I’ve wrestled with that same balance, and what finally worked for me was treating the AI more like a second pair of eyes rather than a decision-maker. For example, before I place a trade, I still go through my normal routine—mark levels, check the broader trend, and compare it with past setups I trust. After that, I run the same idea through an AI assistant to see if it picks up something I may have overlooked, especially volatility spikes or pattern inconsistencies I tend to miss when I'm tired.
—it’s pretty practical about using AI to complement, not replace, your judgment. I also started letting the AI handle repetitive tasks like sorting through news sentiment or filtering assets by conditions I set earlier. That way, the mental energy I save goes into the final decision. When I treat it as a helper instead of a shortcut, the results feel much more controlled.
