That is gambling, not investing. And you can lose lots of money by gambling.

Most trading professionals would not call it gambling if you have positive expectation and a process.

Positive expectation properly and repeatedly executed over time is a business.

Would you say a casino is gambling by offering table games to customers?

For the uninformed, bypassnro was how you installed Windows 11 (anonymously?) and with full local control without a Microsoft account. To save a Ctrl-F:

    We’re removing the bypassnro.cmd script from the build to enhance security and user experience of Windows 11. This change ensures that all users exit setup with internet connectivity and a Microsoft Account.

Yeah but then you're too old. Need to be in your 20s with a couple decades of experience.

Nice project, just as a challenge / piece of feedback - most of the time you don't actually need to have a C backend for this type of project. The challenge is to get all the P/Invoke signatures and struct declarations / pointer walking correct on .Net. The benefit being a single managed EXE and no need for cross process communication and the edge cases it brings.

(Source: Have built a full SCSI interop layer in .Net to do low level CD ripping, full with native pointer walking and all. Have also written tools to walk the PEB (process environment block) in .Net w/ no native backends.)

If a site aims to commoditize shared expertise, royalties should be paid. Why would anyone willingly reduce their earning power, let alone hand away the right for someone else to profit from selling their knowledge, unattributed no less.

Best bet is to book publish, and require a license from anyone that wants to train on it.

What signals is the AI bot using? Just a mix of the TA indicators?

I ask because price forecasting is a data modeling problem, and I'm skeptical of the bot's listed win rates. Unless one knows how their signals work (i.e. what real world market phenomenon you are modeling), there's no way one should trust that edge.

Separately, if you breakdown other indicators like CCI you realize they are crappier versions of basic statistical methods like Z-scoring. Or that anything using a Wilders average is using a crappier EWMA, and then that anything using EWMA can be improved to be stationary by filtering out noise outside the passband of information you want to target.

So I'm skeptical of the bot.

anyone who speaks a non-standard variant or dialect of their language will have less power to share their thoughts and ideas

If a recipient doesn't speak the language, the speaker doesn't have much power in the first place. This is noise reduction.

In this context I mean price. Nothing else.

Ask an economist or investor why the market goes up or down and you'll get many reasons, some may be right, some may be wrong.

Ask a trader why the market goes up or down and you'll get supply exceeded demand, or vice versa.

You can have a fun debate about everything the first two care about, but at the end of the day, only the price action will feed your family or improve/worsen your standard of living.
