What is the Minimum Sum to Invest in Algorithmic Trading?

Tag showing "Algo=0"

Actual Question:


How much money minimum can be invested in algorithmic trading?

Answer:


Dear Friend!

“Zero” is the minimum and maximum amount that can be invested in algorithmic trading. If this were not true, the software will be as popular as Microsoft’s Windows and all the world’s richest will be doing only the business of algorithmic trading.

My dear friend there are no shortcuts when it comes to investing.

At the same time there is a sure and certain path to significant invest success through the path of ‘Value Investing’ shown by Benjamin Graham. Please read the book, “The Intelligent Investor”.

I had answered a couple of questions relating to algorithmic trading in the past, maybe you would like to read them too?


To conclude not a single penny should be invested in algorithmic trading. One should pursue proven, safe and investment protecting strategies.

Happy, safe and enjoyable investing!

Thank you,

With Best regards,

Is Amtek Auto’s Share Worth Investing?

The short and immediate answer is a big NOOOOOO!

It is not safe to invest in Amtek Auto. 

Unfortunately the already bad condition is rapidly deteriorating.

The losses are mounting and key profit and loss account related ratios are falling.

All the key balance sheet ratios like current, quick and TOL/ TNW ratios are declining.

Even the market conditions are not favourable.

The EPS and PE Ratio are negative, indicating losses. Dividend yield is zero. Price to book ratio is tempting at 0.17 (discount of 83%) but still please do not fall for it.


The share price is in doldrums. After a brief rally in 2014–16 where the price touched about Rs.215, it is languishing at the bottom at Rs.37. Amtek Auto stock’s five year price graph below vindicates my stand:

In conclusion Amtek Auto's share is not a good investment option, so please do not invest.
