Tell me about your trading.

[Idealism]

Both can work, and both can go bad. Live trading can save you when the market spikes, but it can also tempt you to micromanage and break a good plan. Set and forget keeps you disciplined, but if your entry, stop, or risk is off, you can come back to a nasty surprise. I mostly use set and forget now with a simple plan, then check in at key times instead of staring at every tick.
