I agree.Quote from jason_l:
nono: maybe this was lost in my ramblings, but my point was that coding the software is not the issue nor the holy grail to profitable trading - figuring out WHAT to code, ie your edge, is the biggest issue. next up is coding the execution platform, etc.. last and least significant is coding the indicators and rules to your system(s). From some of the questions I saw being asked, I wanted people to realize that there's no magic to the coding or automating ideas. The REAL hurdle is coming up with a profitable strategy(s). I wasn't attempting to minimalize the effort of developing a profitable automated solution as a whole, but rather trying to impress on people that coding the indicators, etc, is really a non-issue in big picture. One should not think "if I could only get my own 'black box' coded up, I'd make some real money!".. Otherwise, every programmer would be rich![]()
