[Medium] An Important Update on the Super-Indicator Trading Strategy

Hey You! Check out my latest Medium article. Here's a snippet below:

One month ago, I launched an unprecedented experiment that has never been done before in the history of the world. Using my algorithmic trading platform NexusTrade, I developed a unique, automated trading strategies that used an ensemble of technical indicators and a variety of my favorite assets including Bitcoin (BTC), Nvidia (NVDA), and ProShares UltraPro QQQ (TQQQ). These strategies were then optimized using genetic algorithms and deployed for real-time paper-trading.

The idea was straightforward. Other complicated AI algorithms like neural networks are highly uninterpretable in the way they accomplish their goal like producing text or image generation. We just train these model until we reach a satisfactory training (and validation) set performance. So maybe, by generating a super portfolio of great stocks, a bunch of indicators, and a robust optimization algorithm, it would create an AI-trading algorithm that the world has never seen before!

One month later and I’m happy to report that fully automated AI algorithms are not taking over the financial markets… yet.

The Performance of the Optimized Portfolio

While I have many articles on how AI can be used to help augment human traders and automate the financial research process, this experiment shows that using price data, an uncountable number of technical indicators, and an optimization algorithm isn’t enough to create a profitable automated trading bot.

This article will dive deeper into these results, what went wrong, and some avenues of future improvement. To get an idea of the motivation of this experiment and how it was set up using the NexusTrade platform, check out this article.
