I've thought about it and even considered one of them cloud mining setups but the reviews were divided. Luckily somebody else (MrDividend?) did it before me and from what I can tell it's not working out that well. Prefer buying/selling on the exchanges. Made good profit with not too large a sum of money before I completely cashed out two or so months ago.

Might get back into it, maybe.

Which of these would you rather have in your TFSA instead of DIVTRX:  NFSWIX, MAPPSG or CTOP50?

You need to give them credit though... Snapcan is pretty damn awesome.

Snapscan was developed by another company Standard Bank bought if I'm not mistaken.

Well, while not strictly AI, there was a guy at the big blue who made use of another provider's API (PSG maybe?) and had a futures trading bot running on it and was doing reasonably well. Still remember him asking Simon why he doesn't use trading bots and he told him that a trading bot can make thousands of mistakes a second whereas he can only make one :D

Google Finance is not officially supported by Google anymore and given their history with products they can simply pull the plug one day without notice (suppose Bloomberg can kill their API as well). Not that I think they would. Google Finance also hasn't updated with the latest Satrix ETFs... :(

Had a few minutes: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bS8SD-c9XsM-V8Nx-wtp3giEMzEk3wm1oLCZyqp4oSc/edit?usp=sharing

Draws data from Google Finance. Only problem - Google Finance will one day disappear and somebody needs to manually maintain it. Either way, you can setup a Google Spreadsheet and use the specific tickers you want to build a portfolio. Add your holding values, set up some graphs and BOOM! Better software than most banks provide :D

What we need is a standard web API for retrieving delayed JSE data. Don't understand why the JSE doesn't just do this themselves (throttle it if they're scared of abuse).

Nope, I haven't tried. I do see data for JALSH:IND and INDU:IND though, are you looking for something different?
Meant data of all the Instruments on that exchange

@Patrick, have you figured out a way to get the whole list of all the JSE instruments from them. Last time I played with it I tried http://www.bloomberg.com/markets/api/quote-members-page/JALSH:IND because it seemed to work for INDU:IND. But, alas, that didn't work out.

I think you missed something Hamster, the numbers for New Zealand were per year and SA were per day!

Your stats should look like this:
NZ: 0.000003191489362
SA: 0.0036906382978723

SA has over 1156 higher chance.
Yeah, I missed the per day part. That makes quite a difference :D :(

The NZ average number of deaths from Earthquakes is 15 per YEAR. The average number murders in South Africa is 49 per DAY! Is it really a hard choice?

NZ Population: 4.7
SA Population: 55.9

Death rate NZ: 0.000003191489362
Death rate SA: 0.000000876565295

:p

SWIX was created to get rid of the "resource heavy" problem and in turn created an "industrial heavy" index. So in my mind SWIX performs better than the regular top 40 because 1.) resources aren't doing that great and 2.) Naspers and SAB
