What the Audience Never Expected

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.
