Jay, good for you! That IS an altruistic endeavour. It is high risk and only the pre-eminent risk-taking creative Philanthropic Investors can take on such a challenge.

I took a look at my initial comments to you and they still apply.

Several years ago I considered taking on such a project and even formed a company for the purpose. But I decided it was all too hard and too risky and I wasn't prepared to take it on.

If you succeed, you will be well rewarded. Smoothing life's financial roller coast is a great service. Millions of people spend umpteen hours of their lives trying to do it. If you can do it with a heuristic smart aleck computer and save everyone the trouble, it would be an enormous public service. Your rewards would be vast. Maybe $ill Gates would look like a minor financial participant. Can you handle the glory and adulation?

Those looking for peaks and troughs could go back to doing something useful and leave it to you and your computer.

You are aware [and I did warn you] that the task you are undertaking is a zero-sum game of winners and losers. It's a food chain - a cannibalistic free-fire zone where a more heuristic process replaces a lesser being. But you are already playing that game without the benefit of the smart-aleck computer, so might as well get what help you can. Plenty of other people will be trying to create a heuristic smart aleck a couple of rungs higher on the evolutionary ladder. Your heurisms will have to outsmart theirs.

Good luck! And thank you on behalf of We the Sheeple.
