Presenting The Future Of Trading

The future of trading has arrived, and it's blue. SchwabBlue.

Hello, world. I’m Blue. Mild-mannered investment algorithm by day. Same thing at night. 24/7, actually.

[aVileRat]

Resistance is futile. Its also comical, much like MACD resistance traders.

Ruler over humans by 2030.

I welcome our AI overlords.

The "folks" at Schwab have no fucking idea how they are decimating their own client base with this.
Next, no brokers and investment bankers.
Ned Ludd was right

Charles Schwab Corp ‏@CharlesSchwab Jan 28

@immifin @Nanexllc Schwab doesn’t route orders to UBS dark pool. BTW, we were just ranked #1 in trade reliability:  http://bit.ly/1LiGDd6

And there aren't really any central bank plunge protection teams...

And the check is in the mail...

Etc...

 "I welcome our AI Overlords."

If you want to get over that, just read "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream," a short story by Harlan Ellison.

I wanna get a drink?  You game Blue?

[Keltner Channel Surf]

A 5k minimum, no fees or commissions, but you let them toss you around at their whim (though within your stated 'tolerance') amongst Schwab ETFs, with messages like "we rebalanced your ass 5 days ago," etc.  Could be a cool way to get to VWAP, with Chuck watchin' the charts at 3:26 pm, decided whether to press that big ol' green "rebalance" button.

[Mr. Bones]

So why don't we have a two tiered system:
1) algos playing whatever games they play in split second "entirely legitimate," "investment" trades.

2) minor league for mere flesh bags to waste money on gambling, hookers, and blow

I wonder which one would be more stable.

[Mr. Bones]

Oooh, ooh! And we could have clever IT folks on Blade Servers administering the Voight-Kampff test to make sure the human traders were real.

I program for a living....and let me tell you when it goes wrong it goes really wrong and it will. 

[Parrotile]

Lots of "how come THAT happened??", and "I wasn't expecting it to do THAT!" moments.

[cheech_wizard]

And then it really goes tits up when the software hits an actual hardware bug...

[UncleChopChop]

i remember interviewing with schwab 15 years ago.. they were just starting trying to do institutional stuff and they were so new, their business cards will still fucked up. the woman handed me a card that said instead of 'member SIPC', it said 'member SPIC'. (for those who don't know, spic is a deragotary term for latinos in the states.. though it doesn't get much use these days). i wish i kept that card as a memento.

[Bioscale]

Every program has bugs. These will be found, exploited and the blue asshole will be crashed by other blue asshole of a different corporation. Good luck with such market.
