Machine Learning has incessantly changed markets

I looked into havens a long long time ago. It all seemed to be about tax evasion (or at least secrecy) vs tax avoidance. If that's wrong, or if things have changed, would you be willing to pass along references on how that's done on the up-and-up?

I'm not willing to give up a good night's sleep

I'm sure it depends on your situation. Besides, if you're not getting back at the government, who cares.

The poll itself seems ill structured to be honest. All you have is price, volume, and time information for trading. I don’t see how ML is going to change the game outside of HFT arena. All I read from the op here was how his algos are great because it uses better chips with multiple programming languages (how does statistics and algos differ by using faster chips?), and those interested in investing can message him. There was zero discussion about machine learning itself, despite others showing deeper knowledge than him.

There will always be exploitable niches, whether from market inefficiencies or taking advantage of recurring activity patterns.

ML/AI makes some type of trades unprofitable for a human, but creates new opportunities if the human can learn to take advantage of the algo behaviour. Later new algos will replace these humans at taking advantage of the previous algos and the human traders will have to evolve again. The old algos will have to change to become profitable again.

It's a never ending cycle.

Agreed. People often talk of ML/AI as a single entity that will compete against humans. If that were true, maybe ... only maybe ... a single ML/AI system would maintain some kind of unique edge. Of course 100's to 1,000's of firms are incorporating individual, uniquely tuned, ML/AI systems in their trading practices. As ML/AI systems compete against each other, it seems like each system's unique edge would get diluted ... and xavik's 'never ending cycle' would come into play. At some point, isn't each ML/AI system just another trading entity to find an edge and use it as long as possible?

Welcome to the jungle.
