Automated trading is not just a trendy fad, but an evolution of trading. That's why it is objectively better than manual approaches in most cases:
5 reasons why algorithms win
1. Speed and accuracy
Bots react in milliseconds — a person can't keep up.
Eliminates "shaky hands" — trades are executed strictly according to plan.
2. Round-the-clock operation without fatigue
The market doesn't sleep — bots don't either.
They are not dependent on your mood, sleep, or vacation.
3. Mathematical discipline
No "What if it rises more?" or "I'll close early, I'm scared."
Clear risk management: no emotional losses.
4. Multitasking
One bot can trade simultaneously on different pairs.
A person is physically unable to effectively control that much data.
5. Backtesting and optimization
You can test the strategy on 10 years of history before real use.
Constant adaptation to the market — manual traders often get stuck in outdated patterns.
⚠️ When is manual trading still needed?
Extreme market conditions (e.g., the FTX crash or news from regulators).
Working with low-liquidity assets where a "manual" approach is needed.
Long-term investments require fundamental analysis more than speed. Buying BTC during a dip is not and will not be a mistake.
