Meet the Man Behind TheTradingExperts.Com

Hi... my name is Cecil Robles, and congrats on picking up a copy of The Arbitrage Trading Secret report. I'm confident you'll receive a lot of value from this report. By way of background, I started out career wise as a mortgage banker. It was a decent living however I was working myself to the bone. I was doing 12 hour days and didn’t have much of a life outside of work.

The “dream” of financial freedom was never more than a distant mirage. What's more, work was stressful. My family and I never took time off for a vacation. At the same time, I desperately wanted to make the kind of money that would give me peace of mind and long-term security for my family. Eventually I discovered the world of currency trading and the Forex markets. At first I tried doing things on my own... bought the books, went to the seminars. Got hypnotized by the slick presentations. When it was time to put my own money on the line, there was no one to guide me. No shoulder to look over to see how to get the job done. I was the typical newbie... overwhelmed with emotion and not much of a clue what to do next. It was frustrating and I was getting depressed. If it weren't for a veteran hedge fund manager who took me under his wing, I might have given up on my dreams of financial freedom. Well, It’s been over a decade since I placed my first trade... and thanks to what I learned from my mentor, I haven’t looked back since. Trading has afforded me and my family a dream lifestyle... a lifestyle that can be yours as well. Trading Forex has become a passion... and I'm equally passionate about helping other traders like you succeed as well. Fast forward to today where I trade on a daily basis — my own monies and monies of clients as well. Plus, I provide Forex training to tens of thousands of traders and investors pursuing their own dreams of financial freedom. With all that said, the information in this report has to do with an important part of a diversified trading approach, and that is, automated trading systems. There's a lot of hype in the market when it comes to these types of systems. This report is designed to clear this up... and shed light on recent advances with automated trading systems that my team of financial engineers and I have discovered. May it help you become a more educated and successful trader.

How to Make Money As A Trader: Are You Evolving With the Times?

From the complete newbie all the way up to experienced traders who make 6 figures and more per year... the challenges are the same. And unless you're aware of the pitfalls and potholes along the way, you may end up quitting before reaching the promised land of success. Naturally, when you first begin, you see the huge potential in trading currencies to grow your wealth for retirement... and to produce sufficient cash flow for living life on your own terms. Smart traders recognize the importance and power in having a diversified approach to trading as well. You don't want all your eggs in one basket, especially in a choppy economy. And yet.... sometimes it feels like the process of trading, of reading and understanding the charts, of knowing when to enter or exit a trade... well, it just seems too complicated. It can also be frustrating when you don't have enough time to do it all on your own. Ultimately...when you finally find a good system to trade with, things get exciting. If you're not careful, however, the greed glands begin to swell. The dollar signs flashing before you eyes cloud your brain. Then, all of a sudden, you make a mistake. You try to out-think the trading system you're using. More mistakes follow and fear takes hold. Again... it's not your fault. It happens to every trader at one point or another. You see, everything I've just described can be attributed to the challenges associated with manual trading. If you've experienced any of the symptoms mentioned above, however, it's vital that you don't take it personally. The truth is, your potential to make a lot of money trading the Forex is not dependent on whether you are a "perfect" trader. (No one is a "perfect" trader.) Rather... you want to take advantage of technological breakthroughs in the fields of financial networks and automation to give yourself an unbeatable edge. When I say unbeatable I’m not referring to hyped up strategy based robots. I’m talking about something so powerful that literally only the big investment banks like Goldman Sachs Morgan Stanley have been able to take advantage of itH Until now. The best part is, this type of investment banking strategy is now available to the main street investor and trader like you.

The Rich Get Richer... And So Can You. There are several reasons why 21st century Trading Automation needs to be a vital component in your overall trading strategy... and I'll share more on this in just a moment. For now, it's important to realize that manual trading has a unique set of challenges that can be hard to overcome...even for an experienced trader. The most successful strategists and traders of all time have known this... spurring their search for the trader's "holy grail." Finally, as technology has evolved, that has the capacity to predict market moves and respond with lightning speed... without lifting a finger to do so. As a result, the 21st century trader has automated trading systems available that counteract the problems associated with manual trading. Now, you have a competitive advantage only dreamed of by traders not that long ago. Not only are the rich getting richer... every day main street main street investor’s (this includes you) have an opportunity to rake in bigger profits more consistently than ever before. Now before we dive deeper into the mechanics of the latest in Trading Automation ... let's take a brief look at how trading has evolved to this point.

