How do (did) you cope with increased stress level? Trading futures, especially in a an automated way, can easily drain your margin unless the algorithm is really well tested for edge cases.

My automated program was much less stressful than trading manually. The best was going to Hawaii, waking up, and having the entire day done. I was making like 6k every day on that vacation. The best!! :)
