But that's my point...you're not in front of the screen but your broker is.
Unattended stuff just has too many weak links.
To name a few...
*exchange quote systems go down and you need a backup security to
hedge...will you program that in too?
*internet connection problem
*computer breaks down
*software malfunctions
*bad ticks
*less than favorable prices
*extended power outages
These are all issues where someone has to make decisions on and I'm sure I
left out a few more.
I just can't see the reliability of unattended trading unless the *entire*
system infrastructure is supervised by a human on some level.
