What regulatory issues do you face trading with the Indian Stock Exchange when based in the US?

Also you mention you had some concern that some of the stocks may crash. Have you worked in finance in the past to be familiar with the securities offered by the NSE, BSE and MCX?

No regulatory issues whatsover. Zerodha, the company behind Kite is SEBI registered, therefore standard regulations apply for NSE and the others.

Have not worked directly in finance, but I always had an interest in it. However I accumulated most of my experience in the past year. My recent concerns concerns were based on previously observed patterns and analytical observation.

Do you think testing for 4 months proves your bot is better than the hundreds of serious players that spend millions on the smartest talent and the best tech tying to eek out an edge?

How are you determining true alpha? We're in a bull market. Don't mean to sound harsh but this could be blind luck.

Hey! The maker here. Would be happy to answer your questions on my little side project.

Are you willing to say how much money was at risk?

I'd rather not disclose the exact capital for personal reasons, but every month has been profitable so far.

Absolutely not. As I mentioned in the interview, the progress so far is not by any means a reliable metric and there are many factors that affected it. 4 months is not nearly enough to prove that and so far the bot works well on a very specific niche market. While there may be infinite other better approaches, this is yet another working one, which doesn't necessarily yield the best possible result. I understand your point of view and I completely agree with it.
