You can just explore these markets and learn something new every single day. I've spent a lot of time trying to
00:00:07
create a flowchart to understand the logic of some of these bots I'm up against. And if I can predict exactly
00:00:12
what they're going to do, you can generally figure out push up buttons and figure out like a weakness because every
00:00:18
bot has a weakness. uh Jelko who's the most successful better in general I think in the history of the world he
00:00:25
says that the best trader will always be better than the best bot I mean every bot has a weakness and there's logic I
00:00:34
mean they're trying to be human you're trying to program in all the in all your
00:00:37
intuition understanding markets perfectly and inevitably there's cases that come up that you haven't
00:00:43
encountered before and a bot is going to behave in a very predictable manner I think the best bots Actually should have
00:00:50
some randomness.
