Before I ask, just to be clear, I am asking strictly based on curiousity given the latest subprime events and my current reading of Den of Thieves ( don't ask for a logical correlation please but both just got me curious)
Is it possible to program a trading strategy that takes into account the following and a brief description on what variables would be used?
- greed - market participants
- fear - consumers
- probability of political decisions
- legislative decisions
and based on the above, amongst others, get a portfolio of possible stocks. The last two I am assuming is done with forex ( not sure if this is actually programmable though ) but what about stocks?
and secondly,
do "startup" hedge funds - paper trade their strategies and publish these results?
as always thanks for not putting this automatically into chit chat
