As the title suggests there are a number of things you need to understand before you start throwing your cash around. And one of them isn't using a 'robot' to tell you when to buy or sell.
Fact: Traders who use robots to make their trading decisions have absolutely no idea why the forex currencies go up and down. If they did, they wouldn't use them!
The major currencies pairs are driven by the fundamentals of each economy and primarily delivered by the central banks of these countries. It is systematic, logical and easy to understand if you have 5 minutes spare to learn about it.
But the fundamentals are just one part of your trading process & success. Capital management is at the top of my list every day but in all honesty, there are a number of factors that combine to deliver low risk, high probability trading opportunities. If you don't know what these are and how to implement them, I'm sorry to say it but you're more than likely on a slow path to losing your cash.
We want traders to be successful and to have long-term trading careers. I see value in all forms of trader training but we specialize in something completely different to everyone else. We train you the way the banker's trade!

Brexit is almost over, Trending Markets to Prevail
The deadline for a Brexit deal is March 2019. So there's no better time than right now to tune up your trading skills and get ready for some great trading opportunities.
I'm expecting the markets to go back to 'trending' conditions once it's out of the way and to truly take advantage of this you need to understand what you're doing and how to trade professionally.

The risk of loss in Forex trading can be substantial. You should, therefore, carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in the light of your financial condition. The high degree of leverage that is often obtainable in Forex trading can work against you as well as for you. The use of leverage can lead to large losses as well as gains. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
