The Old Way Is Breaking Down Manual trading made sense when markets moved slowly enough for humans to keep up. That world no longer exists. Forex markets process over $7 trillion in daily volume. Crypto trades around the clock across hundreds of exchanges. Stock prices react to news in milliseconds.

The traders who thrived in this environment were either exceptionally disciplined o
