The next Forex software program to consider is called Prophet1 Expert Advisor for the Metatrader 4.0 trading platform. This program bases its signals on two popular indicators, moving averages and MACD’s. This allows the user to make use of this software for day trading purposes, but it’s certainly not limited to that time frame.
