Bots are so annoying on exchanges. It is better to trade manually instead of bots. My big hope is that exchanges maximize the number of concurrent trades to 5-10 or so.

Bots aren't actually that bad. They help to provide liquidity by increasing the volume of trades.

The market would be dead without bots. They'll be a lot of them soon bringing plenty of trade volume.

Exactly. All markets would be far more stagnant if bots weren't around increase activity. Besides knowledgeable people can tell the difference between a bot and a real person buying.

I don't think it would be trivial to identify trades from a bot versus trades from a person if the bot designers intentions were to hide that. I'm sure there are ways to filter out the obvious bot orders to get a better idea of how many trade were done manually rather than done with a bot.
