How to Install Forex Advisor – Universal manual + Mini-F.A.Q.

Here is information for installing, setting and using Forex Expert Advisors for Metatrader 4 and answers to frequently asked questions about working with trading robots on Forex.

Many novice traders somehow associate EAs with something mysterious and magical. There is no magic here – an EA is nothing more than a strategy for manual trading, but automated. If a manual system is unprofitable, then any, even the best, programmer in the world will not help – the EA will trade at a loss.

Forex Economic Calendar

Forex economiс calendar

Many factors affect the Forex market, and among them there are economic reports, politicians’ speeches, sentiment indexes calculated by universities, etc. Let’s call them news in brief.

News varies in importance, impact on a particular currency pair, etc. Some traders enter the market at the time of the news release, and another traders on the contrary try to avoid them.
