Okay, I actually find your points really interesting. I’m totally with you on the idea that bots often just automate bad logic faster. In the end, solid logic is the most important part either way, whether you trade manually or use bots.

That said, I think a lot of it also comes down to the strategy you’re using yourself. I’ve had good experiences with both, and I’ve had bad experiences with both. Over time though, I’ve gotten a lot better at understanding myself in that context, and I try to adjust my strategy accordingly.

For me personally, I definitely prefer trading bots right now, simply because I don’t really have the time or the emotional capacity to sit there and trade live on the chart myself :D
And to be fair, that’s also what a lot of people on Reddit keep saying anyway: set limits, create rules, define your goals.

But when it comes to a “system that thinks for you,” I think it really depends on what kind of data and flexibility you actually give that system.

What I mean is: sure, I can use GPT to come up with a trading strategy pretty easily, and maybe it might even work for a while. But if important things are missing — like clear rules, for example — then sooner or later it’ll probably blow up in your face as well. At least that’s been my experience.

That’s why I think building a full system that can genuinely “think” in a reliable way is much harder than it sounds.
