What I mean is, say, the news events that throw all your charts and indicators into a tizzy. Stops get hit or, worse, don't fill and you have to manually exit out of a loser. Been there, done that.
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
You post this as if a 100% discretionary trader doesn't also have to beat GS.
You either trade a rules based system or you trade randomly.
If you trade based on rules these can be automated.
It is really more a question of the cost of putting all these rules to code because it really doesn't matter if your brain or a computer executes the rules. The rules/strategy are what ultimately matter. If the rules only work on one instrument you don't gain much at all by automation.
Not to mention there is the entire space of "quantamental" now to try to use the best of both worlds.
I am looking for topics on automated trading. There was a large yes response to this poll. What kind of topics would y'all like to see in future webinars?
High and Low of a day is never subjective.So first thing to start is to realize that everything between the point A (High or Low) and the point B (High or Low) - is the Brownian motion.Starting from there and using wide enough stops should make it.
Trading: Primarily Energy but also a little Equities, Fixed Income, Metals and Crypto.

There's a lot of very good webinars out there already that cover most of the basics, hence my suggestions are all on the advanced to very advanced scale.
Portfolio level system design, testing and optimization rather than individual systems for single markets
Genetic Optimization Techniques
Walkforward backtesting - and more specifically 'how do you/can you' do walkforward testing for swing systems where trades can cross over walkforward periods.
Execution Algorithms (ie not "buy next bar at market")
