I studied Biology, (Neuro)Physiology and Informatics. I'm a passionate computer programmer (C, C++, Java, Tcl/Tk, Python), only my English is bad :-(
Therefore it is quite natural for me to trade with mechanical systems, especially with self-written expert advisors. Simply because I feel comfortable with these methods. Much better than discretionary trading (for me).
I do not like "black boxes", ie those indicators and expert advisors whose functionality and algorithms I do not know in detail. It is crucial for me to understand each step, each decision and each action in trading without any exception.
