Robot for binary options (expert Advisor) is a program code that gives you the opportunity to trade in automatic mode. The robot is based on a combination of several indicators working on a strategy and system of risk management, limiting potential losses. Professionals (especially those with MT4) can optimize the code, the rest of the traders to increase profits can use the settings of the indicators of the program. As in the case with strategies, the advisers should be tested.
Rules of work with Expert Advisor
Robot saves time, but still requires human control. Advantage of advisors is that they are faster and more accurate than humans determine the new point to the entrance, but only work for a given algorithm. The best option just use MT4, sharpened by algorithmic trading. After the program is installed in the appropriate folder, it is ready for use. And the biggest advantage of MT4 is the ability to upload backtest to analyze deals.
The types of robots for binary options:
- fully automatic. According to signals of indicators determine the entry points in the market, can work without the intervention of the trader;
- semi-automatic. A trader himself sets (changes) the size of the bet, early stopping binary option or extends it in manual mode, set the parameters of the risk-management etc.
We highly recommend semi-automatic robots, since the work of programs is not perfect and needs human control. And yet expert Advisor is a very effective program.
How to choose an adviser:
- each Robot works only with a specific asset and on the same timeframe. Decide what strategy you want to use and choose a robot for binary options;
- no need to pay for money for application (Robot can cost an average of $ 200)! Even for Forex a reliable robot is an expert Advisor with quality backtester and bound to the monitor. Binary options accounts are rarely attached to monitor, so there is a big risk to waste money;
- test robot on a demo account, fix main parameters of the system and make sure that the robot on a real account is not different from the test.

How to work with trading signals on the example of Grosl Trader platform
Not all platforms allow you to install expert advisors and the alternative is trading signals that can be provided by the broker and the developer of the platform. Every broker is interested in the fact that the client increases the volume of transactions and best of all this is motivated by profit. Because the broker is interested that people receive accurate signals.
- Reference: trading signals — it is the recommendation of the broker for the opening of transaction with a specific asset. Analysts of the broker themselves in manual or automatic mode, determine the best point to enter the market and give recommendations to the trader. The amount of the transaction defines the trader. Advantages: the trader does not need to understand the principles of operation of the indicators or to install robots.
Signals appear 3-10 times a day and not always accurate, but the total results from trade are still positive. A striking example — the platform Grosl Trader. It is not only convenient itself, but allows you to connect any broker from the drop-down list and provides the trader with signals when to open the position.

Summary. Robot or automated trading EA is a trader’s assistant with which the trade is convenient and profitable. To work effectively you need to understand the operating principle of this EA, test it on a demo account and monitor the trade in semi-manual mode.
