You need to keep in mind that "the computer" isn't making any decisions...

If it is computers making the trades, and not just retail trade execution you are seeing, it is still simply a tool that is implementing the set of instructions that have been coded for it...

Total BS to try to claim the trade is automated and thus a neutral element of the landscape... because computers do exactly what they're told.

So, the more correct question... would be focused on and be about the trading strategy... rather than tools used in executing the strategy...

That's even more true in the exact situation you've accurately described... which is addressed directly enough in this remarkably terse and sparse yet precisely relevant coverage:
