I really enjoyed your post; I, like many programmers I would assume, look at anything like financial trading or sports betting and wonder if it's really possible to build an algorithm that could consistently beat the market.
The assumption is that once logic is removed, a machine could execute based on data. But humans crunch data so much faster than CPUs at this point (at least until around 2020 probably), it's still hard to pinpoint the minute logic that goes into a successful trading strategy.
Your post really shows the realities of how challenging it is, even when guided by humans who have past success at trading.
