Automation Boundaries
What automation can and cannot do in a Turtle-style trading workflow.
Automation can support a rule-based process, but it should not be confused with judgment, risk control or investment advice.
What automation can do
- calculate channels and ATR;
- detect potential signals;
- remind the trader of rules;
- record journal fields;
- reduce manual checking errors;
- keep a consistent watchlist.
What automation cannot do
Automation cannot guarantee execution, fix bad data, decide personal risk tolerance, remove slippage or prove that a system will work in the future.
A clean boundary
Treat automation as a workflow assistant. The strategy rules, risk budget, market eligibility and review process still need human ownership.
