I may get laughed out of the park for the following anecdote, but playing MMO markets for the last few decades has convinced me this is true. Take any given item to be a stock; and looking at the market trends as "Reading the charts" and you quickly realize that your mental heuristics that may be provably very successful are MUCH more difficult to put into algorithm. I came to this realization recently when I tried to put code to the logic that had earned me 10s of thousands in Guild Wars 2 and found it a far stretch from enumerating the same list of "trades to make" that I would come up with manually, even when I felt I enumerated all of my heuristics. Long story short, the brain is a ridiculous tool; I can't wait until we understand it better.
