Automated trading software is becoming ever more popular among the foreign exchange traders, and software manufacturers are already selling several types of forex robots. The currency market is the largest trading market in the world – and also the most volatile. Due to the fast changes in exchange rates, the traders are required to constantly analyze the situation and respond to the market tendencies swiftly. There is no time for emotions or indecisiveness when trading on the forex market.

This situation has led a few trading experts together with a number of programmers to create and design specialized software, aiming to assist new traders in learning the system and in coping with the tough competition. The resulting program was called an expert advisor, also known as the forex robot.

Currently, there are multiple types of forex robots available. They are usually classified into two groups, named after the trading indicator types – namely, the velocity/momentum forex robots and the continuation forex robots.

Out of the two types of forex robots, the velocity/momentum programs analyze the changes in currency price, the fluctuations and price movement and set up the results in patterns, grouping them together and storing them in order to be used to reference or understand specific trading situations. Displaying the price changes would help determine a pattern in price movement, assisting the trader with understanding price modifiers and their causing factors while at the same time improving their ability to identify profitable trading opportunities. The velocity/momentum type of trading software helps the user understand the strong points and the weaknesses of different markets.

The continuation software is the second of the types of forex robots. These programs use averages to determine the market trends by monitoring the currency trading movements over extended periods of time. The most important benefit of average-based software is the flexibility they confer.

Based both on specialist opinion and on feedback from the trading community, these two types of forex robots seem to play an important part in improving the climate of the currency trading market nowadays.
