I think it's important to highlight to everyone what automated trading means. If you think you can launch the bot and take two weeks of holiday you are (partly) wrong. An automated bot is aimed to executed your strategy in a timely manner, at specific events. When the market moves, you may have to review your strategy and implement it in the bot. It's a skill which gives you speed in execution and analysis but not a solution if you have no strategy.

This is why it's not useful that much to share about previous results as it can vary a lot in function of the rules you will implement, the present market etc. With the rules I used (and the ones still coded in this bot) I realized 0.5% a day in July as mentioned in the OP.

Hope it helps ;-)
