> It is very unlikely a successful strategy could be based on this [public data]... The claim that someone with 5 months of financial self learning has created an AI strategy that makes a profit 95% of the time.

I've responded to this many times now, and you've ignored me, which is why I don't believe you actually want an answer, so this will be the last time I respond:

Sebastian has not claimed that his strategy will work 95% of the time. That would be crazy. He hasn't even claimed that it has worked 95% of the time –- he specifically stated that if he hadn't manually intervened, it would have lost all his money.

He merely reported that over a limited window of time (5 months) with a limited number of trades (non-HFT) in a bull market, 95% of those trades were profitable. If you break down the math correctly (which you did incorrectly in our Twitter convo), winning 19 out of 20 coin tosses = 1 in 52k. That has surely been done many millions of times, assuming hundreds of millions of trades are made daily.

I'm sorry, but the extreme claim that you're looking for proof of was never made. You are battling a strawman.
