Auto Trading Brokers

Recommended Posts

I am having mine account handled by aaafx...they have low spreads, no commission with the auto-trading platform, and the most imp. very low slippage with providers. I have also used alpari for some time but the combined cost of commissions and slippage was a killer for me.:crap::crap:

I'm leaning toward using MBTrading at first because they have low minimum funds requirements with no inactivity fees. Interactive Brokers is a close second, but has fees for inactivity.

Is anyone making money with any autotrading brokers?

 

If so, is it a managed account or are you running an EA or similar automated strategy?

 

I am :haha:

but I am my own account manager - meaning I choose who to follow and how much lots and open trades to follow with. :rofl:

Dear Forum,

I am thinking of using MBTrading for an auto trade program. Are they good?

Are there better brokers to interface to an excel program?

Thanks!

Mike

I forgot to reply before, you can check as well zulutrade - the trading history can be excel exported.

I make money with forex robot but it is a robot that I programmed with meta quotes. I started trading manually few years ago and only after I had a clear trading plan with a positive statistics I started programming my trading plan and it works good for me- I don't believe in other automated platforms or services. Either way, you got to have a broker that supports forex robots, such as Alpari, FXCM or Sunbirdfx…Good luck with that!

I contacted MBTrading, they don't have rack space at any of the true exchange colocation datacentres. They only offer a VPS service, you can't actually put your own server in. This is bad because for true HF, you need a lot of CPU and memory which is not very cost effective to get on a shared machine using a VPS setup.

VPS service are really not that effective. Is there an alternate for this? vbulletin-smile.gif

 

Buying a dedicated server or hosting your own server near the broker's trading server.

 

But seriously, can you explain why a quality VPS service is not adequate.

 

HFT is probably discouraged on their retail platforms. you would have to go it alone if you desire sub-millisecond HFT.

The main challenge with zulutrade is that most 'investors' sort by highest roi. Many of the traders trade to make their stats look good long enough to entice investors. Then finally the blowup happens. The investor has no idea what happened. Even with some kind of equity stop loss, you are still trying to figure out if you should continue with the same signal or just find a new signal.

 

What is even worse is that the investor may be copying several signals at once, trying to "diversify". But without an understanding of the underlying strategy used in EACH signal, how can you even begin to manage the risk? I like the concept of zulutrade, but unfortunately they are mainly for show. Many blind-leading-the-blind there.

 

I've seen situations where the zulutrade bridge went offline with mt4. I do understand that MQ and ZT had a falling out. But social copy bridges do have some serious flaws and the bridge providers rarely take it seriously enough. Once they have their commissions (which they get on every trade), they tend to ignore any technological deficiencies unless they are major. The commission model also needs work, where at least myfxbook's autotrade only pays out on profitable trades. The current model encourages signal providers to churn out as many trades as possible, not necessarily profitable.

 

I was speaking to a funds manager about social networks, and he admitted that licensed fund managers and others with serious hedge funds do not use these services; way too much counterpary risk.

yeah they look similar, but are you sure you will be making good returns? At least with zulutrade we know that transactions are secured (as it is registered) and from the record and the volume of the trading - people are actually making money :2c:

    • Date: 25th April 2024. Investors Monitor a Potential Japanese Intervention, and upcoming Tech Earnings. Meta stocks top earnings expectations, but revenue guidance for the next 6 months triggers significant selloff. Meta stocks decline 15.00% and the Magnificent Seven also trade lower. Japanese Authorities are on watch and most market experts predict the Japanese Federal Government will intervene once again. The Japanese Yen is the day’s worst performing currency while the Australian Dollar continues to top the charts. The US Dollar trades 0.10% lower, but this afternoon’s performance is likely to be dependent on the US GDP. USA100 – Meta Stocks Fall 15% On the Next 6-Months Guidance The NASDAQ has declined 1.51% over the past 24 hours, unable to maintain momentum from Monday and Tuesday. Technical analysts advise the decline is partially simply a break in the bullish momentum and the asset continues to follow a bullish correction pattern. However, if the decline continues throughout the day, the retracement scenario becomes a lesser possibility. In terms of indications and technical analysis, most oscillators, and momentum-based signals point to a downward price movement. The USA100 trades below the 75-Bar EMA, below the VWAP and the RSI hovers above 40.00. All these factors point towards a bearish trend. The bearish signals are also likely to strengthen if the price declines below $17,295.11. The stock which is experiencing considerably large volatility is Meta which has fallen more than 15.00%. The past quarter’s earnings beat expectations and according to economists, remain stable and strong. Earnings Per Share beat expectations by 8.10% and revenue was as expected. However, company expenses significantly rose in the past quarter and the guidance for the second half of the year is lower than previous expectations. These two factors have caused investors to consider selling their shares and cashing in their profits. Meta’s decline is one of the main causes for the USA100’s bearish trend. CFRA Senior Analyst, Angelo Zino, advises the selloff may be a slight over reaction based on earnings data. If Meta stocks rise again, investors can start to evaluate a possible upward correction. However, a concern for investors is that more and more companies are indicating caution for the second half of the year. The price movements will largely now depend on Microsoft and Alphabet earnings tonight after market close. Microsoft is the most influential stock for the NASDAQ and Alphabet is the third. The two make up 14.25% of the overall index. If the two companies also witness their stocks decline after the earnings reports, the USA100 may struggle to gain upward momentum. EURJPY – Will Japan Intervene Again? In the currency market, the Japanese Yen remains within the spotlight as investors believe the Japanese Federal Government is likely to again intervene. The Federal Government has previously intervened in the past 12 months which caused a sharp rise in the Yen before again declining. The government opted for this option in an attempt to hinder a further decline. Volatility within the Japanese Yen will also depend on today’s US GDP reading and tomorrow’s Core PCE Price Index. However, investors will more importantly pay close attention to the Bank of Japan’s monetary policy. Investors will be keen to see if the central bank believes it is appropriate to again hike in 2024 as well as comment regarding inflation and the economy. In terms of technical analysis, breakout levels can be considered as areas where the exchange rate may retrace or correct. Breakout levels can be seen at 166.656 and 166.333. However, the only indicators pointing to a decline are the RSI and similar oscillators which advise the price is at risk of being “overbought”. Always trade with strict risk management.
