I have been trading for over 20 years. I just started trading futures last Sept. and lost. I am too emotional trading manually. In Jan. I started working in the simulator on Auto Trading. Like you said great success in BT, but died in real-time. I has great success with
range bars, but same results live. Non of my systems work without % Trailing.
Do I just give up? Any suggestions? Back to options? Thanks for the comment it is the first real help I have received. TS techs are great at the platform, but I did not find one who seemed to know Auto Trading.

I have written my own strategies that I have running on TradeStation that trade automatically.
I have looked at several from the App store. Most of them I would not trade with my money.
I did try one called Star ES. It had a pretty good performance report not spectacular but good. I traded it live last summer and according to the author I managed to trade it during the worst draw down. I stopped trading it and was able to track it for a few more weeks and it did not get any better.
If you are able to look at the performance report from Larry, I would ensure you have appropriate
slippage , commissions and set the flag to trade through the price to get a fill. If it sill looks good, I would like to see it sim trade for a few weeks. When I last looked at his system he only allows for a few days to trial or not trail at all. I personally did want to trade something I could not see working in a sim account first and prior to paying any fees. Also, if I remember correctly his stop loss for each trade was rather large.
If you move forward, please post back, I would be very interested in your experiencing.