Back to the Future

Financial markets have been around for thousands of years. In the Greek and Roman eras, the markets were "ruled" by the god Mercury, who was believed to have dominion over the world of trade and finance. Our ties to ancient Greek and Roman times can be seen through words like “merchant”, “commerce”, and “market”, which all derive from the same root as the name Mercurius. It's hard to say if traders back then could ever have envisioned how far the world of trading would evolve. Certainly, financial markets have come a long way since the Greek and Roman civilizations. Mercury would no doubt be impressed.

6

Leaps And Bounds in Record Time The modern markets of the 20th and 21st centuries have seen enormous growth. This has been due in large part to technological advances that have given retail traders much easier access to these markets. The first of these advances came with the electronic telegraph at the turn of the 19th century. The telegraph allowed traders in places like Seattle to have access to the same quotes and news details as their counterparts in the actual exchanges. Traders could then route their orders through these telegraphs. These frontier outposts were initially called "Wire Houses," which evolved over time to become what are known as our modern-day Full-Service Brokerage firms. It wasn’t until the end of the 1940’s that the investment landscape began to change forever. Up until that time, investing was the exclusive playground of the rich. Merrill Lynch, however, had a vision of opening the world of investment to millions of middle-class Americans. Lynch began to setup brokerage houses all over the U.S. where individuals could come in and place trades with their broker. The broker would then place the trades to the pit traders via telephone. He even went so far as to setup the “Stock Mobile”, a motorized brokerage office. By the end of 1956 Merrill Lynch was the largest brokerage firm in the world boasting over 400,000 customers! A new era had indeed dawned.

The Birth of Automated Trading Prior to computers, the only way for a trading system to be developed and plotted was through the use of hand-drawn charts. These charts would be drawn based on the prices traders would receive from quotes. It was a meticulous process. Traders who ascribed to the theories of technical analysis would hand draw their charts based on quote information and then apply their analysis by hand and mathematical computation. Then they would either phone or telegraph their orders in or if they were fortunate enough they would place them on the trading floor. In the 1960’s and 1970’s the next major breakthrough took place with the advent of the modern Super Computer. While the ability for the individual to electronically trade was still a ways off, these super computers made it feasible for a trader to analyze their strategy and compute mathematic equations much quicker. Quantitative analysis was born during this time. As computer technology advanced, virtual marketplaces (also known as electronic communication networks) such as NASDAQ and the NYSE came into being. The Globex was launched fully in 1992, which allowed access to a variety of financial markets such as treasuries, foreign exchange and commodities.

7

Without getting too technical, the birth of electronic exchanges practically all but eliminated the need for a physical exchange and the telephone brokers of yesteryear. Then, in the late 1990’s, the internet happened... and life for traders would never be the same again. The internet has given traders the ultimate weapon which is the ability to analyze and quantify market information at rapid speeds. You can test strategies like lightening, and place trades on the market all at the same time. In addition, the internet and the electronic exchanges have paved the way for automated trading systems to abound. Right now, it's estimated that over 70% of all trading transactions are based on automated trading algorithms that are pre-programmed to make trades based on a subset of parameters.

The One Risk-Free Strategy That Always Works: The Age of Market-Busting Automation Arrives

Even with all the advances in technology, there were still problems with automated trading... and the reason is quite simple. You see, as good as a trading strategy may be today, the markets are always changing. As a result, constant testing and analysis needs to be done on most strategies to make sure they continue to trade at optimal levels.

Which leads us to this moment in time. There is one strategy that has been working like gangbusters for years regardless of what changes in the market. Before advanced computers and software analysis models were available, banks, hedge funds and institutions would always have a few good traders who specialized in a particular area of trading known as arbitrage. Back in the day arbitrage trading was fairly easy. The arbitrage trader would scour the markets for tiny inefficiencies in asset pricing.

