Joseph Plazo’s TEDx presentation didn’t just educate—it shattered illusions about who (or what) actually moves markets today.
Joseph Plazo emphasized that algorithmic trading isn’t the future—it’s the present, and has been for years.
Goodbye Human Traders
He pointed out that while humans still “monitor,” algorithms now act.
2. Why Institutions Chose Algorithms
He summed it up elegantly: “Institutions don’t trust humans to protect capital. They trust math.”
How Code Became the Market’s Nervous System
He described how these systems now manage everything from order execution to risk balancing—often website with zero human intervention.
The Uncomfortable Truth Plazo Exposed
Yet, he also offered hope: humans can win—not by being faster, but by understanding how these systems think, move, and rebalance.
The Final Truth Joseph Plazo Left Behind
As Joseph Plazo concluded, he left the crowd with a message that resonated long after the applause faded:
“Human intuition isn’t dead. But in today’s markets, intuition must be paired with algorithmic understanding—or it will be crushed by it.”
His TEDx talk didn’t just explain the last decade of change—it armed the public with the truth behind modern trading.
And for many, it was the wake-up call they never saw coming.
