The most terrifying thing about trading is not not understanding the market, but understanding it and still failing.

You can memorize all technical indicators, analyze the candlestick charts until they're worn out, and have a hundred trading insights saved in your social circle — but none of that can be trusted.

Where is the real problem? The moment you sit in front of the screen, eyes fixed on the fluctuating numbers, fingers on the keyboard, you become another person. The original plan, the set stop-loss, the carefully considered entry point... all forgotten.

A fleeting thought crosses your mind, and you change your mind.

When losing, you can't resist the urge to double down; when the market rises, you can't control the desire to chase the high. The most basic mistakes, you repeat over and over. Even after promising to learn from pain and make a vow, the next time the market comes, you fall into the same trap.

This isn't because you're inexperienced, but because human nature is like that — cognition is one thing, execution is another, and there's an insurmountable gap in between.

In contrast, robot strategies have no emotional fluctuations, no luck-based psychology, and no issues with changing decisions on the fly. Set the rules, and they are the rules. No matter how volatile the market, they remain unmoved. Stop-loss when needed, hold positions when required, every step dictated by the program code.

This is why more and more traders are beginning to rely on automation — not to earn more, but to survive longer.