When the asset is undervalued in one market and in another market the asset is overvalued, the arbitrage trader creates a system of trades that will force a profit out of the anomaly. It is important to understand that arbitrage trading is not the same as value trading. Value trading is where most individual traders and investors focus. At its core, value trading is when a trader or investor sees an asset as undervalued and buys it in hopes that it will go up in price. The key word here is hope. This is not the same as true arbitrage. Value trading is risky because the value trader has a 50/50 shot, more or less, of being right.

8

True arbitrage actually involves almost zero market risk. The arbitrage trader structures a set of trades that will guarantee a riskless profit, regardless of what the market does afterwards. Take this exampleH suppose an identical security trades in two different places, New York and London. For the sake of simplicity let’s say it is a stock, but it doesn’t really matter. You can arbitrage practically any financial instrument or security. Look at the table below to see how this arbitrage opportunity works out.

Time New York Desk London Desk

8:35:00

8:35:01

8:35:02 Sell 100 @ 35.20 Buy 100 @ 35.10

8:35:03

8:35:04

8:35:05 Buy 100 @ 34.50 Sell 100 @ 34.50

8:35:06

At 8:35:02 the arbitrage trader sees there is a divergence between the two quotes. New York is quoting a higher price than London. The difference happens to be 10 cents. The trader acts fast and sells 100 shares at 35.20 in New York and simultaneously buys 100 shares at 35.10 in London. As you can see the arbitrage trader has bought and sold the same amount of the same security thus essentially eliminating his market risk. He has locked-in a price discrepancy, which he hopes to unwind to realize a riskless profit. His next move is to simply wait for price to come back into sync and close out the two trades. This happens at 8:35:05. He reverses out of the two positions and the final profit is $10 minus his trading fees. This may not be a huge profit, however it took just 3 seconds to execute. The majority of arbitrage trading is like finding pennies on the ground or turning in aluminum cans. The opportunities are small. This is why you have to take larger positions or find more arbitrage opportunities or do both. Like I said earlier, before the age of automation, banks and hedge funds would always have a couple of arbitrage traders around to take advantage of these market anomalies. Technology has changed this. Now these same banks and hedge funds rake in millions a year from arbitrage without the traders having to constantly scour the markets for the right opportunities. They use specialized software to find these anomalies and correct them in a matter of seconds. The end result is a lot of profit added to their bottom line and a much more efficient market.

Manual Trading is NOT the only Answer Now that you're up to speed on how trading has evolved and where things are headed, let's take a closer look at the challenges of trading manually. It should be clear to you also after you review this next section why it's vital to include high-level automation as part of your overall trading approach.

The Human Emotion Rollercoaster

There's not much getting around this one. We are all prone to the wide swings of human emotion. The problem is that in the thick of the battle, your instincts kick in, which can override any intellectual understanding you might have. Fear and greed are rooted deep. Think about it. Even though you instinctively know that taking losses is a part of the game... how often do you get frustrated or fearful when the losses mount up? Then, after a series of consecutive losses it becomes harder to take the next trade. It’s when you don’t push the button because of fear that you miss out on the biggest trade of the year. On the flip side, euphoria can be just as damaging. After you win multiple times you become euphoric, which leads to overconfidence. As a result, on the next trade you place a larger than normal risk or abandon your risk control strategy all together, and it turns into a major loss. Take a look at this next chart. You've probably experienced most if not all of the emotions shown here... as most traders have. The bottom line is the highs and lows of human emotions can wipe out your trading account faster than you can blink an eye.

The Inevitable Human Mistakes

When it comes to Forex trading, there are a number of moving parts. Because of this, it’s not uncommon for traders to make mistakes in one or more aspect of trading at the same time. These trading mistakes can be devastating and I’ve heard horror stories over the years that attest to this. Some of these errors include: • Having a demo account and a live account open at the same time. I once had a student

who did this. He was placing a bunch of trades on what he thought was his demo account, when it was actually his live account. By the time he realized what happened, he was $30,000 in the hole and had a mess of trades to unwind.

• Taking a larger position than what you should have. For instance your position sizing rules

tell you to trade 1 mini lot but instead you trade 1 full lot. Now you have 10 times the risk on this trade. If you don’t catch the trade in time and the trade moves against you, your 1% loss could be a 10% loss.

