YoshidaWell then, Sensei Mura i, please tell us again what exactly system trading is.
Mura iYes. When people hear “system trading,” they often think it means automated trading, but the two are not the same. System trading is a trading style that repeats predefined buy/sell rules over and over.
YoshidaI see. It’s trading that repeats certain rules, then.
Mura iYes. Therefore, if the trading rules are fixed in advance, it can be executed manually or automated with MT4; both can be considered system trading.
However, because the rules are predetermined, automation is certainly easier.
