Lol... automation has it's place, especially for the hft firms where manual isn't quite an option - similar to how an axe and chisel isn't an option for Intel when they etch their processors. I bet you've used a blackbox at some point, or do right now!
At least backtest, opto, mc and resilience test systems...Quote from tenthousandmen:

I do the same thing, as far as discretionary on top of rules developed from tested data (am I sounding somewhat like the OP?Quote from HATEtheRisk:
YEah, but he is not a HFT Firm, is he ?No.
He is just another guy who realizes that automatic systems must fail at some time, because the HFT fuckers only scalp, and the big money is not in scalping, the big dollars are managed manually.
I hate the HFT too, that little thievs lazy ass bastards........
I never used a blackbox. I learned it from the ground up, of course with backtesting - optimzing - real time testing - what else.
But i never ever thought about doing one trade automatically, it makes me sick. Then i would be independent of such an fucking system computer programm - how bad is this, only because i would be to lazy to work out something useful.
Not my way, sorry.
