How to discover profitable automation strategies?

[Kai]

I'm the opposite of you Shaun. I always keep hard drive backups but too quick to permanently delete data (especially emails) that I later need.

Manual vs auto init. Your edge is is in your head, mine is in an SSD.

Well put. I keep mine safely stored inside my muscle memory, the body's equivalent of an SSD

Which helps free up the head for more important things! So there's a lot of empty storage space there, just the way I like it

Is there anyone that could point me in the correct direction to back test a lay the football correct score strategy.

I am interested in the strike rate over a period of time/games.

Thanks in advance as always!

I am not excel or program competent.

Cheers

that is a very encouraging list or a door slammer.

Automation is as easy as manual trading.
Automation is as difficult as manual trading.

Delete as applicable.

Directed at the OP - old hands already know what follows

Actually I think the key to automation is all captured in these lyrics (played forward not backwards)

And if you listen very hard
the tune will come to you at last
when all is one and one is all
to be a rock and not to roll

////

And if you listen very hard - poetic licence, listen, watch observe the markets
the tune will come to you at last - you will notice things that you can exploit
when all is one and one is all - they might be quite simple things, you only need one thing (I have one main idea that accounts for 99% of my profits)
to be a rock and not to roll - don't think you need to copy other people

Like it.

How long between from when you noticed things that you can exploit to when you had your profitable bot.

btw I'm at the noticing/building bot stage.
