Guys, how safe is the automated trading or robot??

It’s about as safe as sticking your hand in a food disposal and trying to flip the light switch on at the same time. Hopefully you get the right switch. 
Robot’s rarely work and most are ultra curve-fitted to the data set they are tested against. If you have some sort of feeling one does work or that you can create your own that does work then you should test it on a demo for a very long time and see it showing consistent profits.

While I agree with Krugman, hedge fund managers might disagree.
Listening to a recent interview with Mr. Hull, they use backs of computers to find and exploit very small market anomalies and when the anomaly is over another automated tool will bit up the next trades and so on. With banks of expensive high powered computers to run the data and make decisions they can afford it.
