I'm sure many people have heard about Fx Universal.  They are kind of an all inclusive forex software, broker and signal service.

But if they were known for one thing, it would have to be their signal service called Dashboard FX Pro. It' software that you download to your desktop and scans the market all day for trading opportunities.

It definitely looks impressive when you go tot the FX Universal website, and its a very clever idea.  But the important thing is does it work?  Will you make money using this software, which by the way costs $200 a month.  The answer to that question is a resounding no.

While all the gadgets and creativity are great, there is one big problem with FX Universal.  It just doesn't make good trading calls.

This fact has been widely discussed in most forex circles.  FX Universal has not created the greatest reputation for itself in the forex community.  You can see for yourself in this full FX Universal review.

It doesn't do that much good to be able to get signals called in over 20 currency pairs, if none of them end up being profitable.

Many people have reported that so many of the problems are FX Universal's track record on previous trades.  For instance when you go to their website and you see their history of trades, its quite impressive.

The problem that many people have with the service is that, in live trading those results just don't match up with their record. Many people believe that they showcase the winners and leave out all the losers.  Of course, there are more losers than winners, so you could see where the problem is.

Traders have also commented on the delay at which the signals come in.  Not all the time, but there are instances when the signals sent have already happened.  For instance a buy signal will be sent out for a buy at 1.4727 and a take profit of 1.4765.  The problem is those numbers have already hit and they count them as part of a winning signal in their track record.

Also, many people don't have much nice things to say about their customer service.  There have been lots of complaints of non returning emails, poor customer support over the phone, and lots of other issues on top of that. 

Needless to say, there is enough on here that should make you want to pass on FX Universal.
