Some very brief responses: 1) If a pattern or mathematical relationship or market structure repeats based on past historical context, please help me understand why there is such a high rate of failure across retail algo traders. Every algo based on a pinbar or a 123 pattern or whatever should make millions based on how appealing they look when we scroll the chart backwards :-
Your eye only sees the good entries when the conditions are met, but the algo sees all occurrences when the conditions are met.2) What is the root cause of algos to stop working after a while if they are based on such proven statistical edges?
Because the market is dynamic and the algo is rigid.3) How long and how often should an edge have a repeatable and statistical frequency for it to be considered a robust edge?
A repeatable edge could end at any time.At a holistic level, what gives us confidence that a strategy would succeed?
An autotrading strategy will always eventually fail, so the confidence of success is to use its signals with discretion, not with automation.
