How Joseph Plazo Exposed a Decade of Algorithmic Takeover at TEDx

Joseph Plazo’s TEDx presentation didn’t just educate—it shattered illusions about who (or what) actually moves markets today.

Representing Plazo Sullivan Roche Capital’s research depth, Plazo explained that the shift wasn’t sudden—it was systemic, engineered by a decade of algorithmic evolution.

The Silent Extinction of Manual Trading

He explained that the traditional trader—the one analyzing charts and making judgment calls—has been replaced by execution models capable of scanning millions of data points in microseconds.

The Real Reason Humans Were Removed

Algorithms don’t panic. They don’t second-guess. They execute exactly as coded.

From Simple Bots to Market-Shaping Systems

Plazo highlighted how algorithms evolved from simple automated tools into entire ecosystems capable of liquidity discovery, sentiment analysis, arbitrage, and predictive modeling.

4. Retail Traders Are Competing With Supercomputers

Plazo didn’t sugarcoat it. Retail traders today unknowingly compete with AI-enhanced supercomputers that see liquidity, volume, and structure at a depth no human can.

5. The TEDx Message That Hit Hard

As Joseph Plazo concluded, he left the crowd with a message that resonated long after the applause faded:
“Human intuition isn’t dead. But in today’s markets, intuition must be paired with algorithmic understanding—or it will be crushed by it.”

His TEDx talk didn’t just explain the last more info decade of change—it armed the public with the truth behind modern trading.
And for many, it was the wake-up call they never saw coming.
