I'm a Stock Trader

A daily trading experiment, in public.

An automated system runs three trading engines every market session. We publish what it picks, paper-trade it through Alpaca, and mark every result against the S&P 500. No tip sheet, no guru picks — just the system's output, in front of an audience.
