The holy grail doesn't exist. But by carefully monitoring my automated strategies, I know when to get in or get out, or change them. The only requirement for me is to have volatile stocks . Up or down (as long as they are shortable, which isn't the case for TASR at many brokers). So I'm already preparing automated stragegies for other "interesting" candidates. I'll never trade trade stocks by myself. That takes out all the "classic" risks of fear , gread, overtrading, not cutting losses etc.etc. Well, you all as professional traders, know what I'm talking about.. Good trading TFD
