Dislikedmy point on that topic
mechanical trading systems (if A happens do B) are handrails to hold one while starting out in this buisness . well at least thats what they should be.
u have no idea whats going on and thus u want a guidiance wich u can follow along in order to stay alive and make your first steps.. but as u move along u can start to let go the handrail and try walking on your own... this may take while , and u may have createtd new handrails along the way..but as u get more and more knowledge, at some point u can leave the rails alone......Ignored
