Ok first of all I am glad that I found this forex forum it is by far the best I have seen. I have learned alot already about forex trading (im the guy that can control the maket with a single click of the mouse if I go long it tanks if I short it, it takes off) anyway since this is my first post I figured it would be a good time to get the stupid question out of the way.


What does EA stand for I believe I have a good idea what it is but im not sure what the exact term is.

Thanks

No question is dumb - EA stands for Expert Advisor

An expert Advisor is a auto trading program that runs in Metaqoutes software. Known as MT4

Mt4 is full trading platform with charts and the ability to program your own indicators and also comes with a large list of indicators stock.

There are several brokers that use MT4. The platform is free and if you open a demo account the data feed is also free.

There are several places you can download the software. Generally you get it from the broker site you choose to use. However, you can just open a demo account for the charts and then use your own non mt4 broker.

If you need, I can list several places to down load the software...

Ok thanks for your response I will download MT4 and try it out I also have NinjaTrader (just learning it) but I have not seen anyone talk about it so if I need MT4 to use these EA I guess that the route I will go

Thanks again
