This is good 1. Have a read.
http://www.thefix.com/content/are-you-trading-or-gamblingAnd so it goes. Traders boot up their computers, turn on their trading platforms and become hypnotized by the flickering ticks. Each tick of the market represents the sum total of the greed and fear of every single one of the millions of people trading at that time.
I love this quotes because it have no difference with slots machines. All advance and current market slot machines give you always win some coins, but your mind process it as you had won big 1.

Slot machines has no human at the other end other than yourself. Result of the slot is entirely system.
Trading however is derived by human factor, not system. Not just you but every single person who click on the buy/sell button. Be it news, panic buy/sell, ranging low activity..etc. Hence the difference between slot machine and forex is..psychology and cognitive.
In my position, i have the chance to meet up with high level member from IBM. They have this system call "Watson" which they would be eager to sell the service to us. Watson is like your sci-fi "Skynet" or Siri alike, rather smart. However, they will need to load huge amount of data, it will give you some interesting answer. Even medical diagnosis and stats of right meds to use for the symptom.
I was asking can we actually use it on forex and stock market so Watson can predict market movement. Answer is no. As there is too much human driven factor here supplemented with economic event. It was attempted before but result wasn't convincing. Even AI cannot trade with technical data alone.
