Forex Expert Advisors - All Have Poor Money Management Which Leads to a Losses

by Sonia Kristina

The Choice of most novice investors when they start trading is a so called Forex Expert Advisor but instead of making a great income with no effort as the sale copy claims, they see there equity wiped out and the reason is simple and enclosed in this article.

The claims make by these systems is you are going to get a track record of gains which would make the true trading greats like Warren buffet, look average and all you pay is a couple of hundred dollars or less - it seems to good to true and it is.

These systems never present a track record of gains which have been verified by an independent source; you just get figures from the vendor or a meaningless, back tests across back data, knowing the closing prices ( not exactly hard!) and that doesn't inspire confidence.

The fact is when you look behind the clever copy, catchy names and look at the systems trading algorithim, you see systems which have been made to fit past data in simulations and money management suffers as result. The systems soon get taught some respect by the markets and the trader, who was naïve to believe he would get the track record of a super trader, for a few hundred dollars ends up with a loss.

It's a nice fantasy, doubling your money each month, while your robot works for you, as you have a beer, sleep or take the dog for a walk - but if Forex trading was a simple as these systems would lead you to believe, 95% of Forex traders wouldn't lose money.

If you want to make money in any business in life, you need to do the basics and learn skills and Forex trading is the same but if you do make the effort and you have a desire to succeed, you can make a lot of money. So get yourself a decent Forex education and do your homework, you will be well rewarded for your efforts.
