A Forex Expert Advisor (EA) is a specially designed software program that can carry out trading functions automatically. It can notify traders of opportunities, suggest trades, and even execute trades on their behalf.
Expert Advisors are programmed using MetaQuotes Language (MQL) and run on the MetaTrader platform, which is one of the most widely used platforms for forex trading.
An EA uses mathematical models and trade signals to determine potential entry and exit points for trades, helping traders follow a consistent, rules-based strategy.
