No.
Are the same assets offered in both Auto Trading and Manual Trading?
No. Not all assets offered on the MT4 Platform are available on the Auto Trading Platforms.
What are the main benefits of using the Auto Trading Platforms?
The main advantages of Auto Trading are related to speed, accuracy, and reduced costs. Strategies are predetermined and are executed automatically.
The speed at which these trades are made is measured in fractions of a second, faster than humans can perceive. Also, trading with algorithms has the advantage of scanning and executing on multiple indicators at very high speeds, offering more opportunities and better prices.
The accuracy of an order executed on an automated system removes the margin for error that exists on manual trading, for example accidentally putting in the wrong trade, buying the wrong currency pair, or for the wrong amount etc. Similarly, automated trading saves time. Traders don't need to spend as much time monitoring the markets, looking for the right opportunity.
One of the biggest advantages of auto trading is the ability to remove human emotion. This is an advantage because emotions such as fear or greed can lead to irrational or spasmodic decisions statistically resulting in an undesirable outcome.
Another important advantage of our Auto Trading Platforms is the ability to Back Test strategies. Traders can choose to evaluate the past performance of every available strategy, before adding it to their portfolio.
