Technically, the term Forex "trading system" refers to a computerized or automated trading system. Although you'll often hear people saying that they have a "system" for trading, in reality they mean they have a trading "method."
Computerized and automated tools have their place in Forex trading. Specifically, these are tools like automated trading platforms, such as GFT's DealBook 360, which allow you to place orders and track your performance automatically in near real time.
The dark side of "trading systems" are the programs that purport to tell you exactly when to place your order, or do it for you automatically. These black-box programs hurt traders by removing judgment and discernment, and making traders lazy as they learn to rely on their magic "systems" rather than their market knowledge and good judgment. The reality is that the best traders rely on basic indicators and proven trading strategies to guide their trading activity. After all, if these computerized "trading systems" really worked, everyone would be using them and trading successfully.
