Automated Trading and Currencies
Although Automated Trading has yet to become well known and popular, it seems that before long it will become as common as mutual funds. Automated Trading systems have been developed to trade stocks, options and commodities. And, there is one market where we expect to see massive growth.
That market is the currencies market, or Forex. At this time, many people buy and sell different currencies, in an attempt to make money as the relative values fluctuate. There are even people who daytrade the currency markets. Forex is popular because it gives traders very fast executions, has tiny spreads and provides high leverage (100:1). Yet human traders are not the only ones who can benefit from these advantages.
Enter the Automated Trading system. These systems can trade a given currency pair, and monitor the relative prices in real time. They can decide to buy or sell in a tiny fraction of a second, and send their order to the Forex market to be executed with digital efficiency. Since the currency market is so liquid, it is ideally suited to Automated Trading systems.
Another advantage for these automated systems is less slippage. When buying or selling thinly traded stocks, the quoted price can be significantly different from the price actually received for the trade. This rarely happens in the Forex market. Since trillions of dollars are changing hands, the spreads are very small and slippage is minimal. This creates a special advantage for Automated Trading systems.
Automated Trading systems can be developed using Artificial Intelligence and simulated trading. Since spreads are small, the Automated Trading system can accurately simulate trades during development. In addition, when it comes time to do real trading, the results of the actual trading will more closely follow the simulation.
Automated Trading is not a silver bullet for investing, and there are risks associated with it. However, we believe that Automated Trading systems will continue to improve and help millions of people achieve financial independence. Perhaps systems that trade the currencies market will play a large role in this revolution.
