If you are setting up or just getting going with your currency trading business, you've likely come across offers for automated forex trading solutions. While no solution can totally remove the human factor completely, some of these can be effective and profitable if you know what you are getting. Here are three important things to consider as you compare these automated solutions.
Tip #1: Verify The Track Record
You should first verify the track record and previous result of any software that offers to automate your forex trading. Of course, past results cannot guarantee how well the software will work for you. That said, if you can't even verify the claims made on the program's sales literature, stay away from it. Verification can include contacting others who have used the program and asking them about their experience. Any reputable company will have some customers on file who should be glad to discuss their experiences with you. Screenshots documenting successful trading can also help, though they can be faked.
Tip #2: Make Sure Support Is Provided
No matter how automated the solution claims to be, you'll likely need some hands on help getting things up and running. You'll also want to make sure there is someone behind the product to help you should you encounter any bumps along the way. Make sure to test the company's support out ahead of time by emailing or calling with some pre-purchase questions. Of course, if there is no support email and phone number to start with, avoid the product at all costs. The speed and quality of the response you get to your pre-sales questions can be a very good indicator of the quality of support you can expect post-purchase.
Tip #3: What Is The Guarantee, If Any?
Make certain that there is a solid guarantee backing your purchase. This includes reading the fine print in the user agreement before you buy. You don't want to invest in an automated trading program that fails to deliver only to find out that there is no way to get your money back. That said, do not purchase until you are absolutely sure that the software is right for you by following the first two tips.
Bonus Tip:
Another good way to get feedback about any automated forex trading program you are considering is to read the reviews at a free forex forum and chat room such as: http://www.freeforexforums.com
