While AI-driven charting tools have undoubtedly revolutionized pattern recognition and speed of analysis, this doesn't make traditional technical analysis obsolete—nor does it eliminate the human element in trading.
At its core, commerce exists to fulfill human needs—like food, shelter, and security—not to satisfy algorithms or CPUs.
Buying and selling impulses are deeply human, driven by emotions, instincts, and psychological responses to scarcity, fear, and desire. Historically, financial markets have always been shaped by these human emotions—greed, panic, hope—not just cold data.
AI and computers are powerful tools, but they remain just that: tools. They are extensions of human capability, meant to support decision-making, not replace it. Trading, at its most fundamental level, remains as much an art as it is a science. Relying solely on machines risks overlooking the nuanced, irrational, and often unpredictable nature of human behavior that still moves markets.
