DevBru, And they wasted alot of time too, and strategy is curve fitted. Again, you can not beat the algos, better to manual trade discretionary because you just one person and have bills to pay. You do not have time to be programming all day searching for ideas to program online when you can be trading daily
And most traders are also wasting time trading manually and will never succeed. I will end with this: There are still people out there believing it is impossible to go to the moon, just because you don't see it happening doesn't mean that it is not happening.
And I will end with this: Going to the moon and automated backtesting strategies is a waste of time and money. Go to the moon for what? All that money NASA spend going to money for what? They never returned with any money.
DevBru, automation is waste of time and money. you spend all that time programming and might not even make money competing against really smart people. Just trade manual and make bets daily. See my results on trades so far below, I don't even mess with stocks like that. Waste of time programming to me.
DevBru, Going to the moon or space exploration was a complete waste of time and money. What was learned going there. Waste of money. LMFAO going to the moon. Who cares.
Perhaps a combination approach? Code a daily scanner to produce initial watchlist, then use skill to trade it.
The NASA budget it less than 0.5% of what the US government is planning on spending in 2020. If you would know what great technological innovations came from space exploration, innovations we can't even imagine living without today, you wouldn't react that way. That is 0.5% of a yearly budget well spend, there are a lot of other spendings that are actually a waste of money. So that question you asked earlier about why do it isn't even worth answering.
