Kosta Ouzas says human judgment belongs in system design, not execution. Once a trading system runs live, any discretionary interference turns it into a suggestion that fails under pressure. Automation and strict rules make performance repeatable, which compounds an account over time.
Human judgment, it is valuable. We use it every single day, but human execution is not. Judgment belongs at the design phase—choosing the market, choosing the asset, defining risk parameters, structuring logic, stress testing assumptions—and then once execution begins, human input, it should absolutely end. A system that allows discretionary interference during trades is not a system, it's a suggestion, and suggestions completely fall apart under pressure. So when execution is automated and rule-bound, something remarkable starts to happen, and you'd see it yourself in your own trading account, is that performance becomes repeatable, just like in that trade that I showed you and the screenshot that we've already seen. It's repeatable, and repeatable performance is the only thing that's going to compound your account over and over again.
