Instead, there is a combined piece of execution software and a FOREX trading platform which will automatically analyze and execute trading decisions for you. The FOREX trading robot essentially takes a lot of the work out of designing and implementing trading strategy. The robot usually works on the basis of an algorithm, An algorithm is the equivalent of a mathematical decision making tree, that is to say, based on price movements, the algorithm will essentially choose the optimum point at which it believes a trading position should be entered into and exited from.

However, there re a number of things to bear in mind when deciding whether to purchase and install such a piece of software.
