The market is a battlefield of adversaries. For someone to cash out on a signal profitably, the others have to get less. A signal system is then easily abused by the signal maker who takes a position before hustling a bunch of people to take it. Or it is abused by a hedge fund or market maker who does the same and raises spreads on you when you are trying to make trades, etc.

That's a fair concern.

Because TrendFi is a trend based model, the signals are not for HFT or day trading. Instead, we identify major market shifts that play out over weeks or months. This long timeframe means the signals are less vulnerable to the immediate front running or spread manipulation that plagues short-term signals.

Also, the AI's ability to self optimize after trades means the underlying parameters are not static. If external players were to try and consistently game the signals, the system is designed to adapt to those new dynamics.
