Often, when we come to consider investing money in a forex trading tool, we pay more attention to the promises of the people who are selling it instead of taking a look at the one thing that really matters: the results it delivers. This is true for any tool and it’s true for Forex Tracer as well. If you’ve just heard of this software, allow me to fill you in: Forex tracer is an automatic trading program which does the actual trading for you, freeing you from the tedious task of monitoring the market and seeking transactions opportunities yourself.
What do the Forex Tracer testing results show?
It seems that the Forextracer produces impressive results as the testing shows that it has produced profits ranging from $1300 on a position held for 2-3 days to over $15,000 in a little over a week. And it isn’t doing well just for the creators of this program, as they have a natural inclination to display their positive results and not the places in which they may have lost. It also produces results for regular users. I’ve read reviews of people seeing their account swell by a hundreds of dollars in just days of using Forextracer. Of course, it might have been thousands, as the profit depends on the initial trade amount.
One word of caution for you when you do your own ForexTracer testing experiments: Test the software on a demo account before using it on a live account. Why am I making this recommendation? You need to be sure that the Forex Tracer program meshes perfectly with your trading platform and that you know how to use it, and use it well. Remember, it is better to give a few weeks of testing before jumping right into any new tool or program.

Forex Tracer and FAPS (Forex Autopilot System) are two leading automated Forex robots in the industry. Both of these systems can trade on autopilot allowing currency traders to maximize their profit potential. Forex Tracer and FAPS both have proven results with real money in a live Forex market.
As a currency trader I have tested several automated systems as they enable me to maximize my returns. When I tested the Forex Tracer, I found that it was extremely efficient in Forex trading on autopilot. The system was also very simple to use and configure. In my first week I tested the system using the demo trading account to see if it could achieve what it claimed. Sure enough, the automated trading proved to be profitable. I put the live test the following week and was able to make a little over $5,000 on complete autopilot.
The beauty of the Forex Tracer is that it trades for you while you are asleep. The autopilot system is based primarily on programmed mathematical calculations and the generated Forex signals. It scans the Forex market depending on the set criteria and thus able to make profitable trades. The Forex Tracer proved to be an impressive system.
The Forex Autopilot System did not provide great results compared to the Forex Tracer. While using the demo account I used the same currency pairs and trading conditions as the Tracer. Although the system utilizes a strong algorithm, it did not provide great results. I found FAPS to be not as responsive to the market, as it took the system quit a while before making the first trade. This can be a drawback for a highly volatile market. The other drawback of this system is that FAPS does not have a default stop-loss action. This can significantly affect performance for an autopilot system since this can be crucial when there is change in trading strategy.
Forex Tracer and FAPS are both well developed systems; however, the Forex Tracer definitely outperforms FAPS. The Forex Tracer proved to be a profitable system that offered flexibility. On the other hand, the Forex Autopilot System was a little irresponsive to the market and lacked flexibility.

When entering the foreign currency exchange market known as Forex, an investor should have a plan. Forex is the oldest, safest and most lucrative investment market in the world.
The Forex Investor is in control of his portfolio at all times. There are few fees in Forex Trading and there is no threat of insider trading.
In order to be successful in Forex Trading, an investor will begin by educating himself on the many variables that are inherent to Forex. He should enroll in a reputable course in Forex online and familiarize himself with the currency market by setting up a demo account on one of the many online sites. A demo account does not require any capital, but it does train an investor in how to approach Forex trading.
A Forex investor must learn to maximize his profits and minimize his losses. He can do that by learning to analyze corporate and governmental press releases and economic forecasts. An investor must seek out and incorporate sound investment strategies and learn how to read charts and graphs pertaining to the currency trade.
Forex trading has the highest volatility in the investment market, and it is tempting to just jump into the trading and make decisions based on the spikes and dips in currency values, but a successful Forex trader knows that he must never buy or sell using his emotions as leverage. He never trades out of fear or greed.
To be successful in Forex, a trader should stick to a strategic plan that adheres to what was successful in past trading and what makes sense according to reputable strategists.

