It depends on what your definition of good/bad and expensive/not expensive is.

Re: Is 100% Mechanical Trading Possible?
The question was - would you recommend it or not. Not very complicated isnt it?

And how would that help you? You don't know me and you have no idea what my goals and requirements are and they could be vastly different than yours. Something that are useless and expensive for me, could be good and cheap for you.

When asking for recommendations about something, the mimimum you could do is defining your requirements and what you are looking for from it.

Would you buy a Porsche 911 because someone you don't know from Adam told you that he recommends it, even though you live in the middle of a jungle where roads barely exist and you are looking for something that can handle rough terrains and lots of muddy areas, but you didn't tell him that?

Re: Is 100% Mechanical Trading Possible?
Reddit had an AMA (ask me anything) session with a 100% automated retail trader last week. He stated his credentials as:

"I used to work as a software engineer and started developing and trading automated strategies in my spare time in 2006. I went full time in 2007 and have been profitable every quarter since."

ALthough I know next to nothing about automated trading, I found his answers to questions most interesting. Here's the link, and the meat comes deeper into the questions (once you get past some of the fluff).

IAMA 100% automated independent retail trader. I trade around 800k to 1.5 million shares a day and make 2cents/trade on average. AMAA : IAmA
