The problem Kevin Slavin described here is very real. Humans are indeed getting clueless on how these bot driven markets are doing.
His suggestions, interestingly, is exactly what I am trying to accomplish with the development of the Real-Time Trading Assistant, a tool I have created to deliver meanings and context about the markets in a way human can understand.
I think I am on the right path in combining human intelligence and data driven inference information into something easier to use for human traders in real-time. As a minimum, it is much more practical than using tons of trading indicators. Too much information, or information overload, is often the main reason why traders are having a hard time in making the right trading decisions.
I still look forward to this real-time assistant coming to Hang Seng and H-shares 😀 It would be unique to offer something like this for markets other than just the US markets.
Working on other markets? Yes.
Obstacles:
1. need 2nd set of servers to power real-time signals to different time zones.
2. seriously want to post the daily results from the signals too and that takes a strong web server
3. me put in more hours XD
