Forex Managed Accounts

Forex Managed Accounts - The Benefits Of Using A Forex Managed AccountRead more:

Whether you are a new trader or an old one, there will be times that you want to sit back and let your money work for you without you having to lift a finger. That's what a Forex managed account is for. The basic idea is simple, you deposit your money in the account, watch it grow, and withdrawal it when you want it. In essence, you don't work with your money; a professional Forex broker is working with it for you.
Much is written about "autopilot" software; this is the true "autopilot" in a sense, although you do have to pay fees and a commission for the trades. The nice thing is it's still your money and you still have a say in what you do with it. You can take over at any time and invest the way you want. When you're not investing it, then it will be invested for you.
If you don't have a large bankroll to invest, this may not be for you. It takes almost $5,000 on average. Each broker is different with their minimum investments. They look at this as collateral and will give the brokers sound mind for doing the work. Now, if you have the bankroll for this service, and feel comfortable to let someone else do the work, then this is the way to go. If not, there are other services and techniques for you.
A lot of people compare the Automated Forex Robots to this service. Traders seem to trust real people over the bots since they have more cognitive abilities and will be creative with the trades. The bots will use time proven algorithms to make the trades, and the returns tend to be lower, but more returns per trade.
No matter what you choose, there is a third party handling your money and you are not in control. There is no research as to whether a Forex managed account works better than a Forex bot. It's more a matter of preference. In essence, you are betting on someone else's ability to trade profitably with your money. In this respect, it isn't too different that the idea of traditional "Full Service" accounts with stock market investment brokerages. Just keep in mind that if one of these brokers or traders was able to reliably manage your money and turn a large profit repeatedly, they would probably quit and spend all their time making themselves rich.
