Choosing from the top 250 now biases it upwards. If you did the same for the top 250 stocks by market cap you should significantly beat the market with the same methods. Also, not all these coins were around a year ago. Does the code handle that or just return nonsense? Edit: trying manually returns "Oh Nooooo!!! I just broke the blockchain. Please try again."

Nonsense. If it was so easy to beat the market, I assume you're leveraged up and exploiting this opportunity?

Thanks for the input. It picks randomly from the list; if the coin is not listed at that time it chose another one until fits. "Oh Nooo" error is returned when cryptocompare api fails.

You have no idea how this hurts. I worked for crypto company for 20 months, but due depression did not took any crypto.

I worked at several crypto companies, but since they were all nascent startups in Canada I wasn’t being paid enough to actually afford to invest any money in crypto. :/

I got that error by putting in NMR manually into the URL in another comment here from January 31 2017.

If you want to fix the bias issue, take the top 250 from a year ago and choose randomly from them.
