How much stock trading is algorithms vs actual human trading?

Just curious if market movement is mostly based on computers running algorithms all day causing trades vs actual human interaction buying and selling. Anyone have any knowledge on this?

I think algorithms just because all 50 some stocks on my watch list spike/dip at the same exact time very often lining up with spikes/dips in major indices. Just a hunch

I once saw a stat that said about 75% of trading is done by algorithms.
No idea if that’s true, but I can at least theoretically buy it.

Good question with no real answer..

Most algorithmic trading is done for routing and liquidity purposes, I believe.

Worked with a guy with no financial background. He paid a ton of money to develop a program that he could day trade on algorithms. He has made good money starting with smaller amounts trading 50+ trades per day(all usually the first 20 minutes of market open). I would imagine a lot of big money, which may be much smarter, is trading much larger volumes swinging stocks a lot more than than people think.

Who was that kid prodigy someone posted in here a while back that had a large following and a paid service for daily calls. I remember him saying all his trades were usually in the first 20min every day
Be interesting to see how he’s doing in this market today
