Grid Trading System Preview

Posted on Sunday, May 24, 2009 in Expert Advisors, Forex GridBot

Trading currency exchange is one method to beat the recession, but you have to grasp some critical facts or you might lose more than you make. Though there are fortunes to be made, not everyone is a winner. Over Christmas I heard of a family acquaintance who for a period of time had been trading for fun and profit. Putting away a clean sum on a constant basis. However that changed suddenly due to the upheaval in the Forex markets. He not only lost his shirt but his house and the family farm too! Incredibly he is sort of philosophical about it is handling it all extraordinarily well considering.

Of course this should never have happened, especially to somebody as experienced as he was. So what truly went wrong? Quite simply he became greedy, trading by the no longer trading by a system. He wasn’t running stop losses and when he had a chain of losses he just poured more money to try and win back what he lost. In brief, he was no longer trading he was betting, he let his emotions take over and he lost his edge. He was no longer trading by a winning system but more like a craps player who just doubles the stakes on every loss. This is exactly the way not to trade Forex.

This is only 1 of the numerous areas where a Forex Robot has an edge As they trade by a system and they don’t get emotional. A good robot can recognise and conform to any market condition and trade reasonably. It can pick the best time to open and exit a trade, setup a stop loss to attenuate risk and even recognise when not to trade. It is during times of high volatility that large profits are accumulated by the best traders. However there’s little margin for error when you’re trading the forex markets. Having the right tools and trading system for the conditions is what differentiates the winners from the losers. The two important tools for day traders, are Expert Advisors Forex Robots and Signal Generators. Sometimes called push button trading, a signal generator tells you when to buy or sell. They do not trade for you. This is fine in a reasonably stable market where price changes are less and more likely to be following a trend. However in a volatile market, fast response time can make the difference between many winning trades or a loss. This is where automated trading comes in. Often referred to as foreign exchange trading robots, these are sophisticated PC programs that can make trades for you. You just need to setup your trading preferences and let it trade for you on autopilot.

Forex Grid Bot is an one of the most recent currency trading robots to be released for the Metatrader4 trading platform. Until not long ago, Expert Advisors ( EA ) were available only to corporate traders, large financial institutions and banks. Till the previous couple of years, EAs were well out of reach for any one but the most dedicated professional traders.

When I first read about the Forex Grid Bot what surprised me the most was its cost. How could something that claims to supply so much profit, sell for so little? Software as robust as this regularly costs thousands of dollars. Can an Expert Advisor in this price range truly trade profitably, completely on autopilot? Well I had my doubts, it just did not appear to be possible.

Here is what is claimed by the designers of Forex Grid Bot.

Those are pretty some pretty wild claims right?! I mean if FX GridBot is even capable of half of what they claim, then that would be incredible!.
