Maybe being on the human side 🙂
Humans have emotions, bots don't.
This can be a positive point for humans if they understand how to control emotions and use them to their advantage. This is very hard, though! That is why emotions are bad things in general.
So, keep a record of your decisions during emotional moments then do the opposite of what you would normally do! Don't laugh it is hard but I tried and it works.
Humans are not so good at following rules, bots are.
But again see the full half. Even the best trading strategies need some adjustments considering the current market situation. I have explained these in portfolio management systems like the Core Sattelite portfolio system.
This is why bots' profitability will decrease over time if no one supervises their programs.
Bots can handle many positions
Sorry humans! I can not defend you here.
Bots can work 24/7
Sorry humans! I can not defend you here.
Bots do not have friends and relatives who marry, give birth, become dads, pass away, etc
Sorry humans! I can not defend you here.
But wait a minute. This is not only my job, this is also my hobby!
So, humans go and satisfy your hobbies.
