    Spread betting, a viable option to make a living out of?

    You are talking absolute nonsense now. Robots work off indicators , they are scripts, activated by price action at an indicator chosen by the EA. Thats what they are. In simple terms, a breakout EA would buy (or sell) as price action went through a support or resistance line drawn by a custom...

    So now I reveal I understand how these robots actually work you are changing your response. First you said you include human behaviour into your algarithm, when I challenge that based on how these things actually work, you now say your programme doesnt need to adapt because the markets never...

    Which would be correct. Its also not possible to have a manual system that will always work. Why? Because markets (all of them, not just forex) are ever evolving. Having a system is good. Some of the better commercial ones can help new people in so far as giving them high (ish) probability...

    No I am not, it happens to be my initials. MBTrading are American , I , as I clearly state, am based here in the UK. As for the comments, I think that any reputable dealer has enough clients that whether an individual is trading 5 times or 50 times a week is insignificant to them. I for one...
