Automation is a tool, not a shortcut
Trading robots are marketed with smooth equity curves and words like “AI”. Behind the label there is always a rule set or a model, a test on historical data and a choice about how much to risk. Those three things decide outcomes far more than the name on the box.
The guides here explain each piece, show common mistakes, and give you questions to ask of any system you come across.
Three things to remember
1. A backtest is a hypothesis, not a result.
2. Position size matters more than entry signals.
3. If a system promises steady returns without losses, walk away.
