Answers to FAQ
General
What is an EA (Expert Advisor)?
Expert Advisors (EAs) render the trading process automatic. This allows traders to capitalize on more opportunities and relieve them from continuously monitoring trading screens. Most institutional and professional traders utilize automated trading systems. EAs are (usually) scripts written in MQL, designed for the Metatrader trading platform. EA’s work 24/5 from the market open to the market close. You don’t have to sit in front of the screen monitoring the trades – the EA lets you set and forget; opening, adjusting and closing positions automatically.
Are FatCat EAs and Indicators compatible with any broker?
Yes, FatCat EAs are compatible with any broker that offers the Metatrader trading platform. Metatrader can be downloaded for free from most brokers’ websites.
