It's not about outperforming those hedge funds, I think that is out of scope. They're not competing.
It's that average people (or anyone) can't time the market etc. so nevermind any advantages a quant firm might have, the rules that average person sets up with their IFTTT will be horrifically unwise.
I am sure the idea is well intentioned but really it is just suckering people out of money in a similar way to forex robots etc.
