Working on a automated stock market trading algo. Focused only on swing trading with a fixed index.

Earlier I had some success with a couple of srats, but they aren't working any more. Idea is to have an arsenal of strategies and use whichever is performing better based on recent back tests.

More than the trading part, the fact I can leverage some ML in these interests me, plus quite fascinating how helpful llms have become especially for python programming.

I studied technical trading extensively for my MCom. thesis

Conclusion: The EMH in its weak form is correct.

Buy, and hold. Work for your money. Sleep well.

Wouldn't your returns be destroyed by commission fees? Or do you use a payment of order flow one.
