I even know some who are not so new in Forex and yet, find it difficult to use. The bottom line is, Robots can be a good way to ease the load of trading but it is mainly ideal for the experienced.

Yes, though the word perfection is a word far from reality, I think the thread starter meant a good trader. Well, I think that even the general saying that practice makes perfect has a role to play here. One of the ways to attain that feat is by constant learning, practicing and trading.
