For one, if you wanted to make $20k per month, you'd need at least $200k invested. Oh wait, we're talking long term, not trading. In that case, you'll make about $20k per year. So you'd want $240k per year to pay that kind of salary, meaning you need around $2.4m in the bank.

It's a lot easier to raise that money by selling the tool than it would by trading the stocks.

It also doesn't hurt to share knowledge. Very often you can compare your notes to another.

In fact, if you had an algorithm that picked winning stocks, just add a little delay to everyone else's bots. Your bot buys it first, then some whale buys it and pumps your stock.
