AI Summary
Summary
The author describes using AI to generate and backtest multiple trading strategies, selecting a subset for forward testing in a simulated environment.
The plan is to deploy real capital on strategies that survive 100 live trades, then run them until a predefined drawdown threshold is breached.
Quality assessment: This is speculative noise. The post lacks specific tickers, strategy details, or quantitative evidence; it is a high-level conceptual discussion rather than a researched thesis.

So with being able to just have AI build a platform to connect to a broker and run strategies I decided to give it a go. I built a ton of strategies with capped risk and then backtested them over several years. I took the ones with decent results and then started forward testing via SIM. I looked at max drawdown, max losers in a row, CAGR and profit factor when selecting.
I now have about 10 of the 50 made running via SIM and 4 look pretty good thus far. My plan is wait until they hit 100 trades and then put real money on the ones that perform well. I plan to run them until they go beyond a certain trough to trough drawdown. At that point I would shut it down. As long as it doesn’t hit that max drawdown out of the gates, it will likely leave me with a profit before time decay.
Anyone try this yet with AI?
