Finding the perfect online Forex Trading Strategy
Trading Forex Online
When it comes to trading foreign exchange (Forex) online what most people do is go to FXCM or another one of the major forex trading houses, and they open an account and then proceed to loose money because of errors in analysis, or trading the wrong direction, not putting in stop losses, or simply just guessing on a potential outcome. If you are wanting to loose money this is a good way to do it. Others will study and analyse and let the markets consume their lives as they try to out smart the markets at the detriment of the rest of their lives and quiet often their account balance.
Forex is the largest market in the world with an approximate daily trading volume of $3.98 Trillion Dollars (US). Unlike stock markets which have a daily open and close the forex market is open 24 hours a day over the 5 business days each week making it the most accessible market as well.
What do the professionals do?
Professional brokerage houses and hedge funds each have hundreds of people working around the clock and around the world watching for the markets for trends and opportunities to make the best use of their trading dollars. These same people have also developed systems and strategies that they execute automatically when market conditions meet a set of pre-defined criteria that they have seen overtime yields consistent results. It is these systems that allow the hedge funds and professional brokers to generate consistent profits year in and year out.
What should you do?
If you do want to enter into the Forex markets (as they are a fantastic way to make money) you need to access the same tools that the Hedge Funds and Brokers are using to make money. The problem is that the internet is full of Robot Trading systems and automated trading software that the developers and marketers claim will make you hundreds of dollars a day. The issue is how do you trust the results that you see on their site, and why does it cost in some cases many thousands of dollars just for the software. The developers and marketers will sell you on the idea that the software pays for itself with all of the profit that you are going to make but in actual fact they don’t care. They only make money from you buying their product not from you making money. Their is no incentive for them to make you any money at all.
So the question is still what should you do? There is a FREE website that I found that will actually audit these robots for you. It will allow you to take a look at their live results and compare them to one another to allow you to decide which one works. The site requires the proprietors of these systems to send them their “BUY” and “SELL” alerts in real time and they place the trades and track the results all for free. Once you are satisfied that one or many of the systems are able to make money you can simply open a trading account with FXCM directly through the site and have them trade these systems for you. By doing this you are still operating in this third party platform and not tied into any one system. In fact like the Hedge Funds you will be able to trade on multiple strategies in the same account.
