My trading machine code name "The Beast".

Robo trader will begin production shortly. I bet you are wondering, “What the hell is a robo trader?”. Robo trader will be my own personal trading assistant. What began as an idea has now developed into something more. I am in the process of building my first automated trading system. This will be the start of  what will eventually become a high performance computer system who’s sole function will be running software that I will develop to maximize trading profits with unique strategies that exploit arbitrage in markets.

Some books to help me on the way.
