I have spent the last year building an algorithm for more efficiently trading using Interactive Brokers API. My algorithm is not a stock picker... I think this is best done using human judgement. I pick stocks based on business fundamentals, and while this strategy has underperformed during this bubble market, I think I have much lower downside risk than the people with fear of missing out.

I think retail investors like me just need a more efficient algo for getting in and out of stocks... Currently the big players can game the market far more effectively than a single trader just putting in a limit order here and there that gets quickly filled.
