Once you get through all the books and courses you might take to learn to trade, it comes down to finding quality ideas in a timely fashion.  Some people subscribe to chat rooms with other traders, some people like to watch real time news, and others like to program computers to scan the market or use a day trading robot to help them find ideas in real time to make money.

One of the key reasons to use a day trading robot is that it applies a set of formulas in exactly the same way every time and is unbiased by outside factors.  The real key is finding a day trading robot that is reliable in its stock picks and is easy to use.  Of course, this is no easy task as there are a lot of imposters out there or more likely, stuff that used to work but no longer does because of changing market conditions that the day trading robot cannot adapt to.

One key component of any day trading robot that should be essential is the ability to find stuff in real time, but give you enough time to actually act on the information it provides.  It does no good to use a day trading robot that scalps something so fast that you cannot even get an order in should you choose to follow what it is doing.You can always choose to let a day trading robot have control of your account, but a lot of traders are uncomfortable with this type of situation and like to keep control.In addition, there are always things each day that require human intervention because a day trading robot is not designed to handle that situation.

Any trader looking to make use of a day trading robot to find ideas should realize the limitiations and use it as a great tool to find additional ideas to trade.  It is unrealistic to expect a trading robot to be 95% right, or that you would turn it on, let it trade your account and miraculously you are earning 40% a month.  I can tell you 100% anyone who has such a tool would never sell it or lease it out - they would be living on a private island off the wealth it creates daily.In order to get the maximum benefit from using a day trading robot, you need to have realistic expectations for performance.
