Automated ECN Trading

Everybody likes to throw around numbers on the '90% of traders fail' subject, but in reality, none of them know, I doubt if anybody has accurate statistics on the subject. Your only guide in this business is logic, it either works or it doesn't, you ...

Automated trading, will your broker even allow them if they are succesful?

I know of several people that trade automated, I don't know the details of the systems however. I do know that they all take different approaches, and what I do is a blend of some of those ideas + other stuff. These people are not to keen on parting ...
