From the first minute of his TEDx keynote, Joseph Plazo rewrote the audience’s understanding of modern finance. Human intuition, he explained, was dethroned by code long ago.
Drawing on data from Plazo Sullivan Roche Capital, he showed that algorithms now dominate more than 80% of global market volume, rendering human decision-making largely ceremonial.
1. The Death of the Trading Floor
He explained that the traditional trader—the one analyzing charts and making judgment calls—has been replaced by execution models capable of scanning millions of data points in microseconds.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
He explained that today’s institutional algos operate with AI-assisted logic, giving them adaptive capabilities once reserved for human intuition.
The Uncomfortable Truth Plazo Exposed
He warned that manual trading without understanding algorithmic behavior is like “bringing a wooden spear to a drone fight.”

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 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.
