the best traders I know stare at the screen and you want to have it all and not even stare at it good luck, you will need it and you won't get it.
I stare at the screen eight hours a day. I'm not dreaming of some program that automatically pulls money without supervision. I just know that, if I want to continue in this business into my 30s and beyond, I'll need to get into computer trading. I don't want to be middle-aged and still stuck scalping stocks intraday.
Personally I see manual traders as the buggy whip makers of the current day.

Check out the frostengine thread to see how bot developers are struggling...
