Automated day trading is actually done by a computer and a software. Here the trading can be partially automatic wherein the entries are handled by the computer but it is a person who will manage the trading and decide when to exit. Then there is completely automatic day trading where all the aspects of trading - entries, management and exit - are handled by the computer itself.
Automatic day trading is perfect for those traders who do not have sufficient money management knowledge and/or cannot handle their emotions. Remember, day trading can be highly emotional as you would have to take constant risks and handle entries and exits. Therefore, you always have to be alert and active. This is where an automated day trading system can help you. It does all the work for you and you can just relax without any pressure.
However, there is a downside to automated day trading systems. Most systems are designed for specific market conditions. And, we know that no market condition is stable. Some days the market will show a trend and on others it will be highly volatile. Therefore, most systems will not be able to react to these changes. This means that there is a risk of losing a lot of money before the system decides to exit, or you may actually have to shut down the system yourself.
Therefore, before you decide to use an automated day trading system, it is best test it extensively to see whether it is able to perform up to your expectations in different market scenarios. Only then you should start using it actively.
