Youre looking at your charts. Youre generally satisfied with your profits. You made some good decisions during your work hours a couple of good trades here and there. Not bad, you think to yourself. Then you look at his chart: a nice smooth equity curve going up. Hes been trading all day, you tell yourself. Maybe I just need to increase my hours, you think. However, you cant keep up. Hes been trading all day yesterday also and the day before. Youve been focusing mostly on USD, EUR and GBP. Hes been trading ten different currencies. It might sound funny to some to say that a he is a robot but he is a robot. Dont picture terminator. Were talking about a computer program. Automated forex robots are computer programs that constantly monitor the market and constantly trade. Even the most experienced of traders has to admit to the obvious advantages that come with the automation of certain forex tasks.

The biggest advantage, at least in the eyes of the author of this article, is constant operation and constant monitoring. While a trader is sleeping and missing opportunities, the forex robot is there, watching every market, and making the trade at the crucial moment. The ebb and flow of the world markets is constant. There will always be ups and downs for every currency, and the trick is timing. For all the timing skill a trader may have, it wont help if he or she is asleep dreaming about the trade. Great trading opportunities take place all throughout the day, and they dont take into consideration if you got tired and went to sleep. Automated forex robots constantly monitor the markets scouring every chart for the perfect moment to make the trade.

Diversification of investments in the forex market means multicurrency trading. While a trader whos done his homework might succeed in getting a good foothold with two or three currency pairs, nothing can compare to the spread facilitated by a forex robot. There is virtually no limit to the number of currencies a forex robot can track and trade. The multicurrency diversification translates to a stable rise in the traders equity curve and compression of drawdown. Economic decline in a given geopolitical region can mean devaluation of local currencies; therefore the trading of additional currencies in politically detached regions can ensure protection from general reduction of the accounts value. The multicurrency trading provided by a forex robot is a much safer bet than a trader backing up his investments in unfamiliar markets.

Even the best of traders sometimes fall prey to emotion. The psychological element in trading can turn out to be detrimental. Every trader remembers that time when their feelings got the best of them and they bought high, or alternatively sold low. If we go back to our terminator image robots dont have feelings. Youll never have to worry about a program freaking out about some unexpected devaluation and selling at the wrong time. For some traders, the whole concept of automated forex robots was designed to remove the emotional element.

At the end of the day, though, a robot is just a robot. What stands behind a robots success is a good trader both programming a good general trade strategy and monitoring the robots progress. The teamwork of a good experienced trader coupled with an automated forex robot is the future of forex trading.
