LOL! Wouldnt it be awesome to have some sort of software like that. I work in the IT field and know some coders, so I have some idea of what this kind of program would enatil and to be honest I cant see it being all that hard to do. (I could be wrong but some of the software we use is much more complicated than what Im imagining)
You set the software to understand site like American Bulls "buy confirm" or "sell" signs
Once these signals are triggered it looks at the days price and stores that info to sell or buy the stock
It goes to whatever website you use to interact with your brokerage account
It takes the preset username and password and logs in
It then has already been coded to make buy or sells in your account by knowing what fields to fill in and when to hit the enter key, and then makes the trade set at a "limit" to buy or sell within whatever % points you program the software for.
And then goes back to American Bulls for the next sell or buy sign to repeat process all over again.
So you take 10-20grand. Find 10 stocks that are good swing trades, (these stocks can usually be found at some of the stock forums) ..KATX is an awesome swing-trade stock...and then take 10% of your principal for each stock pick, and use that as the start-up principal and then let the system run itself.
Granted, the software would have to be tweaked a bit, for instance if your loses on a particular stock exceeded a set limit you tell it to stop trading and send you an alert. Imagine if you let that run for a year just to see what happens. My true belief is that the best traders are the ones who dont trade on emotion and know when to get out and not try to hit the home run. Kills you everytime.
