Two Ways In Which An Automated Stock Analysis System Beats Human Managed Funds
There is an argument to made that we, here, in the shadow of the dawn of the 21st
century are somewhat spoiled with the level of technological innovation that we enjoy on a daily basis. The fact is that, while there are numerous wonders that abound in every aspect of our society now, the human factor is still an important component, but it must merely take on a different role. The same was true for factory workers during the industrial revolution. Automation still required human involvement, just in a very different (and arguably more beneficial) way.With stock market investing, the growing use of automated stock market trading programs has brought the necessity of human management and brokering in question, as many experts and pundits are now uncertain as to the future of human managed investing.
And the facts speak for themselves. Automated stock analysis and trading software has far outperformed human managed and brokered portfolios and funds during the past decade, and with the continuing perfection of the software itself, this gap is expected to grow substantially.
There are a number of reasons that automated stock trading programs provide a superior platform for market analysis and counsel. First and foremost is the elimination of human error from the equation. A dedicated algorithm that bases its analysis on predetermined axioms can accurately and dispassionately reason what the totality of the market is going to be going forward, without worrying about its win-loss record, or the fear of missing a great opportunity or of loosing big money. The automated software is able to remove all emotion, and thereby knee-jerk, risky overreactions, from the process altogether.
And, aside from human error, stock trading programs are able to take advantage of two other things that human managed and analyzed systems simply cannot.
They Can Compile A Wider Breadth Of Data
Automated systems can easily scan through and accurately analyze a much wider breadth of data than a human fund manager can, and an automated system never tires. It is able to analyze data at the same rate, with the same level of effectiveness after 20 hours as it does in its first hour. A human managed broker cannot say the same for his or her abilities at all.
They Can Perform Painstaking Analysis
And, aside from sifting through large amounts of data, they can analyze it at a far faster and more thorough rate than a human broker or trading fund manager can.
