    Ok so do you mean you buy SPY blindly and you never close the position?

    Technically speaking, I wouldn't buy the market until it hits the first support line

    Good grief. So the past 11 years was not a sign you should get back in long, simply because it did not hit your second support line? That is nuts.

    Jan 2016 was not a sign? You sound like me, in a way. We have to disbelieve what we believe.

Algo-trading can be backtested using available historical and real-time data to see if it is a viable trading strategy. Reduced possibility of mistakes by human traders based on emotional and psychological factors.
