You got a nice story out there. Random, bla bla bla...
How instead you come up with real numbers? Like you pick a stock or say an index like the Nasdaq and analyse if its movements are truly random or not?
Also you are aware that true random might mean perfect distribution? You don't know whether the tick is up or down but you know you'll have a distribution that is 50/50 up or down. So you can market make based on it (buy and sell on the same time).
There are more to trading than day trading: Collecting premium on futures or options, arbitrage, collecting interest on bonds, etc...
