Some guy was earning more than a million dollars per year working as a finance programmer in Manhattan. Unfortunately when he left the firm, he was caught making off with its source code.
I am dead certain that I am just as good a coder as he was.
I speculate - SPECULATE mind you - that I have a novel way to time the market. Quite likely there are others who know what I do, but I've never heard anyone mention it in any public way.
But before I invest any actual money, first I'll trade on historical data - that is, I will develop a fixed formula for determining whether to trade, what equity to trade as well as how much - then run my formula through historical data, to determine whether it beats any of the existing funds.
If that turns out to work, I'll use "funny money" to try trading on the current market.
If that turns out to work OK, I'll use real money to buy and sell real equities.
