> "Automated trading systems will follow their coded logic regardless of outcome," Of course, so will humans. They won't make the absurd trades referred to, but a system of trading humans can still, say, get stuck in a positive feedback loop. Of course, they aren't pure trading algorithm, so they may notice the problem, but actually putting a stop to it requires coordination and is hard. Mostly the loop just occurs more slowly.
