Is a forex robot a good investment ?

Is a forex robot a good investment to trade small amounts of money relatively safely? I've heard that some of them have almost 90% accuracy. Which one would you recommend and how much should you know about forex trading should you know before you use one ?

An Expert Advisor is a robot that utilizes an automated script for a trading platform software (Mt4) to manage positions and orders automatically. It is a mechanical trading system that picks starting and stopping points for trades as well as maintain a position, without requiring a trader be present to control those actions. Emotions play a big part in trading so having an automated system definitely removes that factor.

Different systems work on different market environments. And as we all know, the market always shifts. Given this, the system that you may be using may work at one point but not on the other. At least you should know some trading basics before you use one.

Having a system, though, would not hurt any trader.
