When most traders reference trading bots, they refer to algorithmic trading solutions, which handle 80%+ of Forex trading volumes and 70% plus of equity trading. Among the most popular are expert advisors or EAs, native to the MT4 trading platform, the leading algorithmic Forex trading platform, but are trading bots for trading cryptocurrencies (cryptorobotics.ai) legal? The short answer is yes, but exceptions apply, and some brokers or markets apply restrictions. There is also a grey area when it comes to AI-assisted trading bots. Trading bots in financial markets are not only legal, but they dominate trading activity, handle the bulk of research, and operate 100% autonomously without human interference.
