I just ask myself what action or lack of action will I regret 5, 10 or 20 years down the road. This helps with big decisions and motivation. It is not a perfect system of course, but it has helped to prevent bad decisions and actually encourages a healthy amount of risk taking.

Yeah. I think my curiosity would also be peaked and attention grabbed if my AI built up huge positions with a futures contract.

Don't buy it! The system stats shown at the link suck. Even if they were good, it is still a bad deal.

Tell your kid he is still trading simulation but connect him to your actual trading account. Read the book "Ender's Game" for inspiration.

Why not just hire a programmer and automate your strategies?

Apples and oranges. A trader is able to define the conditions under which they will enter and exit trades. The above activities you listed contain hundreds if not thousands of scenarios the participant will have to be ready for. In trading, basic software packages can automate signal alerts...

You either have a workable method or you don't. If you do not know, define the metrics needed to validate your approach, validate it and then trade with real money. Personally, I have always found sim trading mostly a waste of time. Sure, it's fine for testing your software and approach but...

AlgoTerminal fixed the data bug and I am now able to generate strategy, risk and portfolio level code which can be dropped directly into AlgoTerminal. Very happy with this! I will be starting with 48 unique strategies trading ES, NQ and YM targeting 15 min, 30 min and 1 hour time frames...

So it sounds like you will need to be able to visually determine when you have a signal based on your algo. In that case, any of the retail platforms (i.e. Amibroker, NinjaTrader, Multicharts, etc) should support that.
