Can I use automated trading robots or EAs with my forex broker?

You can usually use automated trading robots or Expert Advisors if your broker supports a platform with scripting capabilities, such as MetaTrader. These tools let you encode specific rules for entries, exits, and risk management so trades can be executed automatically without manual intervention. Before relying on automation, you should confirm that the broker allows such activity in its terms and does not restrict strategies like high‑frequency trading or arbitrage. It is also important to test robots thoroughly on demo and then with small live positions, because real‑market conditions, slippage, and spreads can differ from backtests. Running EAs on a stable connection or VPS helps minimize downtime. Automation can be powerful but does not guarantee profits and can amplify errors if programmed poorly.
