“Have you been considering using cryptocurrency trading bots or are looking for a way to get involved with crypto trading on exchanges? Many people are thinking the same as you. Here are five reasons why trading bots are so popular.”
Why Robots Are Bad Financial Advisors
“In an age of rapidly advancing technology, more investors are opting for DIY financial planning and investment management platforms. These trading platforms, retirement calculators, and auto-rebalancers are increasingly sophisticated, but many investors will learn in the next major market meltdown that there is a human element that cannot be replicated by even the most advanced of these tools.”
Can Computers Time The Market?
“With my background in software, I decided to design, develop, and test out various quantitative models, and leveraged AI to determine the optimal values for each model or “strategy.” Though some excellent quant platforms like Quantopian exist, I opted to develop this simulator from the bottom up.”
10 Years Later, Many Deep Scars From the Financial Crisis Remain
“24/7 Wall St. has evaluated those scars. Admittedly, this has more of an American focus than an international focus. Also worth noting is that an indefinite number of additional scars will remain in place for years and are the aftermath of the Great Recession and financial crisis of the past decade. There is also no way to categorize which scar is the most prevalent because that varies from person to person and from group to group.”
