What difficulties to automate a trading strategy?

To automate your trading you are one of two: a programmer or a trader that seeks for a programmer to write his system. If you are a programmer it'll not be a problem except you have to be a very good programmer to avoid any bugs in your code and logic.

If you are a trader that seeks a programmer to help, the main problem that you will face and the programmer as well is: How to put in words your manual trading practice? I advice you:

1. Write as much detail as you can for your programmer!
2. Try to have a basic concept about programming in general that helps you to describe your system logically.
3. You have to know your system from the beginning. I've met a lot of clients who have asked me to write their systems, but when we start I discover that they know nothing about their systems!

In my opinion any manual FOREX trading practice you have can be programmed in MQL4 into an automated trading system (Expert Advisor)! Yes!

Just tell me exactly how do you manually trading in much details as you can and I'll give you back an Expert Advisor that trades for you and protects your trading plan from the emotional reactions "Plan your trade and trade your plan!".
