Here at Online Investing AI, we are dedicated to using new technology to develop Automated Trading systems. But there is one small problem with a purely programming approach. It does not allow us to leverage off the best trading strategies that people have already developed. That’s where you come in.
Are you a successful trader? Are you looking for ways of using new technology and Artificial Intelligence to improve your trading strategies? If the answer is yes, then we are looking for you.

The Rolling Stones–via Irma Thomas–just needed time on their side. But for traders, you need time… and probability.
That’s where QuantDNA comes in. QuantDNA offers the probability of price movements for assets based on a proprietary formula.
QuantDNA is not a new site; they’ve actually been at the financial biz for a while and are associated with some of Wall Street’s big names. I was impressed with the first version. However, they’ve worked on some upgrades and updates to make it one of the most impressive financial tools out there today.
This is actually QuantDNA 2.0.

Unless you lived with the Unabomber during the 1990s, you have had a taste of disruptive technology. The internet has changed how we do business, how we communicate, how we gather news and information and even how we listen to music.
Business have been created overnight. (We had a word for Twitter back before the web–it was called graffiti.
And business have gone bankrupt over night.
This isn’t anything new. With each new round of technology, we experience disruptions. Railroad, the telephone, the telegraph, the printing press, the wheel, fire–they’ve all changed our lives. But, notice I said that we have experienced a “taste” of disruption.
The next round of technology won’t change our lives; it will change life.

Yesterday I discovered Cooliris, which might just be the coolest thing I have ever seen. It’s an extension for browsers (Chrome, IE, Firefox and Safari) that lets you see all the images in a virtual wall. It is absolutely incredible.
I love Cooliris because it is so neat. But there is more to it. We have talked quite a bit about accelerating technology, and that is a powerful force in our lives. Yet there is another piece of the puzzle that most people are totally unaware of: how we interact with technology.
What does Cooliris teach us about how to interact with technology?

Many people are quite aware of the miracle of accelerating technology. It states that there is a certain period of time where the price/performance ratio of a product doubles. And, that doubling time is getting shorter. For computers, it is down to about 1.25 years.
Computers have a relatively long history, and it is interesting to see the effect on other more recent products. Today, I checked the Amazon home page to discover that they have released Kindle 3.0
.
The first version was released November 19, 2007, followed by version 2 in November 2009. So, the first version was replaced after 2 years and the second after just 8 months. That makes an average of 1.3 years per generation.

After reading this article about how Amazon’s profit has grown by 45%, I started thinking about the other companies that have been making huge profits. Companies like Apple and Microsoft.
Amazon is positioning itself as the leader in eBooks, with the success of its Kindle readers. It was just a few years ago when people did not believe that eBook readers would ever succeed, because reading books on a monitor doesn’t work. Amazon overcame that hurdle by licensing E-Ink, the revolutionary new technology that makes an eBook look more like a real book.
Apple has had similar success with its iPhone, which in just a few years has become one of its most successful products in history. The iPhone 4 was the best selling product ever for Apple. And its stock price reflects the company’s success.
Apple's stock from March 2009
What do all of these successes have in common?

Now I am reading The Universal History of Computing
, an extremely complete and detailed account of every single computing advance in history. It is so complete that it starts with numbering systems, and the invention(!) of the number zero. Where would computers be without the zero?
ENIAC was short for Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer, and it was designed in 1943 and completed in 1945. That was just 65 years ago. It was the first real computer because it was completely electronic, general-purpose, and analytical.
This thing was huge, as you can probably imagine. Much bigger than the computer (or mobile device!) that you are reading this on. In fact, it took up a space 18 ft. by 36 ft. So you needed a huge room just to put it in. Besides that, it weighed 27 tons!

Another day, another Dow drop.
It’s obvious that all the maneuvering and stimulating have done little to stave off rapidly deteriorating global economic conditions. Like injecting a heart with adrenaline, the programs designed to re-start the economy gave it a boost, but only treated a symptom temporarily and never addressed the disease.
Why? Government money is too diluted. It probably takes almost as much money administering stimulus funds than the actual amount that will seep into the economy.
Austerity programs will only stunt or retract an economy. It’s a great gesture, but growth is the key.
To promote growth, governments should drastically cut, if not totally suspend capital gains tax.
The move would:
Instantly boost the market.
You could reasonably expect a 10 to 20 percent rise in the stock market. You could also expect new companies striving for initial public offerings to come out in full force.

To say that pessimism reigns in the market misses the mark.
Fear and panic is a better description.
Conventional theory states that cool heads prevail in periods of excessive fear, just as hot heads lose during stretches of irrational exuberance.
There are essentially four scenarios of how this economy will play out over the next few years. At least one of them will flout the conventional notion that bad economies are time to make money.

I just finished reading Automatic Quantum Computer Programming
and it really got me thinking about the possibilities and promise of quantum computers. For those unawares, quantum computers have the potential to revolutionize our lives as much as the digital computer has. Why? Because they can solve problems that digital computers cannot solve.
How do they do it?
Quantum computers use the characteristics built into the quantum world such as superposition and entanglement to solve these difficult problems. In an ol’ skool digital computer, each bit can only have a value of 0 or 1. However, in a quantum computer, a single quantum bit can have a value of both 0 and 1, at the same time. This is stored as a probability of being a 0 or a 1. So, while the computer that you are reading this on can only store one piece of information in a single bit, a quantum computer can store much more information in a single quantum bit. This powerful ability is known as superposition.

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.
