  • benstr/moneybot

    MoneyBot is a web app created by Ben Strahan for Forex trading. It analyzes the daily percent change of Forex currency pairs and suggests the top 10 pairs to trade. The strategy involves identifying the strongest and weakest currencies each Monday and selecting 2 pairs from different timeframes. Trades are placed with specific parameters, such as units being 20% of cash balance and no stop loss. The system focuses on maintaining trades based on predicted movements, adjusting take profit levels, and placing orders at support and resistance lines. Important notes include using Oanda as a broker, starting with a practice account, and avoiding losses and greed. Advanced methods are suggested for experienced traders to increase earning potential.
