Forex Trading Robots - Version 5 Forex Trading RobotsForex trading robots make up one of the main types of automated trading software currently available to personal forex traders. Most of them install quickly and run as Expert Advisors on the popular MetaTrader 4 trading platform. Many of these robots are scams and even if they are not, they don't live up to the promises they make in the sales pitch. In general, stay away from this type of forex products, but if you do consider using one, be very careful and do not trust the historical performance.Other things to watch out for with forex trading robots is that their vendors often provide profitability numbers based on back-tested trading results over periods for which the robots are optimized to perform well. This means that future trading results might differ substantially, and usually do.It therefore pays to test such robots in a demo account before setting them trading on live funds.
