Creating your Forex Trading Robot

By Mike Ashford

Having an automated forex trading robot is the dream of every forex trader. There would be nothing better than going about your daily duties as you continue making money from an automated forex trading robot. A forex trader has two choices, either go buy an already completed automated system or create your own.

If you do decide to create your own forex trading robot, you need to ensure that your forex trading system is working. This should be done before you go looking for a software developer or using some of the current forex trading robot software available. Some of the considerations in your automated forex software could be

1. What Type of Forex Trader are you

The beauty of the forex market is that you can create forex trading system based on what type of trader you are.

If you prefer trading trends, then your forex trading robot should be based on trend trading. It would not make any sense to create a reversal based system when you are more comfortable trading a trending market.

If you are more concerned about making quick wins and don?t mind choppy markets, then a trend trading automated forex system might not be what you want. Be very honest about the kind of forex trader you are and you will be able to create a winning forex trading robot.

2. How often do You Trade

There are traders who love the thrill of entering and exiting the market as many times as possible. When you are looking for many small quick wins, instead of one big move, one should be creating a reversal or range trading forex trading robot.

Your automated forex trading system should reflect how comfortable you are in the number of trades you make in a day. If you are only comfortable with no more than 3 trades a day, then your automated forex system should reflect the same.

3. Money Management

A forex trading robot with no money management is bound to lose in the long run. Ensure you have built in money management principles that will allow you to trade your automated forex system.

You should be able to know how big a position your forex trading robot can handle given your forex trading capital. I have seen many trading robots that do not take into account losing trading periods. Make sure your trading robot can tell you how much you can afford to lose in a trade and you will be able to profit even during losing trading periods.

Lastly, before you decide to use you new forex trading robot, are you sure it is profitable? If you do not expect your trading robot to be profitable, then you really should not be trading with it. Trying to make a complicated automated forex system that does not work is a losing proposition. Keep the forex robot simple and you will be trading a profitable automated forex trading system. - 23208
