      Mmm it's not curing cancer. But large non profits, pension funds, and insurance companies need to invest their money somewhere. It's a little harder to see the impact, but the finance industry does benefit real people, some of the time.

      @@ray-mc-l ​​⁠​⁠ i mean there’s another way of looking at it too. These companies just do what’s most profitable and through their algorithms and rather than enriching the real economy they drive asset prices up beyond what they should be which to those who own a lot of assets, which are the richest institutions and people on the planet, they get richer from this while poorer people get nearly nothing in return. Sure, the finance industry can and does help some people who are poorer but it really mainly serves to help the rich get richer.

      @@noWoodsman he has a good heart in the sense that he's able to distinguish what's important and he said what will make him happy is making choices that will change lives and make the world a better place, instead of just making money without impact or purpose. although I feel that that naivete fades with age and we become more practical, having more needs and responsibilities to meet, hence @guitarware is right in encouraging him to not lose it.

      @@noWoodsman There’s nothing left to imagination. Birds can’t fly without friction, you put two together and something bound to create an opportunity that’ll present itself, there’s futile imagination and delayed gratification. Whichever reasonable course of action we choose has pros and cons but the risk will always outweigh the reward, so in terms of high frequency trading. It’s unrealistic and not even bullet proof because expert advisors are a recipe for disaster. Plus the system they use when left without human bias involved are calculated by martingale strategy, anything that cannot be monitored with rational decisions taken into account for every procedure cannot be completely trusted. You are just self projecting your own insecurities on other people. Your impression of me is a reflection of yourself, but anyway. We live in a word called reality, sleeping under a rock won’t make a difference in the plateau. A robot strategy is called high frequency trading for a reason, because they are super computers meant for fast task, henceforth not gradual results over long periods of extend data. Anything that comes fast won’t last, it’s just common sense. A scalper compared to a swing trader is like kicking dust in the air when involving this market about process and progress

      ​@@noWoodsmanHe's the type to buy these "How to make 30% returns a week using this strat" scams. The overwhelming majority of actively managed funds (as in run by industry experts) can't beat index funds. As for accounts run by retail investors, most of those (70%) close in bankruptcy, meaning they don't just lose money but have to shut down from losing SO much of it, so only a small number of "normal people" tread water and fewer still make any returns at all, and a tiny percentage make above market returns but those accounts can't keep up the performance in the long run. Trading is extremely hard, people who consistently beat the market are far rarer than lottery winners and are seen as saints in the industry, some rando online making money for one month, hell, one year means nothing since they can't keep the performance up overtime. But naive folks like the one above are the flesh the meat grinder known as the market require to keep these hedge funds, hft houses and other traders fed since they pump dumb money into the market that these guys can take advantage of when they create market irregularities.
