Many of the successful trading firms are powered by ML, of both the price-watching and NLP news-watching variety. I don’t think Deepmind has a comparative advantage against them, but I do expect that people at those firms are trying out deep learning approaches.
Why isn’t it obvious?
I know what I’d do.
Run the algorithm on the Bitcoin market, and then on the stock market.
That’s pretty darn far from perfect information.
