Forex MetaTrader EA Software

MetaTrader EAs or Expert Advisors are programmable trading strategies which operate within the MetaTrader trading platform. Over the recent years they have become increasingly popular, resulting in more traders choosing to use an automated forex system to trade with.

MetaTrader EA's are popular, because if you have a profitable forex strategy or system, and programme that system into an EA or Expert Advisor, then you can have the EA run 24 hours a day on your PC through your MetaTrader broker's trading platform, and you will do not have to monitor your positions on a constant basis. This is very convenient for the busy professional who does not have the time to be online checking and following after the current forex news.

There are literally thousands of different Expert Advisors to choose from. Many are freely available to download from forex forums such as the Forex Factory, whilst some MetaTrader EAs are commercially available for a fee. Be sure to thoroughly backtest a MetaTrader EA if you just download it for free from a website, as you will not know how profitable or robust it is. The same is true for a lot of commercial EAs aswell, so whatever EA you end up with, backtest it extensively before committing live funds to a trading account.

Always test them out on a free demo account. Each EA runs on different strategies ranging from one direction trading, scalping, and other interesting strategies (Martingale etc) which are based on various market interpretation of the current trend.

If you run several Metatrader EA's simultaneously, you might find that your PC is not quick enough to process all of the trades. What most forex traders will do is run their MetaTrader experts via a forex hosting service, such as Forex VPS or Forex Hoster . This gives the trader additional comfort, knowing that he does not need his laptop or PC on in order for the EA to operate, and will suffer from any power outages or internet connection problems....

Regarding MetaTrader Hosting

To be able to trade currency online, you will need a meta trading platform.

MetaTrader is one of the leading forex hosting service providers on the market today.

MetaTrader Hosting supports Metatrader on all major operating systems, including Linux, Mac and Windows, unlike some hosting companies which only provide support to Window clients. It will also give you real time support, should you encounter any problems on the server side.

MetaTrader Hosting has robust security arrangements at its facility, and provides a secure and remote access to your MetaTrader broker account.

Hosting your Forex VPS with MetaTrader Hosting gives you real time access to your individual trading account. It enables you the ability to view, manage and trade in real time through your broker. It is also possible to host several MetaTrader Expert Advisors without having to worry about your laptop crashing, power outages, or a failed internet connection.

As an additional benefit, MetaTrader Hosting will not only allow you to monitor your trade on your PC, laptop, Mac or Linux operating system, but you can also monitor your trading account remotely, and on the move with your iPhone.

MetaTrader Hosting was originally created for simple and easy management of your MT4 Expert Advisors and custom indicators and scripts, and has grown to become one of the most popular and robust trading platforms on the market. And with MetaTrader Hosting, it takes less time to install an Expert Advisor on MetaTrader, than it is when MT is running on your own desktop.

Expert Advisors In General

The best expert advisers can help you to make a lot of money with forex trading, while in contrast, a bad EA can simply drain you out on your cash.

So how do you tell them apart ?

Online EA reviews can be a mixed blessing when it comes to something as important as an expert advisor. In case you do not know, an EA is an automated currency trading system that runs on the popular platform known as Metatrader 4. Basically, you hook up the robot to your broker's software platform, set it to trade on auto for you at the position size etc that you want, and go enjoy your day.

The problem of course comes if things go against you and it starts to lose your money instead of making it. This is always a danger with forex systems and even more when they are trading on autopilot so you may not be aware of what is happening. Hence, it is extremely important to run the EA on a demo account first until you have absolutely everything clear or at least grasp the basic understanding of how forex market moves vis-a-vis fundamental news and technical charting.

Reviews can certainly help you to narrow down your search when you are looking for a forex robot that will save you tons of time analyzing the market and placing your trades. However, there are two possible problems with reviews. One is that some reviews that you will find online are simply copied from the sales page for the EA itself and the person might not have used the robot at all. In this case you will usually see a very positive review with no indication of the possible downside.

On the flip side, a review from somebody who has actually used the software themselves can be very valuable because it will often give you hints and tips about how to get the most from it.

The other thing that you may come across is a strongly negative review from somebody who could not make the EA work for them. There may be all kinds of reasons for this which are not the fault of the EA itself. Often, either the person could not figure out how to set it up and became frustrated with it, or they set their risk too high. A common recommendation for risk is 2% per trade. The laws of statistics mean that setting your risk too high will always lead to a busted bank sooner or later, but people who do not realize this will often blame the system that they were using. This can lead to some very vitriolic comments and forum posts and of course it is never recognized that it is the fault of the trader. It must be the system's fault !

What you should be looking for when you search through reviews for the best expert advisors is a general consensus, a balance of views.

Rather than simply going by a star system or whether the person liked the EA, check for specific points such as these :

- Is it suitable for somebody at your level? Is it aimed at beginners or experienced traders? Do you need to be taking a certain position size or using a particular broker to use this system?

- Is it easy to set up, and how much does that matter to you?

- Does it suit your trading style in terms of the amount of risk (stop loss settings for instance) and number of trades?

You may need to read between the lines a little bit to work out some of these points. For example, most EAs will claim to work for people at all levels, but a system that only makes a couple of trades a week is not going to make you much money on a micro trading account unless you take huge risks, so that's why the number of trades can be important. However, many people who buy a new forex robot are also trading using other methods and then it does not matter so much if a robot only trades a couple of times a week.

So do check out reviews when you are looking for the best expert advisors, but follow your own agenda when it comes to how seriously you take them.
