FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers about how our services work, what they cost, and the risks involved.

Algorithmic Trading

01How does algorithmic trading work?

Algorithmic trading uses predefined, rule-based strategies — built on technical indicators — to place and manage orders automatically. Our strategies are coded mainly in Python, run on cloud servers, and connect to your MT4/MT5 broker account. Each strategy includes entry rules, exit rules, stop-loss levels and position sizing.

02How is this different from a basic robo-trading bot?

Many off-the-shelf robo bots are generic and some are provided by parties that benefit from higher trading volume. Our approach uses indicator-based strategies developed and refined by analysts, with explicit risk-reward ratios and stop-losses. That said, no approach — algorithmic or otherwise — removes market risk.

Platforms

01Which trading platforms are supported?

We integrate with brokers that offer MetaTrader 4 (MT4) or MetaTrader 5 (MT5). Our team can confirm whether your chosen broker is compatible during onboarding.

Getting Started

01How do I get started?

Choose a plan, complete the KYC process, and connect your MT4/MT5 broker account. You will then receive your access details along with configuration assistance from our team.

02What is the minimum capital required?

You can start with as little as $300 in your broker account, though $500 is recommended. Only trade with money you can afford to lose.

Risk

01How is risk managed?

Every strategy is defined with a risk-reward ratio (for example 1:2) and stop-loss orders, with the aim of keeping drawdowns within roughly 12–15%. This is a design target, not a guarantee — markets can move sharply and losses can exceed expectations.

02Can my capital be wiped out?

Strategies are backtested and use stop-losses, but no trading approach is risk-free. Leveraged trading can result in the loss of some or all of your capital.

03Are profits guaranteed?

No. We do not guarantee profits and we do not offer money-back guarantees. Past or simulated performance is not indicative of future results.

Fees

01What fees apply?

Each plan has a subscription price for its billing period. A broker link fee of $30 per month applies for integration and trading access. The Infinity plan also carries a one-time registration fee. All fees are shown on our pricing page and confirmed before you commit.

02Do you offer a free trial or lifetime subscription?

No. Strategies require continuous research, development, maintenance and broker integration, so we do not offer free trials or lifetime subscriptions.

Account & Funds

01Are you a broker? Who holds my funds?

We are not a broker. You open and fund your own account with a broker of your choice and remain responsible for it. ForexNations never holds client funds.

Availability

01Does the system run 24/7?

Our cloud infrastructure runs around the clock and adapts to the trading hours of each market. Trading only occurs when the relevant market is open.

Privacy

01Do you share my data?

We do not sell client data or share client details, investor passwords or account IDs with third parties, except with service providers under confidentiality obligations or where required by law, as described in our Privacy Policy.

General

01Is Forex trading safe and legal?

Forex and commodity trading are legal in many jurisdictions, and using a regulated broker with sound risk controls helps manage risk. However, regulations differ by country — please check the rules that apply where you live before trading.
