The Next Generation Of Automated Forex Systems

If you are serious about trading currencies, I have no doubts that you are among those who are looking for the "Holy Grail" of the forex trading systems. And, of course, you'd love to have an automated forex system that actually works, because very often they are disappointing.

Thanks to the Internet and the changes to the trading laws in most of the countries, any person can get involved in forex and participate in that enormous market. All that is necessary to do that is having an Internet connection and an account with a forex broker (loaded with some trading capital; at least $2K is recommended, but some brokers allow to trade with much less).

Neither stock or futures trading have it, but forex trading has the "built-in" protection against losing the trading capital (no debt balances are allowed), but it's never pleasant to see your money being depleted. So as soon as you experience a series of losing trades, you start looking for that "Holy Grail" - a trading system that will help you not only protect your trading capital, but will also save you stress, time and energy. And the best one would be something that would do trading for you - 24/7, therefore something that would be making you money even when you sleep.

Not every forex trading system does all of that; but probably the most important benefit of using an automated forex system is that it can trade 24/7 and can do that without any emotions. That's something that no human can do!

So what to look for in an automated forex trading system? I recommend that you seek a next-generation automated forex system. Look for trading software that uses not only Fibonacci tools and the commonly known indicators, such as: MACD, RSI, stochastics, oscillators, Bollinger bands, etc. Systems that use only them are obsolete. You should be using an automated forex system that applies not only mathematical algorithms, but also principles from a variety of progressive scientific theories, such as: Quantum Mechanics, Chaos Theory, Fractal Geometry and Wavelet Theory.

Look for a system that uses synergistic combination of those sciences to determine the direction in which the market is going and to provide you with the signals that will give you short- and long-term profits. With a top-class automated forex system, you should be able to profit from both short-term and long-term currency moves - at any time (24/7) and with any currency pair. It should be flexible enough to adapt to your unique trading style and to unique characteristics of trading, as they are different for each currency pair, for various time frames. It should be able to assist you in various types of forex trading, such as position trading, intra-day swing trading, trading the news, etc. And it should help you properly manage your trading capital - important role, which often decides if a trader enjoys making profit in long run, or not.

Your perfect automated forex system should deliver objective means of filtering out questionable signals and it should accurately identify areas of major and intermediate support and resistance. It should be able to help you set and achieve realistic profit targets for maximum gain, with low risk of loss - it should be able to determine proper stop loss placements and to tell you how to exit the trade if your profit target is not hit.

Those technical aspects of the perfect system are very important as is the ability to deal with the money management, but a perfect, completely automated trading system should also be able to eliminate trader's emotions from the trading. Well, computers don't think, so it should be easy, isn't it? When making a final decision about getting your next forex trading system, ask this question - after the initial set-up, will the system require anything more from me than making sure that my computer is on? With the best systems, after you decide what pairs to trade, in what time frames and what your profit/loss settings are, all you have to do is just ensuring that your Internet is working.
