The real issue is (more or less) how does a "canned" system meet your
needs? If you are willing to change your view of the markets (ie,
futures, stocks, options, etc.) to be inline with a purchased system,
then so be it. But many times our methods, account size, background,
view of life, risk/reward outlook, single/married, etc. affects how we
trade.
So you purchased a system (you should be able to take it for a test
drive first!) and it seems to be working ok. Do you really trust it.
Can you look under the hood, understand it's trading principles, money
management routine, and max drawdown? If not, then you either to modify
those to meet your needs, or, send it back and ask for your money back.
A good vendor will stand behind his product, and provide your money back
upon return of the product and a demand by you.
I believe that investing is a very hard task. Being an active trader,
either position or day, is even harder. And the hardest task, is to
accept commands from a computer to risk your capital in
buying/selling/exiting positions.
Good luck and good trading,
RCT
