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.
