First of all Bob needs to get his facts straight. Forex is NOT a futures market. Because it’s highly leveraged like futures doesn’t mean it’s futures. Forex is the currency markets, where you trade a currency pair like the EUR/USD or USD/JPY.
Is it risky? Yes. But so is driving. How many people get killed on American Highways everyday? Does that mean you should not drive? If you drive safely, defensively, and watch your speed, etc., then you greatly increase the chances of getting to your destination safely. Same thing with trading.
It kills me when these people make general comments like that. Everything has an element of risk to it, but it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it.
And FX used to be for the big boys only. Prior to the early 90’s if you wanted to trade FX, you needed a net worth of at least $10 million and an account minimum of $1 million. But, today you can open an account with as little as $100. Other things like stocks, options, futures, etc. You need to have at least $5,000 to open an account.
Now to answer your question an Expert Advisor is basically an automated trading robot. It’s just a system that’s automated and will trade your account for you.
Hope this helps.

Forex info & forecast! help!?
I started trading forecast about 2-3 weeks ago.
I have been doing good so far, I picked up on it naturally & have made about +300 pips.
I have been scalping/day trading for the most part, staring at the screen & making those decisions.
My question{s} is this:
I want to learn how to use all the tools/graphs, any recommended courses/sites/etc?
& I have picked up on playing off of forecast, what are some recommended forecast sites/people?
& What are the best sites/news for latest updates & forex news, etc.?
Thanks

Anyone have any tips or tricks for playing well on the Forex?
It’s actually hilarious, that I analyse the charts, read the commentary and follow the news, yet EVERY time I open a position, the currencies go the other way. Any tips?
kenspong answers:
Learn stochastic calculus and maths modelization first. It’s your only way to making consistent profit on the FX. Charts are a great way to “learn” except they have no PREDICTIVE value whatsoever… Sounds familiar? 😉

Is the best way to trade currencies by following the news of a countries economic data?
I’m trying to learn all I can about forex trading and need to ask if this question is one of the keys to success in the FX trading markets?
kenspong answers:
First, learn how to be a trader, then you can trade anything and might still want to tackle the forex.
I’m a Petroleum Engineer, and know all about oil and how it’s produced and refined, and I know when all of the gov’t reports are going to come out and what the effect of supply and demand are, but 4 years of learning about oil or gas or gold or a currency or country isn’t going to help you in trading it.
Develop a trading plan, then test your plan on a forex simulator before you try to trade with real money.

Once you see how the currencies gyrate after a surprise in a GDP report or surprise hike in interest rates, you’ll see that you could end up owing them your house if you’re in at the wrong time. Generally, we try to trade 5-15 min after the release of the reports, if then.
