Humans have little chance against a well programmed forex trading system. All the key decisions including currency pairs, entry points, exit intervals, loan to equity for each trade, and the limit orders can be instantly executed with a programmed forex trading system. Though currency or fx trading systems are complex beasts, even setting up the basics of currency pairs like CHF/GBP, how high to borrow from 1 to 75, etc., or when to enter and exit the trade can be enough to make the software pay for itself. By quickly producing orders that would require precious minutes if done manually, a forex trading system can lock in profits and prevent or cut loses in an instant. Only the programming of the forex trading system software must be tuned to assure it is a productive rather than a destructive tool

By following these steps, forex trading system software can be configured and employed safely and more than likely, profitably.

1. Make a careful list of each thought process leading to decisions for the trade. For example: Select entry points for trade based on a limit reached.

2. Define the currency or forex trading method recorded in discrete phases such as analysis, deciding tradable currencies, trends to ride, how much to borrow for each trade, then deciding where to enter and where to close the trade.

3. Create a step by step list for each phase of the decision and order production process. This can end up looking like 3 steps of analysis for each action or order execution. Analysis steps are need for several phases such as analyzing existing positions, when to move stops higher or lower, and when to modify exit points. Forex trading systems are primarily analysis tools, so this to be expected. There could logically be at least 3 analysis phases per decision phase. Foreign currency trading is a high analysis, instant decision field and often requires making mistakes within the system to hone it into profitability. Most of the mistakes will come in the analysis phase, not the order execution phase.

4. Coding the trading system is straight forward when all of the decision steps for the forex trading method have been recorded. Foreign currency trading brokerages often provide the software for trading. Generally the order entry screen includes menus for selecting currencies for trading. Additionally, there are leverage selections from 1 to 100. 100 is for kamikaze traders! 10:1 leverage is good enough for nice profits without risking the whole account. The most challenging aspect of setting up and using a trading system is defining position entry and exits. Simple but still effective is the age old limit trigger. When for example the USD trades below X against the YEN, then sell USD/buy YEN. This is a trend following technique that is tried and true.

5. Testing the system is the most important step. Even after all the decision and analysis criteria are coded into the system, there are conditions the software does not decision criteria for perhaps, or possibly it is missing too many profit opportunities. In either case, untested currency trading systems can put a portfolio at risk. Test and test again.
