What is the Minimum Sum to Invest in Algorithmic Trading?

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?

• Is Algorithms Based Trading Safe?
• Is There A Mathematical Formula for Option Trading?

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,

Is Algorithms Based Trading Safe?

Actual Question:

Sir, Is Algo trading suitable for layman like me?  If it is, which is the best knowledge center and best software, Ambibroker or Zerodha or Omenys?

Answer:

Shocked man staring at losses incurred through algorithmic trading on margin

Dear Friend!

Algorithm (Algo.) based trading is not good for anyone. There is no best knowledge centre, no best software. It is all hoax. If it were not there will be millions of billionaires. Why will IT companies struggle hard to make software - they can simply make money from stock markets?

Forget about Algo., even ordinary trading in stocks or commodities or currencies is pure speculation and extremely dangerous.

What is your objective?

Getting rich?

There is a much simpler, surer and safer way to riches and wealth!

Learn and become a value investor.

How?

Read the book “The Intelligent Investor” by Benjamin Graham.

There are a number of good websites / blogs, including my own blog “Wealth Vidya” where you can learn and practice value investing.

Open a Demat Account and online stock trading account and start investing in good stocks for the long term.

Get rich slowly but surely and safely!
