What is the Best Forex Trading System?

By Bart Icles

There are two types of Forex trading systems available to Forex traders that can be applied individually or in combination. There is the automated or software based Forex trading system, or otherwise known as "robots", and the manual or standard Forex trading system. Both systems have its advantages and disadvantages over the other, but to judge what is the best of the two depends solely on the purpose and the end results it affords to the user.

Automated Forex trading software takes out the human factor in calculating and generating Forex trading signals with no human intervention and emotion involved, and automatically does all the buying and selling to Forex brokers. This type of system saves time, money, and effort for the trader; instead of personally doing the research on technical analysis and relying on any Forex broker for Forex trade signals, the system does it all for you. The operation of this system is not complicated and only requires that you have a stable Internet connection and a reliable computer system. There are many affordable and excellent "automated Forex trading software systems available on the market today which you can chose from, and some are even provided free as part of the trading account's purchased from Forex brokers or traders.

There are two kinds of "automated Forex trading software systems": the desktop-based system and the web-based system.

The desktop-based system stores all Forex related information on your desktop computer's hard drive. Using this system is somewhat inadvisable and unpopular among majority of Forex traders as it allows susceptibility and corruption of valuable data related to Forex trading from viruses and other security issues. In a worst case scenario, should you chose to use this system, is that once your computer breaks down or crashes, all stored important data might be lost and be irretrievable. Also, this type of system is more costly compared to the other types of automated trading system.

The web-based system is more secure, and all your Forex data and accounts are provided for by your web-based provider on secured servers. Its much more convenient as no software is required on your part, and all you have to do is to log on to their website.

Using the standard Forex trading system requires traders to rely on fundamental and technical analysis of the trading market, knowledge of Forex strategies, and some adequate trading experience while doing real time (online) trading. All information is then taken into account by the trader before deciding what actions to take in his trade transactions. This type of Forex trading system is suitable for Forex traders who are fully committed to the trade without typical time constraints and other restrictions. - 23208