• Placing your entry orders at the wrong spot. When you are monitoring multiple currencies

and multiple time frames things can get difficult to handle. Sometimes you can place your order entry at the wrong spot. You can either get filled too early or not get filled at all depending on where your order entry goes.

The combination of mistakes that you can make as a trader is practically innumerable... and these mistakes can be extremely costly to your trading account. This is just another fact of life when it comes to trading manually versus using an automated trading system.

The Inability to Analyze Large Sets of Data

Back-testing is a key component to developing a good trading system. Now, in case you're new to trading, back-testing is the process of testing a strategy on prior time periods. So, instead of testing a strategy for a time period going forward (which could take years), a trader can do a simulation of his or her trading strategy on relevant past data to gauge its effectiveness. All technical strategies should be back-tested. I’ve back-tested strategies manually on many occasions and I can tell you this... it can take several weeks to run the numbers through just a few years. If you need to test a new variation or idea you have to go back through and do it again, which can take several more weeks. Another drawback to human back-testing is that in order to do it properly and effectively, you need to analyze multiple years to account for all market conditions. This can be challenging and very time consuming.

11

On top of all this, mistakes are possible during the back-testing process. For example, did you take into account commissions? Did you make every trade you were supposed to? Were you completely rigid in your approach... or did you change things up during the process because you saw certain trades that worked out in your favor by doing it a different way? Manual back-testing is great for learning a strategy inside and out and for getting a good feel for the market movements. There is great value in what I call “chart time” and it make you a better trader overall. That being said, manually testing a strategy or multiple variations of a technical strategy it isn’t efficient at all.

To Automate Or Not To Automate... And Why You Must

I've had numerous traders ask me, "Do trading robots really work?" And the answer I give them is both yes and no. Let me start with the reason why they don’t work first. Most Forex Robots that you see on the market today are not sold by traders. They are sold by marketers. They are typically presented in a way that causes people’s greed glands to swell. In other words, they show unrealistic returns that can never be sustained. It’s impossible to double your account every month without having a blow out at some point or without your trading broker shutting you down (more on that in a minute). Any trader worth their salt knows this. Savvy traders don't fall for this kind of hype. In addition, most of the results they show you are for small time periods, like a month or two. This makes it easy to fit a strategy’s parameters to do well in that timeframe. The longer you stretch out that period of time, however, the more likely the strategy will encounter market conditions where it doesn't work. Bottom line, never waste your money on a strategy that someone is not willing to explain or show you a track record for at least 3-6 months trading live money. Now for the good news... which is that professionally programmed software does work. Institutional traders don’t call them robots, however, but typically call them "automated systems", or "automated trading software ." They're also known as "quant systems" because the original robots were based on quantitative analysis. Quant systems got their footing in the 1970s with the advent of the super computer. Before that, quantitative analysis flourished in the academic community during the 1950s and 1960s with the work of guys like Harry Markowitz, Robert Merton, and a host of others.

12

Large firms like Goldman Sachs use quant systems and algorithms to manage their assets... and arbitrage trading is a huge part of their automated trading strategy. Traders like Bill Dunn of Dunn Capital management have used quant systems on managed futures since the 1970’s. Dunn has produced a composite return of 18% per year for the past 28 years and manages over $1 billion dollars. So yes, Forex robots do work and they can be highly profitable. What's more, professionally programmed arbitrage automated systems solves most if not all of the problems associated with manual trading. For example... • Arbitrage automation systems help eliminate human

emotion by executing orders automatically and making all decisions based on pre-programming.

• They don't require lengthy manual back testing because the

strategy is not based on traditional technical analysis rules. • Once a strategy has been programmed with the trading

logic needed to execute and manage orders, you are able to eliminate the human error. For example, the algorithm will always enter the correct position size you enter.

• Arbitrage automation does not “game” the market through clever programming, it exploits

the market through strategic programming. There’s no more guesswork involved. While using an automated trading system helps eliminate the problems associated with manual trading and makes results much more consistent... that’s only the start of the benefits. One of the biggest advantages is that automated trading systems reduce the amount of time spent in front of the charts, giving you the freedom to enjoy the important things in life.

