A few years ago, driven by my curiosity, I took my first steps into the world of Forex algorithmic trading by creating a demo account and playing out simulations (with fake money) on the Meta Trader 4 trading platform.

After a week of ‘trading’, I’d almost doubled my money. Spurred on by my own successful algorithmic trading, I dug deeper and eventually signed up for a number of FX forums. Soon, I was spending hours reading about algorithmic trading systems (rule sets that determine whether you should buy or sell), custom indicators, market moods, and more.
