Capitalise.ai FAQs
What is Capitalise.ai?
Capitalise.ai is a leading trading automation platform that enables you to use plain English to automate your trading plans – meaning no coding, no complicated system to learn, and no tech expertise required.
Capitalise.ai is your one-stop shop for following, controlling, and executing trades when linked to your FOREX.com account.
How does Capitalise.ai work?
Capitalise.ai works by enabling you to write ‘if-then’ strategies in plain English. Automating your trading strategies in this way helps you to avoid emotionally-influenced decisions that can undermine your trading plan.
Capitalise.ai also provides back testing against historical data to give you a clearer perspective on market conditions, smart notifications to maximize potential opportunities and better manage risk, and more.
Do I need to be logged into Capitalise.ai for my strategies to run?
No, you do not need to keep the platform open to run your strategy. However, you need to login to your FOREX.com account through Capitalise.ai at least one time every 20 days to ensure your strategy continues to run without interruption.
What are the benefits of automated trading with Capitalise.ai?
There are many benefits to automated trading with Capitalise.ai. The platform watches the market around the clock, even when you can’t, to ensure your trades are executed as soon as the conditions you specified are met. On top of this, algorithms and the machines that execute them don’t have emotions, meaning that they are not prone to impatience, fear, nor greed. Removing emotions from trading decisions can allow for more logical, data-driven trades. They also can respond to market conditions and execute trades much more quickly than humans, in addition to being able to process massive quantities of various data types extremely fast.
Although appealing for a variety of reasons, automated trading systems should not be considered a substitute for carefully executed trading. Technology failures can happen, and as such, these systems do require monitoring. Remember, you should have some trading experience and knowledge before you decide to use automated trading systems and you should understand the risks involved.
