Can Forex Torpedo Forecast Markets?

Mar 04 2010 Published by Mark under Forex

There are masses of forex expert advisors but Forex Torpedo has attracted my attention. Why? Because it claims to beat other EAs by rather than using just past data, forecasting markets. It says it uses artificial intelligence and other knobs and bells to do that. It is fascinating, but I have some concerns. Are not other EAs truly doing the same thing? There are plenty of bots that claim to use A.I out there and to be frank, there is not any way we are able to see how it’s used by them and if they employ it in any way. Anyone can say they use AI methods and get away with itbecause it is impossible to approve it. But at the end of the day what matters are the results. Does the EA produce good profit? That’s what matters, not that it foresees market or uses past info. Having said that, I could leave it there. Judge a foreign exchange expert advisor by the results, not by its features.

Long Term Trading vs Short Term and Forex Ripper

Feb 24 2010 Published by Mark under Forex

There are two crucial terms in foreign exchange trading – short term and long-term trading. What are they and how they are different? By definition, short term trading is riskier because with this method a trader makes more trades. The key is quicker profits. On the other hand, long-term trading is more thought out, there are just a few trades per month and it is a lot accurate. There’s a load less profit potential because there are much less trades. Forex trading systems like Forex Ripper try to take advantage of the both.

Nobody says you have got to only use one plan. You can trade in both, short and long term. What that does is allow you to get fast profits in short term, but also be profit-making in the long term. It is vital, however, to balance those strategies out. Because the near term system is much riskier, you have to take that into account. You should mange the chance so that the near term losses don’t wipe out your long term profits. Consider the long run methodology as your most important technique and figure out how much you can afford to lose in short term.

The Importance of Risk Minimization – Caliber FX Pro

Feb 22 2010 Published by Mark under Forex

As a currency exchange trader you probably want to trade with a certainty that you’ll profit and you want to minimise your risk. There are plenty of methods to do that – from proper use of stop loss to correct scaling. However, one of the most underrated techniques is the diversification. Only a few traders actually diversify their portfolio through different currency pairs, and many of them just focus on a single currency pair. While focus is a good thing, diversification can help you protect your investment.

That’s the message that Caliber FX Pro carries. This software wants you as a trader to diversify your portfolio and reduce the risk that way. It really is a good methodology to follow. You can select from 3 currency pairs to include in your foreign exchange portfolio.

When trying to decrease your risk, use all tools you can. And that includes the diversification. It will enable you to spread your money across different currency pairs and protect your money that way.

The Best Forex Software?

Feb 19 2010 Published by Mark under Forex

Every forex trader is searching for the best forex software, but does it even exist? Firstly, we must outline what the best software is to answer that question. In my opinion, the leading software is not the one that makes most profit but how relieble it actually is. Making a few moneymaking trades isn’t enough if with the following trade it wastes your account.

A good strategy is what matters most. So that the best robot would trade with a solid strategy and good money and risk control. It sounds simple, but there are only a few robots that can do this. And there are plenty of that are outright losers.

So when you look out for the best forex EA, look for one that appears to have a good strategy behind it first. Then look for confirmation that it actually works. Don’t go for the next big thing, wait for it to prove itself in live trading. Look for old robots that people are still using, because if someone is still using a robot one or two years down the road, means it is worth something.

Forex Cash Evolution – The Easy Way to Test Currency Exchange Systems

Feb 13 2010 Published by Mark under Forex

Did you see this? Forex Cash Evolution

Anyone who has been around the currency market for more than 2 mins knows that you always need to test foreign exchange systems before you go live with them. Even if the system comes with guarantees, even if you got it from a top trader who makes millions with it, you have got to know that it will work for you.

So why do systems like Forex Twister work for some folks and not others? Many of us essentially find this quite difficult to believe. They imagine there’s one perfect system out there that fits everyone and could make us all into millionaires if only we knew how it’s possible to get a hold of it. But that idea is a complete fantasy.

There are many reasons why a system might suit some folks and not others. It might involve some skill like interpreting a complex mix of indicators that some folk will handle with no trouble while others cannot get their heads around it irrespective of how hard they try. It could be to do with risk : the system could involve going to a quantity of risk which would be way outside some people’s’s comfort zones, leading them to either subvert the system or make mistakes due to the level of stress.

So you should test and you can do this in more than one way. The best choice is to perform at least two types of testing which you can do at the same time.

Single Currency Brings Best Trading Results: GBPBOT

Feb 12 2010 Published by Mark under Forex

You’ve read it correctly, I said one currency, not a currency pair. Most frequently currency exchange traders target one currency pair, but they miss a lot of other trading opportunities on other pairs. There is a middle ground and it is possible to focus on one currency in various pairs. Certain Forex robot creators have made a decision to do just that and made GBPBOT. This Forex robot focuses all on the GBP and its pairs. The advantage that it gives might not be immediatelly apparent. Traders are used to trade the pairs and not single currencies, so why target one now?

The answer is found in the idea of relationship between different currency pairs. The pairs with the same currency is concerned are related and behave in a similar way. That’s to point out, if one pair is trending, others with the same currency might be moving in the same direction too. But that won’t be that clear so we use that correlation. And you can see where it’s handy for foreign exchange trading EA creation.

USDBOT

Jan 23 2010 Published by Mark under Forex

Here’s a thing of interest. I think it is:

USDBOT is a 2 in 1 expert advisor for two currency pairs – EUR/USD and USD/JPY. The system is built around a strategy of a group of veteran foreign exchange traders, which has taken them years to perfect. The robot was built using the adaptive neural network technology which takes into account common trading strategies in addition to its own…

I recommend it as it really looks promising.
