Yesterday I received an email from Martin at Forex Auto Scalper recommending that I take a look at a new Mechanical Trading System known as the Robin Hood Mechanical Forex System.

I was going to pass over this 'opportunity' to be honest but as it wasn't going to cost me anything I decided to take a look.

You get a 70 page pdf explaining how the system works and what you need to operate it. There are also two videos that accompany the package so I spent the last day or so getting familiar with the contents.

I found everything to be straightforward and easy to understand so I am trialling on a demo account to see how things go. From what I've read and seen this is somewhat of a scalping strategy so don't expect massive pip gains time after time. It seems that the strategy is to make small gains on a regular basis whilst ensuring that there is a sensible money management regime in place if things go against you.

As it's early days I can't say one way or the other as to the viability of the system but as it is mechanical it does have the advantage of taking emotion out of the decision making which is attractive to me.

One potential disadvantage that I can see is that trades may take some time to work through so once it is entered you would need to keep a close eye on it for closing. The system author, Daniel Malaby, sounds sincere and is keen to make sure that users of the system understand and apply the rules in terms of trading and money management. So, if you'd like to give the Robin Hood Mechanical Forex System a try then the free download is still available.
