The main advantages of Auto Trading are related to speed, accuracy, and reduced costs. Strategies are predetermined and are executed automatically.

The speed at which these trades are made is measured in fractions of a second, faster than humans can perceive. Also, trading with algorithms has the advantage of scanning and executing on multiple indicators at very high speeds, offering more opportunities and better prices.

The accuracy of an order executed on an automated system removes the margin for error that exists on manual trading, for example accidentally putting in the wrong trade, buying the wrong currency pair, or for the wrong amount etc. Similarly, automated trading saves time. Traders don't need to spend as much time monitoring the markets, looking for the right opportunity.

One of the biggest advantages of auto trading is the ability to remove human emotion. This is an advantage because emotions such as fear or greed can lead to irrational or spasmodic decisions statistically resulting in an undesirable outcome.

Another important advantage of our Auto Trading Platforms is the ability to Back Test strategies. Traders can choose to evaluate the past performance of every available strategy, before adding it to their portfolio.

In the Futures market, the transition of an expiring Futures contract to a new Futures contract is called a Rollover. The client can choose either to close their position or to Rollover their position to a future date based on the new contract price, until the next cycle of expiration. A P&L adjustment will apply according to the spread at the time of rollover and price of the old contract and the new one. Trades which are not rolled over will be automatically closed upon expiry and Profit/Loss at the time of closing will be adjusted with trading account.

It means the date on which the existing trades on old CFD contract can be closed, however, new trades on Old CFD contract cannot be opened. New trades can be opened on New CFD contract which is available for trading.

The “expiration date” is the last day on which specific Futures CFD will expire. All the existing open trades will be closed by company on upon expiry and Profit/Loss at the time of closing will be adjusted with trading account.

This adjustment will appear in the client’s trading account as ‘Rollover adjustment’ and will be credited/debited on the clients’ trading account equity, something that might lead to Margin-call or Stop-out.
