Most trading bots fail for the same reason most traders fail. They are built on flawed assumptions.
Curve-fitted backtests. Over-optimized parameters. Logic that only works in one market condition. Risk models that collapse under volatility.
Software does not fix strategy. It exposes it.
Automation magnifies both strength and weakness. A weak idea executed perfectly still fails. A strong idea executed inconsistently also fails.
Successful algorithms are built on behavior, not patterns. They are designed to survive regime changes, not maximize short-term performance.
The question is not “does it work in backtests.”
The question is “does it survive reality.”
