I don't like bots either. If your craps out so does your stop loss and I'm more of a swing trader anyway. (did like 8 trades this year). But I love watching the chart almost every day. You get a feel for it after a while. Sometimes it's like a symphony of algos all playing along each other nicely like an orchestra.
Then one goes off-tune and everything goes wild in one way or another, literally š š š¤£
