    Hi JSSPMK,
    In my last PM, I told you about an automatic system based on MACD, I know you use this indicator a lot so do you think that there is potential for a system to be profitable using only this indicator ?
    Thanks
    Have a good day all dax traders !

    You have to ask a programmer, my amateur opinion is that it is possible, but than again a lot of things are possible, whether they are achievable is a different matter. The reason I prefer manual approach is for my inability to achieve the following in an automated environment:

    1. I can't trust a software program to run my money, what if it crashes whilst you have open position/s and market reverses in a big way? Manually I have at least a chance of getting in touch with broker on the phone;

    2. Anyhow, I have no programming skills & I don't want to pay anybody to get it done for me;

    3. I still pick and choose between set-ups and do get confused sometimes, so how can I put all my thoughts across to a program?

    4. Even though it is automated, I can still see myself always worrying 'What if?', so wouldn't be interested in increased stress levels;

    5. How would I program data release times? Surely you would want to skip those times? Would you be programming them in daily?

    Just some random thoughts.

    I have a feeling price will keep going up today, not trailing last turd just yet, stop still at entry.