Professional Arbitrage Software: 21st Century Forex Automation

Now, aside from what I call the proliferation of "scambots" on the market, you can get access to some very high-level automated arbitrage trading systems based true latency arbitrageH which are virtually fool-proof. In fact, some of the largest banks and hedge funds use advanced arbitrage software and High-Frequency trading systems (HFT’s) to profit from the financial markets with amazing accuracy... and so can you. This kind of software gives the main street investor/trader the unique opportunity to participate in the “hidden” world of high Forex profits. So how can you tell the difference... and what should you be looking for? Well, first you have to understand the difference between nearly all automated systems and arbitrage software.

13

To begin, the basic mechanics of the majority of trading robots are pretty much the same. They analyze and compare various market data to the parameters that have been pre-programmed into it. Based on its analysis, the robot then makes a trade or stays away from the market. Bad robots are generally programmed using fixed entry and exit rules. The biggest problem with this logic is that it does not factor in rapidly changing market conditions. For instance, the logic may be that if price goes to X happens then the bot will enter a trade with a 10 pip stop loss and a 35 pip profit target. If a high impact news announcement is released, however, market dynamics can shift quickly and volatility can go through the roof. 99% of retail trading robots sold by marketers do not factor things like this in and therefore they lose very rapidly. They are overly simple and what I call "static robots." The best and most profitable systems are systems like arbitrage and high frequency trading systems that are not looking to capitalize on ups and downs in the market. Rather they capitalize on the inefficiencies found within the market. It's like having a crystal ball that sees a few hundred milliseconds into the future. Essentially, these arbitrage systems don’t need to adjust to market conditions. In fact no strategy is needed at all because you are not guessing which way the market is going, rather you already know. What's more, today’s arbitrage strategies are able to process information at lightning speed in a way that your human brain simply can't. Let’s say you were looking at doing arbitrage yourself. You’d have to monitor two or more data feeds from two or more brokers all at once. Then you’d have to find the price discrepancies and instantly make a decision to buy or sell a particular asset. And more than likely, your human eye would not even be able to see the discrepancy before it was gone.

Not so with automated arbitrage software based on an arbitrage strategy. It is able to monitor multiple broker feeds (both fast and slow brokers) and find the market inefficiencies at lightning speed. It then filters the opportunities through a certain set of parameters. Finally, it executes and manages the trade before closing out for a profit or a small loss... all within a few seconds or a few minutes. And without breaking a sweat, getting emotional or causing you to curse at your computer screen.

In a nutshell, trades using this kind of software are always executed in a way that gives you the best chance of maximizing your gains.

Hedge Fund Profits For Main Street Investors

As the title of this report suggests, and as you've discovered in these pages, the art and science of trading has come a long way since the Greek and Roman eras. Now, more than ever before, you can access the same tools and systems used by the big banks and hedge funds to practically demand money from the markets. The advantages to using an automated arbitrage more than offsets the challenges of trading manually. If you are experienced at trading, it's an additional income stream. If you're still learning how to trade, your account can grow on smoothly and passively while you sharpen your trading skills. The bottom line is that when it comes to trading in today's volatile market, using an automated trading system based on arbitrage strategy is a vital component of a smart trading plan. Automated trading systems based on Arbitrage Strategies give you a chance to rake in profits on autopilot... no matter what's happening in the economy. Over the remaining pages of this report, I'm going to tell you about an automated trading system called “Forex A2.” that is based on the most advanced arbitrage strategies on the planet. This system exceeded all my expectations as you’ll soon see. By way of background, I've spent a good deal of time in front of the charts and in the trading trenches. What's more, I have programmed and back-tested numerous automated trading systems over the last 10 years, some of which have been very profitable and some of which have failed over time. In a nutshell, I have seen what works and what doesn't. In addition, I’ve worked with some of the best programmers and financial engineers in the industry, and poured tens of thousands of my own dollars into creating the best automated trading tools possible. The reality is that programming profitable trading strategies is not only costly and time consuming... it's extremely difficult. Unless you're flush with cash, and have some programming knowledge, it's far better to invest in professional-grade tools than to try and create your own... and that's where a system like Forex A2 comes into play.