Forex Bling has quickly become one of the top trading systems publicly available… I would say that’s mainly due to its unique trading approach. Your traditional trading system works with one strategy, one method of trading… that’s where Forex Bling is different: it offers FOUR.
The four offered are trend following, breakout trading, scalping and grid trading. The concept of Forex Bling promotes the idea of minimizing risk and maximizing profit by diversifying on multiple levels… all of which is automatically done with the technology of Forex Bling. That sounds super ninja technical but it’s actually really simple…
The first level of diversification is the trading strategy and the second level is the fact that you can use it on multiple currency pairs. This kind of diversification opens up lots of possibilities…
Say you have like $1,000 to openly trade… since Forex Bling can work four different trading strategies you could diversify by splitting the $1,000 in four different ways: $250 gets traded with the trend following strategy, $250 gets traded with the breakout trading strategy, $250 gets traded with scalping and $250 gets traded with grid trading…
… that’s just diversification done with the trading strategies. Apply that same concept across multiple currency pairs and you’re in serious business.
The beauty of Forex Bling is that you don’t HAVE to use all four though… you can use one or as many as you want… since no single strategy can remain profitable in ALL market conditions, you’re already at an advantage…
If you’re a little freaked out by trying it, they 60 day money back guarantee. So grab a copy and try it out on a demo account. Demo accounts are free to use and since it’s trading “fake money” in real world conditions you can see for your own eyes how the trading system performs (and in realtime) without risking any real cash…
After 30 days or even 59 days, evaluate the results… not living up to your expectations? Definitely get a refund! There are instructions on how to contact tech support in the email/receipt you get after buying… just contact them and within a few days you’ll get all your cash back.
If, on the other hand, Forex Bling is bringing in some nice profit… well, just open a live account and start makin’ bank! According to the live statement on their website, it has had 27 consecutive profitable trades…

For those of you not familiar with The Forex Autopilot System, this is a forex trading software with the ability to analyze the market trends and place trade orders all on its own.
This software is usually categorized as an expert advisor, since this software not only renders advise but instead runs the trading operation, I like to think of it more like a virtual trader rather than an expert advisor. Anyway, these are technicalities which are not really that important, as long as you get an idea of what the Forex Autopilot System is about.
Now, the idea of these few lines is to share with you a personal experience using the software, so whether you already have it or you are about to get it, I invite you to try a couple of new setting I have been using to trade with it, which has delivered better results for me.
Here the story, and why I am making this suggestion:
When I first downloaded the Forex Autopilot System, I did what anyone else would do, I opened a demo account and I started testing the software. At that time, just by chance I decided to fund the demo account with $3,000 of paper money and put the system to work.
When configuring the system, I carefully followed the instructions in order to set it up correctly. Among the parameters you are asked to set are the lot size and the maximum number of orders.
These two parameters limit, on one hand, the value per pip of your trades (for example: if you set the lot size to 0.1, then each point of variation -pip- in the market will translate into 1 dollar of profit or loss) and number of trade orders that you will allow the software to place simultaneously.
These settings are important because you must trade paying attention to the size of your account, and therefore, the margin you have to manage your trades safely. This is probably the single most important factor to consider when trading within the forex market.
The creators of the software advise you to use a 0.1 lot size ($1 per pip) and a maximum of 1 trade order at a time, as this is deemed by them as the safest approach. However, in my opinion, those setting will not always be the safest approach, as that will depend of the amount of money you are investing.
Anyway, at that point those were the settings I started using in my paper money account, but after a few days using the system with great results, I realized that at $1 per pip and using a $3,000 margin, I could take almost 3,000 points of variation before having my trade closed due to stop out, so this meant that I had a very comfortable margin.
I then figured, why not set the Forex Autopilot System to open a maximum of 3 trade orders at a time, as this will still allow for a safe margin -$1,000 per trade-, and then see what happens?
I thought this would be a good idea because I had seen that the software rarely needed more than a $200-$300 margin before closing a trades for a profit, so with a 1,000 points of variation margin per trade and 3 trades at a time, I would be able to pull more profits while still playing it safe.
The result: simply astonishing, because when I first started at 1 trade at a time the Forex Autopilot was placing 1-3 winning trades per days depending on the market conditions, so you can imagine, with the limit of trade orders set to 3, it began to place 3-9 trade orders daily, which in turn grew my paper money from $3,000 to $6,154 in just over two weeks. And again, the software rarely used more than a $200-$300 margin in order to close each trade for a profit.
So, when I switched to real money, I followed the same pattern, that is, I set the Forex Autopilot System to trade a maximum of 3 orders at a time, but -and this is important- since I did not start with $3,000 but with $500, I changed the lot size from 0.1 ($1 per pip) to 0.01 (10 cents per pip). That way I was giving the software a over a 1,000 point of variation margin to place each trade order safely, allowing my account to grow proportionally without the risk of blowing it due to a lack of margin.
This approach accelerated my performance while keeping me away from loss. Therefore, I would advise anyone to tweak a little bit these settings, taking into consideration the amount of money you are investing, so if you are starting small, maybe with $300, set the lot size at 0.01, and no more that 3 trades at a time; if you are starting with $1,500, then you could set the lot size to 0.05 and no more than 3 trades at a time.
Using a small lot size with a higher number of trades at a time, is also a good way to split your risk and increase the chances of growing your account, because the Forex Autopilot may get it wrong at times, and if you have it set to place only 1 trade order then you could spend days waiting for it to close it while you are probably losing opportunities for good trades, whereas if you allow the system to place several orders at a time -always with a safe margin-, maybe it will place a bad trade that will get stuck for a day or longer, but in the meantime the Forex Autopilot will remain placing winning trades and growing your account while you wait for the that bad trade to be closed.
Check this strategy on your demo account first and see for yourself how it can help the little robot perform better while keeping your money safer.
