I set up an automated trading system, and honestly, it has saved me a lot of trouble. The biggest takeaway is—never let human emotions interfere; when the indicator signals, you must act.
I used to try to manually adjust, but it often resulted in unrealized gains turning into unrealized losses. Once, I didn't close a long position properly, and the system automatically entered a new one. In the end, I could only close it with a take-profit order or by opening a reverse short position. That made me realize that manual intervention can sometimes be a trap.
So I decided to just rely on the indicator and leave the manual closing function aside, which made my mindset much more relaxed.
Here's a real example: Around 12:00 noon on January 13th, the system detected a long signal and automatically opened a long position near 3116. By around 6:00 a.m. on January 14th, the long position was closed, and the price had moved to 3233. The entire process was without manual intervention, netting a profit of 120 points.
This is the beauty of automation—no need to watch the market constantly, the indicator keeps an eye for you, and take-profit and stop-loss are clear. As long as the logic is correct, the system will execute for you.

120 points and you're happy? I feel like that's just the beginning, and when a pullback comes, you'll still suffer losses.
Really, I'm just worried that the automatic system might have a bug—that would be truly disastrous.
It sounds good, but the key is that the indicator itself must not be garbage. A trash strategy executing automatically is pointless.
Trusting the indicator is more reassuring, but I still get itchy and want to manually adjust it.
Such a lucky example of 120 points—what if there's a string of failures?
Automation sounds great, but in practice, you still need to keep an eye on it. I've yet to see anyone truly make money with their eyes closed.
Indicators don't lie? Haha, they deceive me every day.

120 points are satisfying, but I think the real test is still ahead; the system can't outlast the black swan.

Earning these 120 points in the system is pretty good, but I'm just worried that once the backtest looks good, the live trading might turn sour. Have your logic gone through several bear market tests?

Really, manual trading always underperforms; it's better to let the system run.
A 120-point gain... Hey, it's quite stable, and the key is that my sleep quality is off the charts.
Do you believe in the indicators? I'm being honest, I'm also pondering this.
Automation is great, but I'm just worried that the system might malfunction someday.

Automated trading, to put it simply, is about being ruthless and letting the system take over.
Machines won't be greedy, which is a huge advantage over us.
