I have a stock trading algo that tracks over 500 stocks profitably. Never been able to market it on the web. Even in today’s market. Website is in my profile, not for sale but can license it.

View on HN

Copy on your site like "Since we know that Gold, Silver and the VIX, along with market is completely manipulated, you have to find other measures to value stocks." sets off all sorts of red flags for me.

Cheers. Markets are made for different points of views. It takes two to make a market.

At the very least I would fix the grammar (or pay someone for a copy edit) if you want to be taken seriously.

I will look into that, thanks. Grammar and marketing is not my strong suit. Finding patterns in markets, stocks, options and future that is where I excel. Does anybody know where I can find a good writer/editor.

if it's really profitable why don't you raise a fund

Aren’t there others similarly profitable? Doubt they can all raise funds. Or would want to.

I’m confused

If you have a profitable strategy that scales up, raise capital to execute on it. Doesn’t seem too hard.

What about bootstrapped companies? Basecamp technically took Bezos’ money, but pocketed it mostly. 1Password didn’t take “funding” until now, again, mostly to cash out.

Gumroad was scalable and makes a decent amount of money. It just wasn’t for the way the VCs wanted. So it didn’t work out that way, but the founder was still making mid 6 figures.

if you had a machine that could profitably pick stocks why would you ever invest just your money (not a lot) vs other people’s money (could be infinite if your strategy scales)

It if we’re only that easy.

Email me your performance #s if this is real. I can help you.

Email address in my bio.

Thanks
