Automated Forex Strategy - How to Evaluate One

Beyond any doubt the idea of automated Forex strategy is great. You switch it on and the "magic box" trades according to the rules which are integrated into the strategy. You just sit and enjoy. Surely the life is not THAT easy.

We would like to focus your attention on the things which are crucial to know when you are making a choice about automated Forex strategy. That is why make sure you get detailed answers to these questions before you make a purchase:

• What is the package?

By the package we mean elements and services needed to make the given automated Forex strategy work. It can require some special trading platform - and this platform can be working only with a specific Forex broker. Or the rules of the strategy may need very specific conditions of the trade (like, not more than 1 pip spread, etc.)

Knowing the full package you will see hidden costs. Because if the strategy itself costs $29 per month, but you will also need to trade on it with another broker who can have its own fees - you understand that a $29/month automated Forex strategy turns into a much bigger expenses.

• Automated does not mean it needs no help from human being.

Yes, it is automated and can trade without your babysitting on it. But Forex market is a "thing" that is open to changes. It means that what used to work ok for 2 years in a row does not necessarily work fine the next couple of months. Every professional trader will prove that previous trading activity cannot be extrapolated to the future trading activity.

So, it means you need to check the pulse of your trading even when you use automated Forex strategy. Either you need to do that or hire someone to do that. Extra expenses involved, but this is for the sake of your safety.

• Demo, demo, demo.

It is very sad if the automated Forex strategy does not have any demo account where you can see (for some trial period of 14 days) how it works in real life. Witout a demo offered the chances of this strategy to be some kind of scam are very high.
