    Hi Guys,

    I am new to this forum, I am former prop trader in Dubai (I was doing market making
    and arbitrage). Now I want to establish 2-3 strategies in the form of automated
    trading, which will be only allowed to trade under specific market conditions.

    My question here is: Does anybody of you have experience with this approach and what do think are the pitfalls of my idea. (I know judging the direction of the market will
    be the hardest part, but except of this what else?)
