Economic Trends And Automated Trading
It’s hard to make definite predictions how the winds of economic crisis will change the direction of investing trends, but it’s sure that how we invest yesterday will not be the way we trade tomorrow.
Economic and technological innovations are like swirling jitterbug dancers; they spin each other around in wild patterns. These moves are becoming more interrelated. The internet revolution started a chain of economic events. The current economic downturn is changing how we use technology, as well.
One of these twists or turns could make an Automated Trading revolution more probable. In fact, there are a number of factors in the current economic and technological environment that makes this scenario more likely.
The first factor is the ever-increasing power of computing and the global spread of connectivity. This power connects normal investors and traders to financial information and calculating power that once took offices full of number crunchers. With this power, there will be no technological limitations to make artificial programming ubiquitous.
A second factor that makes Automated Trading systems more likely is the clouds of distrust that are covering current investment practices. It used to be that investing in mutual funds and index funds were considered safe and that Automated Trading was a risky venture. Now, those views are being turned upside down. People don’t want an “industry” to invest for them. They’re starting to realize that they want some control. Automated Trading appears to be a win-win for investors: they keep control of their money, but don’t have the hassles and time-consuming research and monitoring of traditional individual trading.
Both trends tend to favor an automatic way to generate wealth, while still maintaining individual control. With Automated Trading, the investor can be assured that the money isn’t be siphoned off, or hidden, or used to generate a Ponzi scheme because the actual trading takes place in his or her own account.
Although, each investor will approach Automated Trading differently. Some investors may use Automated Trading exclusively; some may use it with other technology and tech-driven educational and analytic tools like our partner, INO, provides, and some may continue to avoid it.
But, the economic, emotional, and technological triggers are primed for a revolution in investing.
is one of my favorite financial books of all time. It's an allegory about a guy who has a terrible job, and how he overcomes challenges to achieve his dreams.
