As institutional investment is increasingly heading towards Bitcoin then this would be my first choice.

Given the direction of global business re-conference calling along with the huge increases in e-sports/VR etc then 'Theta' is well worth looking into........

Either way all the best

If you're going for ten years down the line I think this would be excellent. I've been saying for the last ten years this is going to kick off massively. Still waiting but it will happen!

With cloud gaming beginning to kick off, it's only a matter of time before the two are linked and every household is paying a monthly subscription.

"I’m guessing not, as everyone would be at it."

It should have ended there

True, was thinking out loud. But maybe to the extent of a sideline, ie leave your software monitoring the shares it’s bought, Whilst you do your day job, but not looking at nano second raises, just small ones, whenever it may be on solid stocks. Would be quite brave trusting your cash in the hands of a self written bit of software!

You are correct thoughunworkable and time consuming, I was more curious about someone with admins skill set would consider that sort of nonsense and what they’d do (if anything at all).

A money making macro? Yeah I'll have some of that. Although whoever is selling it will be a multi billionaire. Over to you A1.

I know, I know. I was just curious if anyone had attempted such a thing on a very very small scale, hence why I asked admin who said he wrote the algo’s for big guns. I was thinking a highly long term minimal investment accumulative thing, not make millions overnight but I do digress I was thinking out loud, even if you could see one you’d be depending on old data(hence why there’s a whole competition about latency in the sector). The data I was thinking would be small fry stuff...but yes..it’s a nonsense thought.

Back in the day I liked shares that gave you something.
Townsend Thorenson.. A free ferry crossing
Forte... À free weekend for two in a nice hotel etc

Plus if you were lucky a dividend.

Thank you all for sharing valuable points and information.

Agreed bud, it is a long-term 'punt' so to speak but as you say this space is massive.
I get the feeling that Theta will be a household name within the next 5yrs.

I'll reply tomorrow or over the next few days. But the nature of a dynamic system that you influence as a result of participating means it's essentially impossible to establish long term significant algorithmic advantage.

I’d take Warren Buffet’s advice and invest in an index funds. You’re essentially the investing across the whole of the particular share market that’s relevant to you, i.e the FTSE in the UK or the ASX in Australia. Far less risk (in theory) and more stable returns. Here in Australia you can set up an account with $5,000 and then minimum deposits of $200. Depends what you’re looking for though. So this would be great as a retirement fund but if you want higher risk and bigger returns over the short term then I’d look at something else.

Is Tesla really worth billions when it sell's say 50.000 cars a year.

My advice in the current market stay well away from the stock markets, feck all of the top 5 are cash friendly and are in fact loss making in the the greater scheme of things.

For the few bob you throw in will only give you grief and a trip to pharmacy for a Paracetamol.

Fact by the way.

And Ignore, Gates, Buffet and their type as being these brilliant philanthropists, that's the the biggest myth out there.

They still make money out of what they spout.
