Even so, I highly doubt the best human traders are anywhere close to optimal. It'd be interesting to see how much better a machine-learning approach would fare.

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.
