Automated Forex System Trading - Feeling Comfortable

You are probably thinking now, which approach is best? Also, you may be thinking, how could I feel comfortable using either method and especially one that I seem to have no control over?   The first approach, that requires your monitoring and action, is currently the major one in the market. This automated approach evolved from the extremely difficult and manual approach of many years ago.   While there are many automated Forex systems for trading, they still require input from you. This is where a lot of training and practice is required on your part to feel comfortable trading and hopefully become profitable. Depending on the Forex system, this approach may take months to a year or more to feel comfortable trading.   These automated Forex trading systems can also be very expensive and many are not worth your time or money. It will take considerable time and effort on your part to pick one or two to evaluate and use.   The second approach evolved from the partially automated Forex system mentioned above. The system is a fully automated Forex trading system. This robot, as some call it, monitors the market, makes the trade and places the order to enter and exit.   Okay, you are probably thinking, what do I do? This is part of the point of using these systems. With the fully automated Forex system your primary input is at the beginning when you initially set up the Forex software. You determine the basic parameters that the software will trade within.    You may be thinking now, what parameters do I use? The default settings and training should be supplied by the automated Forex software producer or programmer.   Once the fully automated Forex trading software has been installed correctly it can run with minimal input from you. After a few days or a week or so of watching it trade, you should become comfortable with letting it run without your presence. This approach is being well received by experienced traders to help provide good trading profits but also provide time leverage. As a side note, you can still manually enter or exit trades if you have the desire.   In either approach, partially manual or fully automated, be certain you perform your due diligence. Get testimonials from users. Back testing or "demo" results are alright but real world live account trading results are much better. I suggest you do not buy any product that does not have at least 3 months and preferably 6 months to a year of live account testing.   You can feel comfortable using either Forex system approach. However, the partially manual approach tends to take much longer because of the training and practice necessary. The fully automated approach is much faster and offers the option of earning money while you decide to learn more about Forex trading.
