around 85% of market activity is now automated

you’re not trading against people anymore

back in 1997

thousands traded on physical floors

pure human vs human

then machines took over

2005 → 25%

2010 → 55%

2015 → 65%

2020 → 75%

2022 → 78%

2024 → 82%

2026 → 85%

in two decades

from minority to dominance

if you ignore this shift

you’re just liquidity
