weaknesses that affect the traders. The robots can work on the market for a longer period of time and they won't miss a trade due to lack of concentration. Also, the truth is that the experienced human trader will earn more than a robot.

So, which style to choose? Well, it depends on you. If you can overcome greed and emotions, if you can trade in full discipline following the rules set previously and if you can fully dedicate yourself to the trading than chose manual one. But if you see trading as a second job, if you are vulnerable to greed and to emotions, automated trading will be the one for you.

For those that chose automated trading, there are two options left: you can create your own EA robot using MQL or any other programming language, or you can buy one. But be careful, if you decide to buy a robot because there are very few commercial ones that can trade profitably. Lots of scams are offered on the Internet. So, I advise you to find an independent review before you decide to buy a robot.

Safe Scalping with EURCHF – A trading strategy

In September 2011 when SNB introduced 1.2 floor, the pair EURCHF has been trading in relatively tight range reaching the highest value at 1.264. Since September 2012, I have been using a simple scalping strategy for that pair and it helped me to earn 20% per month on average.

The strategy is based on the assumption that 1.2 floor will remain. Well, in the past year and a half SNB has been very successful in defending that floor and it states that will continue to defend it with utmost determination. It is realistic to believe that in the long term the pair will not only remain above the floor, but also will return to the values that are much higher than the current one, as Europe and USA are slowly coming out of the recession.

The prerequisite for the scalping strategy is that your broker has a small spread on EURCHF pair (not higher than 2.5 pips) and a positive swap on long entry. If your broker does not meet these demands, try the strategy with a different one. If you have a problem with finding such broker I warmly recommend Exness, I have been trading with them for the past six months and I am very satisfied. Another prerequisite is that the price of the pair is lower than 1.24.

The strategy itself is very simple, enter the long trade following the rules for any other scalping strategy. I was very successful using a 5min blue trend rider and THV3. Just in case, when I enter the trade, I always put stop loss at 1.1980 level. Next, wait till exit rule for your scalping strategy is met (by scalping strategy I meant here 5min blue trend rider or THV3), and if your trade is in gain exit the trade. If your trade is not in gain leave it and wait till it will become profitable. Swap is working in your way now! In the meantime, you can enter another trade on a new long entry signal. In a period while I was using the strategy I never had more than four trades opened.

Money management I was using is 0.1 lots for every $400 on my account balance and I am careful that I have enough money for 4 trades. So, if I have $1600 on my account, it will be enough for four 0.1 long trades.
