The Algorithmic Panopticon: How AI Trading Algorithms Are Reshaping Market Power In the time it takes you to blink—roughly 300 milliseconds—high-frequency trading algorithms can execute thousands of trades, analyze market conditions, and adjust strategies multiple times over.

But these algorithms aren't just executing trades faster than humans ever could. They're playing strategic games against each other, creating an entirely new power structure in global finance where microseconds mean millions and the rules of wealth building are being rewritten in real time.

The New Game of Diversification: How Retail Investors Are Rewriting the Rules of Alternative Investments Introduction: The Democratization Revolution in Finance The investment game has fundamentally changed.
