The efficiency of trading on the Forex market depends on many factors. For example, some traders achieve great success in currency trading thanks to the so-called trading advisors, which are in fact automatic trading systems.

What is a forex advisor? And what is the efficiency of using automated systems for trading currencies?

To begin with, the trading advisor is a computer program that works with a trading terminal according to a certain algorithm. Most of the advisers currently have the mq4 extension, as well as the ex4 extension. Such trading advisors work quite well with modern trading terminals, which leading Forex companies provide to traders.

Programs with the mq4 extension have open source, which makes it possible to change the algorithms of the advisor, based on the strategy of a single trader. As for the ex4 advisors, they do not provide ample opportunities for code correction, which means that they do not allow adjusting the action algorithms with the terminal in large ranges.

A forex expert advisor can be fully automatic, it can itself perform technical analysis, and it can stop or open a trading order. If such an adviser works as it should, then the trader will be spared from having to be at the computer or other devices throughout the day. Also, such a trading advisor will not let the trader lose sight of the important events occurring in the foreign exchange market.

A semi-automated forex advisor is an auxiliary trading tool, its functionality and capabilities are limited. Such programs are able to perform for a trader only a part of the work, but the most important steps, in any case, will be done by a person.

How to choose an automated trading system?

1. You need to initially look for an advisor with a trading direction that suits your trading strategy. It is important that the adviser be able to handle multiple currency pairs.

2. The performance of the trading platform is of great importance. The performance depends on how well the adviser is suitable for your plans and the size of your deposit. The same advisor may work well for one trader but interfere with pursuing the tasks set by another.

Forex advisor is an important trading tool that allows you to automate the work with the terminal, save your time and increase your profits.
