Q: Do I need a computer to trade?
A: You cannot beat the markets by outsmarting them or other traders. Computers can make your analytical life easier, but successful methods are simple enough to apply without using a computer. Computers' real value, in my opinion, is their ability to help you test trading ideas historically. Most trading methods, even popular ones, do not work when put to a rigorous test. This is one of the great unspoken reasons why so many traders fail.
