united46 is an unknown quantity at this point
Auto

I've said it before and I'll say it again. People don't trust computers to fly planes. Sure, the plane goes on autopliot. But if I was sat on a plane waiting to take off and was told that no pilot was there ( human being) and that a computer was going to fly me from a to b, I'd be straight out of my seat.

I don't deny at all that a computer can/does do this.

But what if it all goes wrong. Watching all these documentaries on air crash investigations lets me know that there have been numerous occasions that a failure has occured and the only reason people survived was pilot skill.

An auto trend following system would have worked well in 2003 but would have been a much poorer bet in 2004.

All the best to all traders here, regardless of the system they use.
