Actually, I think this supports Mark's point quite well. An exceptional
human may be able to track a single chess game for a short period of
time and beat Deep Blue. But the markets are multiple chess games
running at lightning speed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A human will
quickly die of exhaustion trying to track them all while a computer
needs no sleep, food, vacations or bathroom breaks. Programming the
skill and knowledge of a good discretionary trader is certainly no easy
task but it's not impossible either and it's a worthwhile goal.
