Why 70% of trades aren't human anymore

How machines really move markets

Don Kaufman here.

Jeff Bierman's been hammering this point: the market's not the same animal it was five years ago.

Here's the reality check nobody wants to face.

Roughly 70% of trades today come from algorithms. Not guys in suits making gut calls. Machines processing order flow faster than you can blink.

Jeff showed us the data and even I was taken aback. 

High-frequency trading firms represent 2% of market participants but handle 50-73% of U.S. equity volume.

That's not theory. That's SEC reporting.

Why This Changes Everything

When algorithms flood an order book, they leave patterns. Slope shifts in volume. Order flow imbalances that precede price moves.

Why Traditional Analysis Falls Short

Most traders still react to price after it moves. 

They're watching CNBC headlines while algorithms are processing order flow microseconds ahead of news dissemination.

Jeff's Genesis Cog approach reverses that. You're tracking the pressure that creates the move, not reacting to the move itself.

This isn't about turning $1,000 into millions overnight. Jeff's showing how systematic approaches adapted for algorithmic markets.

The value is in understanding how modern market structure actually works. 

How to read order flow. How to identify when institutional algorithms are building positions.

See How The Genesis Cog Actually Works

Jeff recorded a quick video of how the Genesis Cog works.

No fabricated testimonials. No impossible promises. Just systematic education about how modern markets actually function.

The market's dominated by machines. That's not changing. 

But understanding how they operate gives you an edge most retail traders never develop.

To your success,
