What is the difference between ROBO and ALGO Trading?
Difference Between ROBO and ALGO Trading
ROBO Trading:
- Risk: Robo trading is considered a very risky trading option compared to algo trading because it works only on certain strategy breakouts.
- Users: It is typically used by average investors to automate their trades, as they often have low investments.
- Operation:
- Runs on a user's computer using platforms like MetaTrader, leading to risks such as capital wipeout.
- Requires a high-end computer, internet connection, or VPS servers.
- In case of power failure or internet issues, there is a risk of capital wipeout as stop loss orders may not trigger.
- Technology:
- Developed on older technologies like C, C#, and C++, which have high latency issues and slippage problems.
- Anyone can create their own robo trading software as it does not require high knowledge or skills.
- Brokerage: Often provided by brokers, allowing multiple trades to increase brokerage fees.
ALGO Trading:
- Execution and Consistency: Algo trading executes defined rules quickly and consistently, which removes discretionary hesitation from the execution step. It does not remove market risk.
- Users: Used by investment groups, investment banking companies, professional traders, institutional investors, and hedge funds. It is complex and suited for experienced traders and institutions.
- Development:
- Developed by companies with years of experience in the market to serve traders, not simply to generate brokerage.
- Utilizes low-latency trade execution within milliseconds.
- Technology:
- Developed on Python, which is the most advanced technology used in financial markets for all types of analysis. Companies like Berkshire Hathaway, BlackRock, and Goldman Sachs use Python-based platforms.
- Requires years of experience and a high skill set to develop.
- Infrastructure:
- Works on cloud servers like AWS, eliminating concerns about internet connection or computer reliability for trading.
- Incorporates multiple strategies coded in Python, providing accurate and high-frequency trades.
In summary, while robo trading is accessible to retail users but carries higher operational risk and technological limitations, algo trading is designed for professional use with advanced technology, lower latency and a more robust infrastructure. This concerns the reliability of execution; it does not reduce market risk, which remains substantial in all trading.

May I know which strategies you guys are giving me?
We have more than 50+ indicator-based strategies that are coded in Python for consistent, low-latency execution. Our CMTs (Chartered Market Technicians) have invested a significant amount of time and resources into developing and backtesting these strategies.
Just as Coca-Cola has a secret formula for their drinks, we also have proprietary trading formulas and trade secrets that we do not disclose. What we can share is the methodology: our strategies are rules-based, backtested, and built around defined risk parameters rather than discretionary judgement.
How many markets does your software support?
Our software supports the following markets:
- Forex: Major currency pairs.
- Comex: Commodities like gold, silver and crude oil.
- US markets: Major US indices, stocks and ETFs.
- Singapore: SGX-listed securities.
- Malaysia: Equities and derivatives on Bursa Malaysia.
- Crypto: The two leading coins, Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).
Which markets you can trade depends on your service plan — see our services for the details. We publish a free daily analysis for every market.
Will it work on fundamental analysis also?
Our algorithmic trading platform is primarily designed to work with technical charts and indicators. However, we have also integrated fundamental news observation into our strategies to enhance accuracy and performance. This combination of technical and fundamental analysis helps us provide more robust and effective trading solutions for our clients.
Will it work 24/7 or only during particular sessions?
Yes, our software operates 24/7 to serve clients around the globe. It is designed to take trades based on your local time and market breakouts, ensuring that trading opportunities are captured continuously, no matter the time of day.
What is the risk and reward ratio?
Our strategies are built on a 1:2 risk and reward structure, meaning the predefined target is set at twice the predefined risk on each position. Every strategy applies defined risk-management rules, including stop loss placement. This describes how positions are structured; it is not a representation of results.
What will be the maximum drawdown?
Drawdown depends entirely on market conditions, your configuration and your broker's terms. Our software includes strict stop loss and trailing stop loss controls to enforce the risk limits you set, but drawdown cannot be predicted or limited to any fixed figure. Backtested results do not reflect live execution conditions and are not indicative of future outcomes.
Is there any chance to wipe out the whole capital?
Our strategies are backtested and designed with strict risk management measures. We use a 1:2 risk and reward structure, and every position carries a stop loss order. If the market moves against a position, the stop loss triggers and closes it within milliseconds. This is designed to protect your capital from large adverse moves and to minimise the risk of a total capital wipeout.
However, no trading system can eliminate risk. Fast markets, price gaps and slippage can cause losses larger than planned, and trading always carries a substantial risk of loss. Please read our risk disclosure.
Getting started & pricing
How can I start my services with you?
