I shouldn't be included as a mechanical trader since I've never traded that way. I've done research to create "straw men" trading models. Then I've traded against the models using my market knowledge.
My third (self-proclaiming) mentor is back in ET!!! All I need now is M. Johnson and I'm set!!!
My mentors (since Chuck's site):

Alan, I have a question... are you open for some "open discussion"?
I've been a fully automated systematic trader for quite sometime and starting to verge into mixing up discretion (empirical common sense from a systematic trader standpoint...).
It's mainly about system management and I would like to hear your thoughts.... seriously... would you mind "writing" about system management in ET?
How about a week back in a particular thread in ET?
