Types of trading robots

A trading robot is a common name for all the trading assistants. There are two main types of them:

• The advisors are helpers, which do all the work instead of a trader. They open and close transactions at a favorable time. You can only get profits.

Trading with the help of advisors is much easier. However, if you want to understand the essence of trading and the technical analysis of the market, you need to use indicators.
