Automated Forex Trading http://www.dailyfx.com/forex_forum/automated-trading/ In this video, DailyFX Quantitative Strategist David Rodriguez covers automated forex trading, his methods for system selection, and a way to automate strategies. The basics of forex auto trading Forex automated trading is a trading strategy that automates the placing of buy and sell orders based on an underlying system or program on the forex market. The buy or sell orders are sent out automatically to be executed in the market when a certain set of criteria is met. Autotrading systems are essentially programs to form buy and sell forex signals. Typical users are active traders who enter and exit positions more frequently than the average investor. While the automatic forex trading criteria differ greatly, they are mainly based on technical analysis. Two main types of forex autotrading • Fully automated or robotic forex trading: Similar to algorithmic or "black box" trading, where a computer algorithm determines variables such as the timing, price or quantity and initiates the order automatically. Users can only interfere by tweaking the technical parameters of the program; all other control is handed over to the program. • Signal-based forex autotrading: Based on manually executing orders generated by a trading system. A typical approach is to use a signal service where traders all over the world make their strategies available to anyone interested. Traders may choose to manually execute any of these signals in their own broker accounts.