You can start your service by choosing any of our service plans. After you pay the service amount, our team will complete your KYC (Know Your Customer) process and agreement. Once that is done, we will provide you with the credentials for accessing the algo trading software.
How much investment do I need to start with?
Our software is compatible with a range of account sizes. Because the appropriate size depends on your chosen plan, your broker's leverage terms and your own risk tolerance, our team will discuss what is suitable for you before onboarding. Please note that trading carries a substantial risk of loss and you should never commit capital you cannot afford to lose.
Are you giving any lifetime subscription?
As technologies are constantly evolving, we need to regularly update and adapt our strategies to align with market movements and to ensure optimal performance. This requires continuous human effort and incurs costs. Therefore, to maintain the highest standards and reduce risks for our clients, we cannot offer a lifetime subscription.
I need a 7-day trial to test your algo platform.
We are a reputed and established company that has conducted extensive research and development for our strategies and products. Unlike many robo software providers that offer free trials but fail to deliver satisfactory results, our primary goal is not to generate brokerage. We are not brokers or IBs; we provide a specialized service that requires significant cost and expertise to develop and maintain.
Additionally, our algorithms are registered with multiple brokers, necessitating API integration for which brokers charge us a fee. Due to these factors, we are unable to offer a 7-day trial. Our commitment to quality and performance means we invest heavily in ensuring our service meets the highest standards, and this level of service cannot be sustained through free trials.
What are the payment options?
You can make the service payment through the following options:
- Direct bank transfer: to the Fino Ways LLC company bank account in the UAE, on an official invoice.
- Crypto: USDT via Binance, to the wallet shown on our payment page.
Only use the details on our official payment page. Finoways never asks for trading deposits, broker passwords or “withdrawal fees”.
Do you provide any guarantee or money-back guarantee?
As we are operating in the financial markets, which involve inherent risks, we do not offer any guarantees or money-back guarantees. We are a licensed company registered in the UAE, where strict norms govern our services. While we are committed to providing well-engineered, rules-based strategies, it is important to understand that financial markets are unpredictable, and all trading carries a substantial risk of loss. Please see our Refund & Cancellation Policy for the terms that apply to your subscription.
Brokers & trading
Which are the brokers your algo supports?
We support all the major brokers providing services across the globe. Our platform is designed to integrate seamlessly with a wide range of brokerage services, ensuring flexibility and convenience for our users regardless of their preferred broker.
Which broker would be good for trading?
Any broker that is registered and regulated by a government authority is a good choice for trading. Here are some reputable brokers you can consider:
- MultiBank
- Exness
- Vantage Global
- XM Global
These brokers are well-regulated and provide a range of services suitable for trading.
Are you a broker? Do I need to deposit money into your bank account?
No, we are not a broker. We are a licensed investment advisory and algo software company registered in the UAE. We charge service fees for our advisory and software services, but we do not handle or deposit any investment money into our bank account. You will make your deposits directly into your trading account with your chosen broker.
Will you share any read-only/investor ID passwords?
We are a licensed company registered in the UAE, and we adhere to strict policies for data privacy and licensing. Our license covers global advisory services and software sales but does not include the provision of read-only passwords from clients.
Additionally, our software connects to any broker based on your investment preferences, and you can also manually manage your trades on the remaining balance. Sharing investor credentials could lead to misunderstandings where any losses from manual trades might be wrongly attributed to the algo. For these reasons, we are unable to provide read-only or investor ID passwords.
Is trading in the Forex market safe?
Trading in the Forex market can be safe if you follow the right practices and work with reputable brokers. Here are some key factors that contribute to a safe trading experience:
Regulated Brokers:
Choose brokers that are registered and regulated by reputable financial authorities. This ensures they adhere to strict regulations and standards for security and fairness.
Risk Management:
Implement effective risk management strategies, such as setting stop-loss orders, using proper leverage, and diversifying your investments, to protect your capital from significant losses.
Transparency:
Ensure that the broker provides clear information about fees, spreads, and trading conditions to avoid unexpected costs and surprises.
Is it legal to trade in the Forex market?
Yes, it is legal to trade in the Forex market, but the legality can vary depending on your country of residence. Here’s a breakdown of what you need to know:
Regulated Markets:
Forex trading is legal in many countries as long as you trade through brokers that are regulated by official financial authorities. These regulations ensure that brokers adhere to standards for fairness, transparency, and security.
Regulations:
Make sure to use a broker that is registered and regulated by a recognized financial authority in your country. For example, in the UAE, brokers must be regulated by the UAE Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) or similar regulatory bodies.
Licenses:
Verify that your chosen broker holds the necessary licenses to operate in your jurisdiction. This ensures that they follow local laws and regulations.
