If you are looking to make some decent money in a relatively short period of time or are looking long term, you may want to consider checking out the Forex, or Foreign Exchange market (Fx). The Forex trading market is, in terms of volume, the largest financial institution on this planet!   We’re talking almost $3 trillion a day! The name is what it suggests: The buying and selling (trading) of currencies between two different country’s denominations in hopes to make a profit via arbitrage.   The Forex players include: Large banks, banks, governments, and also individual investors.

Although the Foreign Exchange market produces a large amount of profit, it can also be quite risky. Due to ever-changing economic conditions, the market can be volatile. Because of this fact, the market also produces investment miscalculations, missed opportunities, and losses.  Listen, the market is open, technically, 24 hours a day because of the different time zones. When one market closes, another opens. No one can stay up and follow the markets 24 hours a day/5 days a week–Unless you are a machine. Which leads to my segue: Enter automated Forex trading software.

If you have a good automated Fx program, you don’t have to worry about losing out on potential profit at 3 in the morning . Furthermore, unlike the stock market, you don’t have to wait for a personal broker to question or execute each trade over the phone. Some investors have their own systems that work– some of the time– but these systems cannot be used when they are sleeping. This is the beauty of automation. The word that best describes what these programs do would be ‘autopilot.’ There are so many advantages to using Forex autopilot programs over conventional methods.

Beyond having Forex trading systems on autopilot, there are even more features that make automated programs so beneficial to traders.  Automated Forex programs don’t have feelings. Sounds crazy, but trade executions will never be based on ‘gut feelings.’ When you take out emotion, trepidation, and greed, chances are, profits will be bigger and losses, less. Furthermore, in my own opinion, stress is minimal because you can set your own limits and parameters.

Automated Forex trading programs allow you to create a system that works for you in terms of investment, risk, and style. Suppose you are looking for short term profits, you can set different rules in the software to help you achieve this. As you become more comfortable with your program, you will find that you can almost pinpoint how much and how often you will make money each week .  Believe it or not, many institutions and large investors actually use Forex trading software to make their millions. As with any investment, seek advice from a mentor or professional to help setup your system with your goals in mind. You can find a lot of information on the internet in Forex forums.

Let’s talk a little about convenience, also. These Forex software programs have actually allowed people to quit day jobs or majorly supplement their existing incomes. I’m not going to sit here and tell you that each and every software program out there will make you money…this is definitely not the case. However, if you find a good program, the features inside are not just limited to placing trades.   Most Forex trading programs offer various other tools such as charts, price histories, real-time quotes, news sources, and other information that may help an investor make the best use of the software.

Whether you are a veteran trader or beginner, you can find a program that works for you.  Forex trading software is available in either web based or in a packaged software program. Junior Fx Trading Jobs

Forex Trading Software on Your Computer

Trading programs are great as you have total control. However, there are some drawbacks. As with any program on your home computer, the vulnerability issue rears its ugly head.   Viruses, hard-drive crashes, spyware and the like can plague your home software and could potentially cause havoc at crucial trading periods. Obviously, security is a huge factor in deciding which program to choose. Although this may sound like a deterrent to packaged software, there are ways to make your program as safe as possible. Since your program will be accessing the internet for information, be sure the program includes a 128 bit SSL connection . This will prevent hackers from accessing any personal information. Make sure that your software company provides 24 hour support and backups of all your information.

If the company provides security on their end, you can also strengthen the security by making your own back-ups, password protecting any data, and use an antivirus program that will further protect your program and data. Another thing you can do, personally, to protect yourself is to purchase a computer that is dedicated to trading only (if you have additional funds). Although, this is not always feasible, this can definitely help.

Online Forex Trading Software

On the other side of the coin there is web based trading software, typically hosted and maintained by the owners/creators of the Forex trading software. Fx online trading programs are hosted on secure servers which offer data encrypted protection.   These online programs also offer account backups in case of outages.

Convenience is a huge benefit to using an online Forex trading program. Basically, you can access your account, your tools, your history, etc. from any computer that has an internet connection. So, if you’re sipping on some margaritas on the beach, have your laptop handy, and have some sort of internet connection–you can access your account information and/or make a trade.

Finding The Best Forex Trading Software

Regardless of which type of software you use for Forex trading, be sure to also check each company’s downtime.  When you have your own personal investment at stake, you want to be sure that your money and transactions are accessible at all trading times. Most reliable companies may perform maintenance on Saturdays or Sundays when the Forex market is closed. This is ok! However, if your company faces downtime during the week, you may need to seek other programs. Furthermore, as I discussed earlier, make sure that you can get in touch with a support person any time of the day.

Finding the best forex software that fits your needs and goals can be quite a task. My email box becomes inundated with so many ads for trading programs each and every week. Unfortunately, most of these programs are junk.   I can’t stress enough the importance of researching these programs. I could use the analogy of finding a family doctor: Do your research, ask questions, ask for referrals, and seek credentials–it’s your money at risk!

Regardless of the software you choose, most, if not all, offer a Forex demo account.  When you have a demo or dummy account, you have nothing to lose (except the purchase of the software).   Having a demo account will allow you to place mock trades without putting in a dime.  I would suggest using this part of the software for a week or two (if not longer) so you can become familiar with the software and learn how to track and analyze your progress.  These accounts also help you find your trading style and limits.  They can also let you know if you are ready for the real thing!
