Automation doesn't fix a strategy, it just applies it faster
Recurring pattern here: someone has a discretionary approach that loses slowly, automates it, and is surprised when it loses faster.
The computer removes hesitation. If hesitation was accidentally saving you. You skipped the worst setups because they felt bad, then automating removes that too, and now you take all of them.
Worth asking honestly before you automate: is my edge in the rules, or in the trades I quietly don't take? If it's the second one, write down why you skip them, or you're about to find out what your rules actually say.
