Why Over 1/3 of All Traders Are Using Currency Trading Systems

With over 30% of all traders using currency trading systems, it begs the obvious question why is this technology so popular. It begs the question why this technology is so popular all of a sudden.

Currency trading systems keep a constant 24 hour watch over the market, looking for profitable trading opportunities. Once they find something they invest accordingly, then just as importantly they follow that currency pair's performance in the market to ensure you're constantly earning money on it. Once the market falls from your favor, it recognizes this and trades the now bad investment away, starting the process once again.

As I mentioned, currency trading systems trade for you 24 hours a day without fail. This is a market which takes place over a number of spread out international markets, the importance of which means that they all have their own start and stop times which overlap with other markets at various points of the day. What this means is that the forex market is a 24 hour market during the week, and it's likely that you'll need to keep on top of a currency pair's performance for more than 8 hours a day, making the forex market more than a full time job.

I mentioned in opening that currency trading systems are like automated brokers, and that's not too far off from the truth, especially considering many traders are choosing to replace their costly full service brokers with these programs because they can be had for one time fees as opposed to regular fees and commissions which brokers charge, so it's a much more cost effective alternative.
