FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Does automated trading guarantee better results?

No. Automation can execute rules consistently, but it cannot guarantee profitable results or eliminate market risk.

Can an automated strategy fail?

Yes. Strategy assumptions, market conditions, connectivity, software issues or incorrect configuration can cause losses.

Should I test an automated strategy first?

Testing can help identify weaknesses, but historical or simulated results do not guarantee future performance.

Can I leave an automated system completely unattended?

Continuous unattended use can create additional operational risk. Monitoring and clear safeguards are important.

Important Information

Automated trading can magnify mistakes as well as execute valid rules. Historical testing does not guarantee future results. Verify feature compatibility, monitor systems and use appropriate financial and operational risk controls.