The Arbitrage Trading Secret: Introducing Forex A2

Forex A2 is short for Forex Arbitrage Automation... and it is not your typical Forex Robot. Rather, it is a highly sophisticated stand-alone software that uses cutting edge Arbitrage technology to successfully trade any currency pair available as well as CFD’s such as DAX, Spot Gold and Spot Silver. As mentioned earlier in this report, arbitrage is an extremely powerful way to trade, especially combined with automation and institutional level price feeds. What this means is that Forex A2 is the same kind of software that is used by institutional level clients such as brokers, hedge funds and professional traders. Forex A2 performs faster than any manual trader could, and with no emotional attachment. It finds arbitrage opportunities in a currency pair more accurately and manages risk more intelligently. Ultimately, it makes important arbitrage trading decisions with lightning speed. Now to better understand what Forex A2, let's dive deeper into the subject of Forex Arbitrage and more specifically how Forex Arbitrage works. The most popular form is one-legged arbitrage. That is when a trader compares the quotes provided by one broker, e.g. a slower broker, with the quotes of another, faster broker. This is also known as latency arbitrage.

If the trader sees an upward (long) movement in the quotes of the faster broker, the trader establishes a buy position with the slower broker. Conversely, if the faster broker shows a downward (short) movement, a sell position with the slower broker is established. While simple at first glance, this sort of trading has a number of problems... unless you use institutional level software like Forex A2. The problem is that Forex brokers don’t want traders who rely on arbitrage systems... because they usually end up losing money when these systems are used.

To understand this idea you must understand how most brokers handle your orders. Most brokers, especially Meta Trader 4 brokers, facilitate trading activity through the a-book and the b-book. With the a-book, all orders are relayed to a liquidity provider; with the b-book, orders are kept internally. Traders with arbitrage trading systems typically open accounts with small deposits.

16

When a broker sees an account with a small deposit, the account goes into the b-book. In the b-book, orders are executed instantly, which gives the trader with an arbitrage system a good chance to make money. A $100 deposit can be parlayed into several thousand dollars. Detecting the arbitrage activity, the broker closes the account and halts the trader’s activity. The broker can also delay order execution, in which case arbitrage systems stop being profitable. If the account is switched to the a-book, trades end up with a liquidity provider, which also views arbitrage trades as toxic, and does not tend to favor such trading. The problems and implications of using arbitrage systems, therefore, are obvious. Forex arbitrage traders are obliged to switch brokers frequently. In an endless quest to make money, arbitrage traders open accounts at one broker under their own names as well as those of their friends and family, before moving on to another Forex broker.

Inside the Forex A2 Brain As explained, the biggest problem with any arbitrage system lies solely with the broker's tolerance of you using such a system. For example, some brokers have an aggregator that connects the broker to several liquidity providers through what is known as a prime broker. When this is the case, your buy order can be routed to one liquidity provider, while your offsetting sell order to close the position can be routed to another. This type of setup makes it more difficult for the broker to identify your system as an arbitrage system. Forex A2 provides a number of solutions for this all too common problem. It gives you an opportunity to capitalize on the enormous profit potential of arbitrage trading. One such solution allows you to postpone the closing of a position. In other words, the software won't close the position a few seconds or even milliseconds after the position has been established, which is a huge red flag. Instead, there is a time delay that allows you to camouflage your arbitrage trading so it looks like a trend-following system. This makes it harder for the broker to halt your trading activity. A second solution is using what are known as ‘Fill Or Kill’ (FOK) orders. FOK orders instruct a broker to execute a transaction immediately and completely or not at all. In other words, the order must be filled in its entirety or cancelled (killed). The purpose of a FOK order is to ensure that a position is entered at a desired price and at that price only. This ensures the safety of your account in the event that the broker slips your order. In other words you will always get the best price or you won’t get into the trade.

It’s pretty impressive considering that the average win is in many cases two to three times larger than the average loss.

And with an impressive profit factor of 10.68, you can continue to expect above average returns in the months and years ahead. The other good news is that when you trade with Forex A2, market conditions and changes don’t matter. In fact the more volatile the market is the better Forex A2 performs. On the next page, take a look at the trades that Forex A2 captured during the last Non-Farm Payroll day on May 6, 2016. There were 49 trades made with only 9 of them being small losses.

