Thread: Is discretionary trading dying in front of algorithms?

Thank you for mentioning the importance of the context, most of which are totally ignored.

Do you really think a human can have contextual advantage in such a fast and automated market?

And what do you think of quantitative funds that already combine macro data with execution bots? Don�t they take light years?

Wouldn't we be trying to justify the discretionary approach because it's more "romantic"? Cold data doesn't lie.

Thank you, you opened my eyes to the possibility of using technology without losing the human touch.

Thank you, I needed a balanced vision and not so much fanaticism for a single methodology.

Thank you for showing that discretionary trading can evolve without disappearing.

Thanks for explaining the automated execution, I hadn't considered it.

But don�t you think automating the execution can also lose the �timing� that the trained trader has?

What if AI can interpret context better than us? Wouldn't that be the end of pure discretion?
