Testing Forex Trading Robots For Seek And Scalp Profits

By John Eather

It is a simple task to work out what millions of foreign exchange traders are doing en masse during certain hours of the day. So there is not a great deal of challenge to forex day trading. This is where forex trading robots come into play. They are programmed to regularly seek and scalp small profits. This is able to build up a large income over time, with very little risk.

The trading systems, goals and aims used by different traders are to a degree very predictable. Day trading can be a challenge because of the fact that it is so predictable. However there are factors such as support and resistance levels and volatility in short time frames which come into play. Because of these if a robot does not perform, it could mean losses for the trader.

There are a large variety of day trading robots available for purchase, and day trading can be good in terms of small regular profits. However, these robots come with simulated back tested track records and the only way to know how they really perform is by testing them in real time with real information. Doing this is called a "forward test" rather than a "back test". If you see what I mean!

You have to look out for certain factors when testing a forex robot, it has to be able to provide consistent, steady trades (more winning than losing). Sound money management which is vital in any foreign exchange trading. So it has to protect the equity in the account and there should also be no large draw-downs on the margin account.

Ideally forex trading robots should be tested while the market conditions are exactly the same, or at least similar. The capital deposit in the margin account must be the same and more than one product should be compared during these conditions. Some traders believe you should stay away from day trading, while others believe it. - 23212
