Looks interesting, do you have to manually populate the tickers? Asking because on line 36 there's a stocks variable.

Seems like the comment below line 36 says you do, but I thought the algo was supposed to pull those for you.

I wonder which has more influence. Bots posting to WSB or bots trading based on WSB, or bots reporting on WSB?

Does this account for slippage and taxes? These always tend to look very enticing until those are considered.
