Hey patrons of big mikes, have a question for those who have created automated strategies for trading futures. I have been trading for about 10 years have had good and bad years. My current work situation limits my ability to be in front of the screen for as long as i would like. I have a strategy i want coded into an auto trader. I have to pay someone to code it, in your experience do trading strategies transfer from discretionary to auto very easily? I know this sounds pretty ambiguous but i want REAL EXPERIENCE from real people at mikes to give there advice as this will cost real money to have done. Do people actually create automated strategies that make money or is it a fiction perpetrated by the powers that be?
