Do automatic FX trading systems really work, or are they just scams? These automated trading software machines, otherwise known as forex robots or EA'a (Expert Advisors), have attracted a lot of attention recently. Most people are very skeptical about them as the promises they make seem too good to be true, such as making money automatically while you sleep. So is it possible to really make money automatically with Forex auto trading robots? I set about looking at systems that would work with my forex trading account which is based on Meta Trader and allows EA's. Most of the ones that I checked into had huge losses in the back testing results, and so I crossed them off the list. When I was through looking at back testing results, my list of potential robots had grown very small with only a few making the cut. One thing about trading, is that it is a numbers thing, you may win 8 out of 10, but there are still going to be those two losses. This is what trips up most people who trade, as it becomes emotional to lose any money at all. The real key to accumulating wealth is to find an advantage no matter how small and press it. Forex auto trading is this way, if you can find a system that keeps adding to your position in spite of small losses, you can create some wealth. Each robot or EA system has their own unique way of trading, profit targets, risk levels and money management techniques. I prefer not to use software that try for large gains but are very risky in nature. Experience dictates that it is much harder to continue growing your money once you have suffered a huge single trade loss. Keeping your losing to a small amount is how you build wealth over time. It is much harder to overcome a large loss than several small ones. It gets back to the numbers, if you have a winning system, just keep doing it until it makes you wealthy. This can be done 10 pips a day. One thing that separates the good trading systems from the rest is if it can detect the trading spread offered at the dealer. Does the system take this into account before taking a trade, especially if your target is to get 10 pips or less. Only the best systems have this feature and the trading results speak for themselves. The systems that provide live results are the ones with the most to lose, they are putting it out for the world to see. They also are the ones that will offer your money back if it does not work for you. I have found several automatic forex trading systems that have proven they can make a profit over and over again.
