It's a comment I can easily identify with. Quite a number of years
ago when I first starting looking for a mechanical system, and really
knew *nothing* about them, I thought I had found something great
rather quickly, which has probably happened to many of us. I thought,
well, this is it; I don't have to do anything now except plug this in
and let it trade; my market watching days are basically finished.
I well remember my almost immediate reaction to that "revelation",
too. Somehow, it was a giant letdown, a sense of almost instant
boredom, and even serious regret. No longer would I be profiting from
my own wits, but from some cold, applied set of market behavior rules
that I had happened to chance upon (I hadn't really of course; the
system turned out to be profitable, but way too volatile for me, and
probably for most). But for quite a few days I was in kind of a blue
funk about having "found" a trading system. Fortunately, I hit a
major drawdown rather quickly with that early attempt at trading a
system, and life became interesting again. ^^_^^
