  2. I'm a mechanical swing/position forex trader :)

    but in the poll I listed myself as mechanical.

  3. I've wondered how often mechanical systems are designed for anything shorter than swing or position trading. I have heard of black box algorithms that are designed to catch quick intraday movements or find arbitrage opportunities btwn stock and option prices, but those seem more rare. I'd be curious to find even just one so I could decode their inputs on the tape.
