A Forex robot trading system is a computer program that trades unattended on the Foreign Exchange. The computer monitors the market 24 hours a day making trades when the timing is perfect, even when you're sleeping. And you don't get stressed out because the computer is making all the hard decisions. A Forex robot trading system is a great tool, but there are 10 things you need to check before choosing a vendor.

1 - Vendor guarantee and refund policy - You want a 60 day refund policy that offers your complete satisfaction or complete refund.  A 60 day refund policy means that you have 60 days to determine if the product is right for you.

2 - Installation should be fast and easy.  Most vendors allow you to download the program and get started immediately. Any problem with the installation is a red flag to me and could indicate more troubles later.

3 - Does the Forex robot trading system have a quick start video to get you up and running right away? A video or audio clip is a big help for any areas that you don't understand.  The best software will have the right amount of help in the places where you need it.

4 - The program should be simple to navigate and easy to understand.   Does it make sense to you? Is it easy to move through the different screens? Do you understand the commands?

5 - Logic is the brain of the program and makes all of the decisions.  These decisions are based on set of rules.  Who designed the rules and what are they modeled after?  How does the logic perform in the market real time?  Was it back tested, and how far back?

6 - High quality software development requires good people to build, test, and support the product.  You should not expect to get high quality software for nothing.  Don't scrimp here.  After all, you're using this system to make money so using the best software will give you the best opportunity for trading success.

7 - Does the Forex robot trading system  support real time trading with demo accounts? You will need this feature to get familiar with the system.  This is  your chance to test all of the different trading options before investing any real money.

8 - Will the software run on your personal computer? Does it need the Windows XP or Vista operating system?

9 - Is your internet connection fast enough to run the program?  What are the bandwidth requirements? Will you have any problems running your computer for 24 hours a day? Are there other another options like hosted accounts that will allow you to run the program without an internet connection?

10 - What if you run into problems? Does the vendor have help via live chat?  How about the 800 number?  How long do you wait on hold?  Are the support calls free?