Notice also that the majority of trades didn’t happen until at least 4 minutes after the actual non-farm payroll announcement at 8:30am EST. That’s because Forex A2 has a special news filter built into it that allows you to determine which news announcements you want it to trade around and which ones you don’t. You can also set it to start trading 5 minutes after a major news announcement when the volatility is high and the market is more inefficient than at other times. Just as important, the money management algorithm can be adjusted to fit your specific risk tolerance and goalsH and can be set to figure lot size by account balance and recent trading history. This optimizes the lot size to the best possible value for current market conditions. And as you can see, the results speak for themselves... which is exactly what you want in an automated trading system. Forex A2 is an institutional-grade Arbitrage trading software that allows you to grow your account on autopilot. It's an excellent addition to a diversified trading portfolio that includes both manual and automated trading approaches.

How Does Forex A2 Work? Forex A2 is a standalone software that can connect with any slow and fast broker through either a MetaTrader 4 connection or Fix API. The most popular way to trade Arbitrage is by using our 1-Leg Latency Arbitrage as profits can and often do exceed 30% per month. With the Forex A2 1-Leg Latency Arbitrage Software you would only need to open an account with one slow broker (we provide you with several options and keep the list up to date monthly). Forex A2 has a built in fast feed that can be connected for you for free depending on where your slow broker is located. If your slow broker is located in Europe and has their servers in LD4 (London) then we will use our LD4 fast feed from a main liquidity provider. There is no cost to you for this feed. If your slow broker is located in the U.S. on NY4 servers then we will set your account up with our fast feed liquidity provider based in the U.S. on NY4 servers. This process allows us to further reduce the latency, which makes for a very fast arbitrage trade execution. To further reduce any latency your software is installed on a cross connected VPS (virtual private server). By doing this we completely eliminate the travel time that each order takes to get to your broker. Here's how this connection works...

In simple terms your orders never have to leave the data centers to get to your brokers server. It goes directly to the broker’s server within a few meters of our racks. This kind of infrastructure was previously only available for institutional organizations. You however can now piggyback on our institutional connections. This also means that you will have a 99.9% uptime. You don’t have to install anything on your computer and you don’t have to monitor things 24/7. Below you can see an example of how the Forex A2 1-Leg looks when setup:

Forex A2 is the ultimate arbitrage automation software for Main Street Investors who want to cash in on the ever-present inefficiencies in the market. The important thing to remember is that Forex A2 is not dependent ON the market... it takes advantage of profit loopholes IN the market. Because of the level of profits this software is able to snoop out of the market... we can only accept a limited number of new traders each month into the program. At some point we will likely cap it off entirely.

Automate Your Way To Forex Riches

Whether your goal is to make part-time income or build a 7-figure retirement, including an automated trading system is a key component to achieving those goals. However... not just any such system. The advances in arbitrage automation software that can exploit the inefficiencies in the market are remarkable. This type of software can now give you an advantage that was once just a dream. Once upon a time the only way to trade was to wire it in or call it in. When super computers made quantitative analysis possible, traders were still forced to trade manually... which as you know, has challenges that can be hard to overcome. Fear and greed have been the death of many a trader and yet... they don't have to be. Even the best of traders can yell at the computer or get greedy when they hit on a big trade. The truth is, emotional swings can make it hard to win consistently... regardless of your skill level. Factor in an economy that is teetering right and left... and it should be obvious that you need to include an automated trading system as part of your overall trading approach. Having such a system based on arbitrage and high frequency trading in your portfolio adds another income stream that you can count on to deliver positive results. It eliminates human emotion along with all the other issues associated with trading manually. We also talked about what to look for in an automated trading system (or robot) and pointed out the differences between "scambots" and professional-grade systems and tools. These differences cannot be emphasized enough. Don't waste your money or time on hyped up robots that promise you the sun and moon but fail to deliver.

As a trader, you need to evolve or you may get left behind. Your best bet is with a professionally-developed software like Forex A2 that lets you capitalize on the best of technology at a time when you need it the most. Now as I just mentioned, there are a limited number of licenses available for this software. Look for a special invitation that will be sent to your inbox along with more details on the software. You will be asked to answer a small number of questions to make sure you qualify. Once it's clear this is a good fit, you will have the opportunity to acquire a Forex A2 license. Until then... good trading!
