So I had trouble watching that. It had almost no information.
The name would suggest it is just a boosting algorithm like XGBoost or LightGBM.
But as you say, totally lacking in transparency. Time series validation? Validation at all? Does it have a hold-out trade set? Maybe, as I say I could not sit thru it.
We do know P123 offers boosting (2 advanced methods for boosting) along with a wide range of additional AI methods and includes the ability to set most of the hyperparameters. The ability to control the hyperparameters is no small thing.
I would say that the only thing they have is a slick YouTube video but as I said I could not sit thru it. So maybe not that slick after all.
I do think there are low-cost algorithms that run quickly which could be marketed by P123 to even retail investors to increase membership while maintaining the strength of multiple advanced methods with good user-control (hyperparameter control and control of cross-validation methods) for advanced members. They are marketing to low-information investors and P123 could offer a low-cost solution to those people too.
But P123 mostly just needs to become widely know or to go viral in a sense.
Also while they had they had a "similar" idea, it is far from new or original. The Kaggle crowd is posting about trading ideas all of the time. The problem for them, until now, is the lack of access to the data. If they find P123, they can use the AI/ML or do anything they want with the AI/Ml and/or the downloads or API.
It is just a matter of them finding us.
Here is an example of an ML site using Multi-Armed Bandits Applied to Order Allocation among Execution Algorithms. Something I posted about here: Algorithm for Finding the Best Trading Strategy Quickly
The link to this site just shows that the interest is already out there. This is just one example of that. They won't need a video to recognize the value of P123. They just need to find us.
