Manual trading vs A.I.
mbzFX does not trade for anyone nor manage any trading account or give any financial advice to anyone
you should consider this a friendly opinion .of my current experience and decide for yourself
Many people have traded stocks or bonds and a few have traded options. Not many have heard of forex or currency trading. It is the single largest market in the world currently trading over 6 trillion a day. It is traded by banks and countries 24 hours a day 6 days a week. When individuals with minimal information try to manually trade this market you can guess the outcome.
Most banks and large traders now employ A.I or artificial intelligence to manage their trading accounts. The markets can move so fast that retail traders could never react to these moves, and in turn they end up being swallowed up by large firms who use A.I.to manage their trading.
A.I. takes years of testing and many educated professionals who know and understand how to write code and consistently update code so it learns from past trades. This A.I. has been actively trading forex since 2009. It has been learning and changing to adapt to ever this ever changing market much faster than humans ever could.
If your looking for an investment that has been paying out very well but really did not know what to consider, you really owe it to yourself to look into a company that uses A.I. to help you maximize your investment.

The mighty algorithmic robots that have dominated global markets over the past decade, and in the process spitting out insane swings in asset prices will probably get even mightier during the next decade.
One end result: Successfully trading the markets will become even tougher for most.
“The whole infrastructure of the market is changing,” said veteran trader and Sevens Report Research founder Tom Essaye on Yahoo Finance’s ‘
Essaye said that “for all of us, especially traders, dealing with this extreme short-term volatility is something we all have to get more used to. And, we have to somehow assimilate that into our trading plans and figure out how we deal with that from a risk management standpoint.”
He added: “The market is getting more volatile in the short-term for no good reason and that could swing you out of trades, which we all know could hurt performance over the longer term.”
Without question, the past decade in the markets has re-written how one approaches putting money to work in the markets.
The rise of algorithmic trading programs has led traders away from past practices of running simple valuation-based scans for overvalued and undervalued markets. Even trolling earnings call transcripts for clues on future earnings, or placing a call to management teams, have become as outdated (for some) as Apple’s first iPhone.
In the place of those seemingly primitive exercises are programs that scan real-time news feeds and trade stocks based on headlines. There’s very little human interaction required here, and in turn it causes scores of crowded trades amplified by the herd mentality of the algos.
As we have learned over the past ten years, those crowded trades could instantly unwind as the machines assess a single new headline.
And of course, there are algos that trigger trades based on tweets from Twitter — as seen in 2019 via the volatile swings in market prices. President Donald Trump’s frequent attacks on the Federal Reserve, or whipsawing expectations of a U.S.-China trade deal, were some of the reasons behind big price swings.
In fact, JP Morgan Chase noted in a September study that the stock market declined slightly on days when Trump tweeted more than 35 times. On days when Trump tweeted fewer than 35 times, stocks often went up.
So in a lot of ways, investors have algos to thank for fueling the market’s volatile herd mentality. And more to Essaye’s point, those in the market that think navigating the algos over the next decade won’t become infinitely tougher are out to lunch.
Trading programs are only likely to get more sophisticated as computer processing power rises, and cloud capabilities strengthen. Meanwhile, the size of the global algorithmic trading market is expected to surge by a compound annual growth rate of 11.1% to $18.8 billion from 2019 to 2024, according to research firm Markets And Markets.
Buckle up, traders.
