You've got a point, of course. Models can be based on assumptions etc. But when it comes to quantum mechanics it's not at all such that it's all in the eyes of the beholder. Rather, it's neither in the eyes of the beholder, nor in 'reality', but in ...

Amazingly, but to be expected by now, you get it wrong in every way. Algo trading doesn't take away the psychological element at all - it only moves it to a different set of decisions and behaviours. Neither does maths help against mindset issues. ...
