A mistake…markets need resting time…this will only benefit algo trading.

Yeah I don’t need to be paranoid about my positions while I’m asleep as well, I do that in the day. This subreddit will turn in to a bunch of nervous wrecks running on 2 hours sleep if this happens

u/Feinberg 25d ago

Wait... are you saying that all these yolo smoothbrains are stable and well-rested now? That's pretty damn unsettling.

u/lkeltner 25d ago

Gotta keep juicing them ai stocks -> Next step, personal/customized ai agents trading for you 24/7. imagine spawning a dozen ai agents all acting like your personal trading team ala wall street in the 90s when they had people in the offices doing it. In a wsy its kind of cool/kinda dystopian/kinda wverything is made up and nothing mean anything.. but oh well. Otheriwse for the 24hrs stuff, the hedgies and big banks have been running trails on all that shit (algos and now ai agents) with crypto, and now that they have it down they are moving them into the main markets. Its a logical evolution on our unrelenting progress toward a cyberpunk dystopian hellhole. Better be rich cause youll be effed otherwise.

Well you do know everything is made up and means nothing right? That's just a logical is. Not good or bad but just is. No way around it. It's us humans that want to have meaning with things cuz our egos need to feel important when in all reality no individual can ever be important. Just sheer size of population and even more, the whole universe ie infinity. 1 of 8 billion of anything can't be important. Let alone beyond the planet.

u/AS14K 25d ago

God this is the stupidest argument. Go give away all your shit right now then if it's all made up and means nothing.

u/Trading_ape420 25d ago

Well argue against it with real logic not emotion. It's your emotions that want to argue against it. Logically there is no point. There is no right and wrong there is none of that. It is decided by the group and their feelings towards it. Be real and stop being emotional. Emotions mean nothing, there is only logic and truth. The rest is just idk mental weakness. Need to see through the cloud of emotions and get to the real logic. Again truth and logic are all that matter. Not your feelings no one cares about your feelings. Form opinions with logic even if it goes against your feelings. Logic logic logic. If then if then if then. Not I want to feel important cuz otherwise I'll have an existential crisis of how I don't matter oh no. Again mental weakness. You'll probably rebuttal with something that is you being angry cuz you don't want to have an existential break down and fight the fact you don't matter and can never. Its not good or bad just is. Again you can have feelings about the fact you don't matter but doesn't change the fact of not mattering. Your less than a speck of sand on a beach. So am I its ok.

It benefits people with enough money to lobby the government. The US is a corporatocracy.

Ai stocks.. everybody will need personal ai agents (edit: trading/managing portfolios) for them in 5 years or less. In 10-15 is agents will run everything.

u/who_am_i_to_say_so 25d ago

And big movements can and will happen overnight. Sleep well!

u/k1netic 25d ago

This will just drive more investment to the “safer” Mag 7 stocks and ETF indexes

u/AnotherThroneAway 25d ago

Which will cease to be safer when a quant cascade on NVDA triggers a complete teardown of the entire market at 2am

u/ModifiedLeaf 25d ago

Futures already trade a 23 hour days. 6pm-5pm. They also start trading at 6pm on Sundays.

What is algo trading?

19

u/pac1919 25d ago

Algorithmic trading. Basically programming computers to make automated trades when certain conditions are met. Computers don’t sleep. Computers can crunch numbers instantaneously. Computers can interpret news the moment it comes out. Regular people can’t do any of these things. That’s why it’s bad for regular people and good for the uber wealthy

u/New-Transition7164 25d ago

Computers interpret the news in a moment.... so if a bad financial statement comes out, they make a sell? Good for me, because I could get those stocks on discount... as they probably won't fall any further, and if it is a utility company (electricity, water, gas) it'll eventually perform well, as we always need their services

What do you want from me?

u/nutidizen 25d ago

Have you heard about otc and after hours trading?

1

u/Armandeluz 25d ago

It's all algo trading anyway. Human traders are a small percent now.

u/stygger 25d ago

Is there any other trading?

u/SignificantGlove9869 25d ago

rubbish. markets never rest. just because the markets are closed it doesn't mean the valuation can't change over night.
