Is it really possible to code a Forex robot to intelligently trade under any market condition? Or would it really require artificial intelligence that equals or surpasses the capabilities and complexity or the human brain? While many Forex robot makers would have you believe that such complexity can be bought for under $100 and reside inside your personal PC. This is quite clearly ludicrous.

Don’t get me wrong. There are some very powerful and profitable Forex robots out there. And the best of them such as Gomega Xray trade very well, completely on autopilot. Unfortunately the best Forex robots are only available to a limited number of traders and they are expensive.

The Forex pips machine I’m dreaming about is both affordable, profitable and makes use of the best supercomputers on the planet. The human brain!

What if there were a set of trading rules that virtually guaranteed a steady stream of Forex pips. Give these rules to a machine and it will trade by these rules 24 hours a day, no matter what. The danger is, unless a machine has been programed to include external events or special circumstances, it will simply ignore them. The range of external events and special circumstances are virtually infinite. However as humans, we know rules are made to be broken. We’re not locked to a finite set of crude rules and instructions. We update, change and modify our actions according all the external events and circumstances instantaneously. Clearly a robot running on a fixed set of instructions can find itself a serious disadvantage to a human trader.

So perhaps the ultimate Forex pips machine would be a real live human trader who has had access to the best set of profitable trading rules. You are the real Forex Pips Machine.
