In the modern era, artificially powered robots carry out most online tasks. AI is so powerful that it can make our life easy in any aspect. In the forex trading industry, we have Expert Advisors, which are the scripts that make decisions based on a given set of instructions. In this article, we will learn How to use EA scripts in MetaTrader (MT4, MT5)?
What Is an Expert Advisor?
Above, we’ve shared the basic idea about the Expert Advisors and what it does. Talking further briefly, expert advisors decide on our behalf. Expert Advisor can do that job if you’re out of the desk and looking for an automated script to perform the trading for you.
Advantage Of Expert Advisor
Practically it’s not possible to sit and perform forex trading 24/7. If you’re holding X USD and suddenly the market dropped by -10% as you’re out of the desk eventually, you will suffer the loss. But, if you have configured the expert advisor to decide for you and sell the USD holding if the market drops by -10%, it can save you from further loss.
Disadvantage Of Expert Advisor
Every trading market is volatile, and you need to perform comprehensive research to make the decision. Expert Advisor can only perform decisions based on specific scenarios, but they can not make decisions based on real-time market news, affecting market value.
