Thank you Mike for your video. There is still something I don’t understand. I’m asking you because I’m the worse person with computers, but ironically the computer makes my living. What is exactly automated trading? Programming so the computer will take the trades automatically? Creating filters for good trade set ups and then you manually (automatic) take the trade?
Thank you
Automated trading is computers buying and selling that you have developed from usually backtesting and forward testing.
