My first thought was, is it April 1st already? "Since I did not want to make it too complicated, I only used the USD/EUR future to make the rats experts in this specific market segment, but other rats can be trained in other markets as well. I trained the rats for about 3 months, starting with 80 Sprague Dawley laboratory rats, 40 males and 40 females with the intention to cross the best of them to genetically create…
The more interesting part was breeding top-performing rats to see if they are able to improve their "trading" genetically. You can do this exact same thing using evolutionary algorithms with trading systems that help you to adapt to the market.
Quant finance is fun when you're doing it for yourself, not a bank.
Issues with this that I see (aside from the obvious lack of statistical rigor) are that he gives the rats repeated input. Effectively, he is selecting for the rats who best memorize tracks 1-600.
