I am obsessed (maybe I shouldn’t be! ) with getting an Auto-System that makes a profit (small profit will do) with acceptable Drawdown on an ongoing basis … aren’t we all after this?

Same here, I want to industrialize ; but how do you choose your asset then as it seems impossible to have an universal strategy? or may be you have found a roughly satisfying one?

I would always try to turn a screener into an Auto-System and then backtest over 100k bars over numerous markets and numerous timeframes and if it did not result in robust profit then my conclusion would that it is shite!

Very interesting indeed; I had not thought out this way as I have screeners to identify signals for buying and other for selling

I am confused when you say … what would be your script then? … after using a screener then surely one can only manual trade your selected stock? So what would we do with a script (code) ??

OR when you say … what would be your script then? … do you mean what would be your next action?? If Yes then I would manual trade it … assuming I had confidence in the screener?

For the case where I trade a specific stock, I want to get totally out of the process of buying and selling and want to let the code (script) enter in position (that I decide) and cut the position; so I was asking which of your SL and TP snipet you were using (thanks a lot for this BTW)

Cheers
