​
The core limitation

ATI can translate intent into strategy logic. But it cannot replace:
  • your risk tolerance
  • your market assumptions
  • your decision to deploy live
Automation is powerful, but it has limits.

​
What ATI automates well

ATI is strongest at:
  • translating indicator logic into deterministic rules
  • completing missing structural fields (when possible)
  • generating backtest-ready strategies
  • providing clarity and iteration suggestions

​
Where automation breaks down

​
Vague intent

Examples:
  • “trade smart”
  • “avoid chop”
  • “enter on strong moves”
These require definitions.

​
Market prediction

ATI does not forecast price direction.

​
Unspecified execution details

Slippage, partial fills, and exchange quirks vary in real life.

​
Over-optimization

ATI can help iterate, but cannot protect you from chasing noise unless you follow guardrails.

Overfitting & guardrails

Protect against curve fitting.

​
Practical takeaway

Use ATI to:
  • translate and test fast
  • iterate safely
  • reduce mistakes in structure and risk
Do not use ATI to:
  • assume profitability
  • ignore execution realities
  • deploy without understanding the trade behavior
ATI reduces translation friction.
It does not remove responsibility.
