I make profits on something like 95% of my trades when I'm trading manually. I do so because I have a bunch of rules that I stick to... If a market is too 'hot' I don't touch it. If the market turns right when I buy I set my profitable limit and let it sit until the market does eventually flip back around and the trade fills. This ruleset that I stick to is essentially a basic algorithm. An algorithm that could be improved upon vastly by adding on-the-fly TA and sound, complex math (that my brain is too slow to calculate). Those who believe an algo can't reliably make profits trading also believe that humans can't reliably make profits trading since every decision we make is a result of some form of algorithm.
