Why system based trading?

According to many of the surveys and studies happened in the past we got to a point that more than 95% of retail loose money  in the markets. Multiple factors are the reason for the same, but some of the biggest one are the emotions i.e. fear and greed. We can't overcome that completely but can reduce them to some extent with system based trading, where all the entries, exits, profit and  loss booking are decided prior of taking the trades.
