I've been experimenting with this a lot. My code is all public still because I haven't made any giant gains or anything. But I have seen some success here and there. I've even got this one bot that learns from its past trades via ML and uses what it has learned to decide wether to make future trades or not. https://github.com/madchops1/Dutchess.ai
Thanks for the question! Of course people can donate money (or food) on their own! I'd never tell anyone not to donate to charity if that's what they want.
This project is a satire. Its philosophy is: if you're going to spend your cryptocurrency on a ridiculous ICO because it has jargony language, a whitepaper someone wrote in ten minutes, a countdown timer, and a bunch of gimmicky bonuses, send it to me I'll at least do something good for the world rather than just run off with your money.
(If you don't believe that's what ICOs have become, visit literally any of the hundreds listed on https://www.icoalert.com)
I did another back test with a randomly selected 70%/30% training to evaluation ratio for evaluating time-series models. Adding results to whitepaper. The results are still under baseline.
I am not trading purely on these numbers. They are indicators they help me make my trading decisions and I think they may help others too.
My models evaluations are performing better than baseline when trained with 70% of the data and evaluated against the remaining 30% so I take that as value. As someone else put it a potentially "favorable guess". At this point I'm using the predictions regularly. And I guess I'll know more the longer I keep track of daily results.
