This has probably been brought up before, but I was just curious and wanted to get an idea for where people's minds are in with this particular topic.
QUESTION:
Do EA's (or automated systems generally ) have the ability to become turned on, forgotten about, and make you a fortune in the procedure.
A show of hands please, and the rationale behind it. I will start it off -
NO, because if markets detract from their mathematical nature, they do so in such a manner that EA's (strictly mathematical in nature) get squashed. I am specifically speaking about EA's that place on single trades with a large lot load. I am not talking about having a Grid, or Martingale kind of EA in which you have $100K account... and you are buying Micro's. I am talking about the guy who puts in $500 to a live mini account, needs to leave his computer on all day while he is in his 9 to 5, and come home to a 3% equity increase on his account balance.... You understand the normal FF newbie
Ok... now lets get a few numbers on the board.
