How It Works
 

OEC has multiple partners with automated system trading offerings, and each partner has numerous strategies to choose from. We encourage you to plan your approach and narrow down the many strategies available to you so the selection process is easier and more likely to meet your investment goals.

Prepare

 

What is your goal for using a trading system? You need to ask your self a few questions in order to find out what trading system is the right fit for you.

  • What markets or assets do I want to trade?

  • What is my available capital?

  • How much risk do I want to take?

  • Is the system rated favorably?
  • Is the performance of the system in line with my goals?

Search and Research

 

Each system trading provider offers ways to filter and refine your results. Use those filters to narrow down your options.

Once you feel confident about the search results and have narrowed down the candidates read the available information for each system and try taking notes in order to compare the systems with each other as well as against your trading goals and requirements.

Sign-Up

 

Once you've found the system that is right for you it's time to sign-up. Depending on the provider you've selected, the process will vary slightly.

Instructions:

If you need to ask questions about this process or have issues with signing-up don't hesitate to contact us.
