There's a spectrum of opportunities from high return/high touch/low volume to low return/low touch/high volume. Visualization technologies are a catalyst that helps push things down that spectrum insofar as they help traders to intuit possible analyses of market data. Yes, those intuitions, once verified and proven, should absolutely be automated. I’m not contesting what you’re saying.

I think that there is a commiditization cycle that moves trading strategies from high return, high touch, to low return, high volume, with automation as the enabling agent. If the response time of the trader is a competitive advantage, then I would think there is huge payback in automating that response, since the automated response will be orders of magnitude quicker.
