It is possibly a greater undertaking than you might imagine. |

This is such a
TRUE statement. However, I would remove the word "possibly"
. In my experience (and others I have talked to) automating a real trading edge correctly is extremely difficult. It can be a real eye opener to the way you actually trade. The big danger when automating is getting off track. When trying to simplify your trading to fit nicely into signals you will discover that your profit will drop dramatically. This will create a tendency to curve fit areas without realizing it which is very dangerous. Over the last six months or so I have carefully traveled down this road of automation (as many of you know). So far my total research, development, and programming has totaled several hundred hours. It has been a very interesting experience to say the least. If you want to bounce some ideas off me feel free to send a message my way. I wish you luck.
