Automated Trading

Everyone automates because they want speed. I automated because I kept missing my own signals. I'd be in a meeting, or I'd talk myself out of an entry that…

Nobody warns you about this part. I automated to get my day back, and then spent the recovered hours watching the same screens I'd been freed from, just wi…
