Do you think testing for 4 months proves your bot is better than the hundreds of serious players that spend millions on the smartest talent and the best tech tying to eek out an edge?

How are you determining true alpha? We're in a bull market. Don't mean to sound harsh but this could be blind luck.

Absolutely not. As I mentioned in the interview, the progress so far is not by any means a reliable metric and there are many factors that affected it. 4 months is not nearly enough to prove that and so far the bot works well on a very specific niche market. While there may be infinite other better approaches, this is yet another working one, which doesn't necessarily yield the best possible result. I understand your point of view and I completely agree with it.
