More suitable, sure. But I still doubt you'd get anywhere -- people who run hedge funds are very much aware of ML techniques, so I'd expect them to run circles around you.
A strategy: run a LOT of simulations, keep running them every day. When they are too good to ignore, go raise some capital.
There's a saying in the industry: your strategy will go south as soon as you put real money on it -- you can't raise capital without a track record of real money success.
people run MC all the time, not really a new strategy -- expect no breakthrough on that...
I'm suggesting that you run all of your trades with play money, and see how it goes. I'm not talking about Monte Carlo simulations.
