Robots – Why do they fail to deliver?
The Automated Forex Software industry had indeed become very difficult for both Users and Developers. We agree that all the hyped up product launches, amazing results and hard selling tactics makes starting automated trading a tough decision.
From your experience in trading forex so far, you must have noticed that the trading strategy and claims by the robot developers are a far cry from what may be considered as the golden rules of trading.
If you were to trade full time manually, will you use the strategy/risk:reward being used by the robot you are willing to run on your account?
Most developers just pick an indicator, tweak the settings till the EA produces great backtest results over a period of time (also called curve fitting) and package it as an automated software. They are great at marketing hype, product launches and hard selling.
There are very little or no rules that such robots follow which will enable it to survive real world trading.
The golden rules of trading need to be followed for both manual or automated trading.
It is unrealistic to expect the robot to make significantly more than what can be made by trading manually (of course by trading with good strategy, discipline and consistency)
Only a good trading strategy, strict discipline and consistency will enable any trader/robot to succeed.
One has to acknowledge the fact that there is NO “Holy Grail” out there. The sooner we realize this, the better it is for our trading account.
Backtest
Backtesting any EA for about two years should prove its worth. Backtest are just an approximation on how the EA will perform and not an exact science on proving the strategy. This is mainly due to the fact that most historical data from sources like MetaQuotes or DukasCopy are “indicative data”. That is they are the average of price bars from several different brokers.
In general, if the EA is showing fantastic results for longer periods, please be assured that the EA has been doctored to trade different strategies for different backtest durations. Unfortunately, this has become quite common in this Forex Robot industry. It is basically a marketing need for most EA developers since if they just show it never failed in the last 10 years, it is easy to sell the EA to the customer.
