The Best Way To Automate Forex Trading

I have never traded a forex strategy live using any advanced automated methods. At the most, I’ve placed a limit order. Most, if not all of my experience has been with expert advisors in Metatrader.

I realize more than ever that if I could automate my strategies, this may take me to the next level of trading and keep me more involved in the market.

At this point, I need the motivation. The subject of automated trading has always interested me but my issue has always been with trusting a broker and the platform with a live account using an expert advisor. Therefore I’m calling on everyone who has experience with automated trading to share your experiences.

If you’ve used Metatrader, have you found success with any particular brokers? I know there are other automated trading software available that mostly allow trading via an FXCM API but are they any good? I know Oanda also has an API but it costs about $600/mo.

Forex Strategy

Many people think that to trade currency you need to evaluate a countries economic performance, interest rate policy, and other macro-economic and geopolitical factors. While this no doubt influences the forex market, it is no longer the base of many traders’ strategies. A new kind of trading is quickly evolving, based on mathematical analysis of prices, called indicators. If you have ever traded you are probably aware of common indicators such as RSI, MACD, Moving Averages, and Bollinger Bands. But programmers have expanded on this to create their own custom indicators, and some strategies monitor a plethora of indicators creating a super-indicator, which generates buy / sell signals. These strategies are very effective because traders can do an extensive amount of testing before trading live money on them. Finally, when live money is traded and it has a track record, the system can be easily replicated.

One popular platform, Meta Trader, allows anyone to download a demo version of their software which is 100% free. There are nearly 200 brokers in the world using this software platform, so if you find a technique which is working, you can open an account at one of these brokers and implement it with few problems. That means also that a programmer can code a strategy and use it at any of the brokers using Meta Trader platform. Strategies are compiled in files called “Expert Advisors” and can be implemented by clients without programmer or trader intervention.

Due to the lack of restrictions and cost, there is a growing international community working on strategies for trading. Of course most of these people are amateurs, but not all of them. And in this case, being an amateur can be an advantage, because you have time to dedicate to the strategy (which requires a high degree of concentration) and possibly money to invest. Also you do not have rules imposed on you by a company or a market; it is a free development environment.
