Nice writeup. I have been using your project piglet for the news suggestions; I should have invested :-)

Perhaps I should have invested more than my tax return ;)

That drawdown is brutal

I actually felt quite alright with it. Obviously, I regret not selling when the system suggested (as it did her), but that happens. I tend to pretty laid back about it and look at it as experiment with real money.

Have you looked into using something like the Kelly Criterion for position sizing?

That pullback was brutal but making profits in 2018 was a good thing. We tested 2017 levels on SPY.

I'd be curious how this works with options, specifically under 45 DTE options. I wanted to sign up a while ago when you posted just haven't had time to try other tools as I have been busy.

Do note: I don't give access to my asset management software. The site at the moment is just when to enter and leave a given asset, not cross asset.

That being said, haven't tested myself. Given the advantage we're using (a method called ExpertRank), we recommend holding for at least one quarter. So I expect it wont work as well for that short, but maybe

This is the real ycombinator isn't it, I can't believe this is up on here, is it April first already?

The guy who wrote this works on the machine learning team that I manage. This is his side (personal) project, and the project is real. He has been working on this for years. Not a April first joke.
