This is what people try to do by training neural nets with genetic
algorithms or by creating rules-based systems using genetic algorithms.

The problem with neural nets are their tendency to fit to noise in the
inputs.  The problems with rules-based systems is that you get too many
rules in the system and overfit that way.

It's not impossible but they require a lot of work.  Like any other method
you may use to approach the markets, you must understand the limits and
pitfalls of these tools.

I am curious if anyone on the list has experimented with trading bots?
I am particularly interested in bots that could learn and could also try
many different strategies at the same time.  Could a trading bot be
trained to emulate a successful day trader for example?  It would seem
that a trainable bot could ultimately be a successful trading vehicle.
