What does artificial intelligence actually do in financial markets—and what can it never do? This book separates the genuine technology from the hype, guiding you through the real capabilities and limitations of AI-powered trading systems. You will learn how algorithms analyze data, how machine learning models are trained and tested, and why most automated strategies lose money. No get‑rich promises, no secret formulas—only a clear, honest explanation of how to think about AI as a tool, not a magic wand. From understanding market mechanics and data quality to backtesting, risk management, and avoiding scams, every chapter builds the knowledge you need to evaluate trading bots and platforms with a critical eye. Whether you are a curious beginner or an experienced investor exploring automation, this book gives you the foundation to ask the right questions and protect yourself. Above all, you will learn why the most important part of any trading system is not the AI, but your own judgment. Part of The AI Trading Library.
