5. Why the Next Stage of Trading Is Algorithmic Automation

5.1 The AI Context

We now live in a world where:

  • AI reads millions of documents, tweets, and on-chain events per day

  • Market-making and arbitrage are fully automated

  • Price discovery often happens at millisecond timescales

Against this backdrop, retail manual trading is like:

Bringing a bicycle to a Formula 1 race.

To stay competitive, the “average” trader has to leverage machines:

  • Let strategies define the logic

  • Let automation handle execution

  • Let AI tools assist in constructing, testing, and improving these strategies

Perpbot embraces this by:

  • Integrating a custom made AI assistant to help design strategies

  • Converting those strategies into reproducible, automated workflows for Perpbot

  • Connecting them to real capital in a safe, controlled way

5.2 Smart Money & Automation

Institutional players already rely heavily on automation:

  • Automated systems dominate volumes across equities, derivatives, FX, and power markets.

  • In some markets (e.g. Indian F&O for FII and proprietary desks), nearly all profits are generated by algorithmic trading desks.

The takeaway:

“Smart money doesn’t click buttons. It runs systems.”

Perpbot’s mission is to bring that systems-first mindset to Perps + DeFi, but wrapped in a UX that normal humans can actually use.
