The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

"There's insufficient interest to make this a viable commercial enterprise, and LonghornBoy's wariness of reliance on a black box is sensible."

There is no way there could be sufficient interest at this point with so few folks here and with what you have shared so far. Some will never trust a black box, others might be like me and would allocate enough funds to such an approach and be willing to pay. I have traded a reversion to the mean type of trading for several years in a small account with some success but would rather do other things with my time and would be interested in your signals. If this board had been open and you had shared those signals for the last year, word would have spread and there would be interest.

I appreciate what you just shared, but I'm not sure what to make of it. What comes to mind is countless hours of candlestick patterns I tried to master years ago which lead nowhere where I was trying to find patterns at price extremes. Is your approach completely mechanical?
