Forex trading does not always go smoothly and sometimes it can be frustrating. Some Forex traders can become greedy or fearful, and for this reason, they are often inclined to make bad decisions that can negatively affect their trading. One way to avoid this issue would be to use a Forex expert advisor (Forex EA).

A Forex EA is an automated system, which monitors the Forex markets and provides signals upon identifying trading opportunities. Although we do not recommend any specific EAs, due to their unpredictability, some professional traders do find them to be of benefit.

The Forex market is open for trading 24 hours a day Monday – Friday. Being constantly active around these is obviously not possible for humans, however, a machine can trade for days without ever needing to take a break. Furthermore, EAs can be used on many FX trading platforms. Some of them allow traders to fully customise their trading systems, and then use them on a personal account, such as MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5).

This article will focus on what Forex EAs are and how they work.
