Forex robots are traders' indispensable assistants in the international currency market. They are also called forex-trading advisors. Frankly speaking, today no successful forex trader or broker can do without such a helper, because robots are able to work on a round-the-clock basis and are free from emotions and stress.
The statistics says that 80% of successful traders are actually automatic advisors. Other 12% are successful up to the moment when emotions prevail. Main enemies of profit are fear, avidity and futile hope. Even the most professional trader, who knows for sure where the market goes and what the figures will be in a particular period of time, can make a mistake and as a result incurs losses. To return what was lost the trader runs great risks and in the end loses everything. The trading robot is beyond any illusions concerning the currency market and never makes silly mistakes, because it buys and sells according the input program and best trading strategy.
Free or paid advisor?

Of course, when you just Open Forex Account, there is no need to invest much money. Use free versions that are quite enough for the beginning. With time and experience paid robots are vital to make profit. Note that the correlation of invested money and result should be logical: it is nonsense to buy a 300$ robot for 200$ deposit.
To buy a forex advisor a trader should attend a trading platform and search for a robot. If you know the name you can buy it on the developer’s site and get technical support like a bonus. If you find a paid robot for free, be ready that the program may work with mistakes what will lead to losses.
