How technology is helping forex traders make more profit

TigerWit

So you want to get started trading forex? Here is what forex trading is in its simplest form: you, a trader, anticipates changes in the exchange values of different currency pairs, with the expectation that the value of the currency you purchased will increase against the currency used to purchase—in other words, getting more for less.

Even though forex trading has been around arguably since Babylonian times, modern forex trading began in the early 1970s when the U.S. allowed its currency to float freely in the forex market.

Over the years, forex trading has developed alongside advancements in technology seeing a more prevalent use of automated systems to initiate and exit trades. Needless to say, the integration of technology into forex trading has important advantages, including:

Minimizing Emotions: automating your trading helps you pull the trigger when you need to. This is especially useful if you tend to overtrade — buying and selling at every perceived opportunity.

Preserving Discipline: automated trading ensures discipline is maintained because the trading plan will be followed exactly. In addition, “pilot error” is minimized. For instance, an order to buy 100 shares will not be incorrectly entered as an order to sell 1,000 shares.

Diversified Portfolio: automated trading systems permit the user to trade multiple accounts or various strategies at the same time helping the trader easily diversify their portfolio. This helps spread risk over various instruments.

Interestingly, we are already at the next level of advancement point in the use of technology to trade Forex. One of the disadvantages of electronic forex trading is the risk of tampering with your trades.
