Side note: Why is it that we need something so physical to attach these concepts to?
The photo of the monolithic POWER7 rig that houses Watson with it's translucent logo is akin to all of the Bitcoin articles with shiny gold coins with an icon. I understand the need to have some kind of image, but it's just so detached from the reality of what's going on in practice.
Getting back on topic, I do wonder how much data they're feeding in - it's one thing to pass masses of historical trades into the algorithm, quite another to have it watch for relevant news events that affect the asset prices.
