Artificial intelligence is transforming the trading world at extraordinary speed - but what does that actually mean for everyday retail traders?

In this episode of Talking Trading, Louise Bedford sits down with trading coach Brian McAboy to explore one of the most important questions facing modern traders: Will AI make you a better trader… or leave you behind?

AI is already changing how traders analyse markets, process information, generate ideas, and make decisions. But while artificial intelligence can scan data in seconds, it still can’t fully replace the human qualities that often determine trading success: judgement, discipline, adaptability, emotional control, and decision-making under uncertainty.

So where does that leave human traders?

Should retail traders embrace AI as a powerful trading tool? Or is over-reliance on technology creating a dangerous new trap?

Brian brings a unique perspective to this conversation. With a background in mechanical engineering, quality systems, and trading psychology, he understands the importance of consistency, process, and avoiding costly mistakes - all critical skills in today’s rapidly evolving trading environment.

In this episode:

• How AI is changing trading and investing right now
• Whether retail traders should fear artificial intelligence
• Where AI can genuinely improve your trading decisions
• The areas where human judgement still outperforms machines
• How traders can use AI without becoming dangerously dependent on it
• Whether AI reduces emotional trading mistakes - or creates new ones
• Why discipline and process matter even more in an AI-driven market
• The skills traders need to stay relevant in the years ahead
• What will separate successful traders from those who quietly disappear

If you’re interested in ASX trading, trading psychology, Australian sharemarket investing, artificial intelligence, trading systems, or the future of trading in Australia, this conversation is essential listening.

Because while AI may change the tools…

Your mindset may still be your greatest edge.
