I would pay a lot of money for a stock trading bot that just generates $200 a month or etc if I just deposit $2000 into a brokerage and let the little bot do its thing.

I was running a decently profitable scalping operation but the time invested made it silly to continue. However, I could really use the $200 in monthly income, and I'm not too afraid to lose the $2000 principal investment if the bot is coded well.

The other option is a video poker bot, which is already freely available. The issue of course is getting it past the casino :)

At least several hours per day in a lot of nebulous work. Looking at news, looking at technical analysis, it's a pain :)

Actually placing trade orders and closing orders is only a few minutes of work and a lot of waiting/thinking, like chess!

I, too, would like a bot that generated 213% annualized compound returns.

It's sustainable with small numbers.

That is to say, 213% gains from trading $2000 on JNUG/JDST is a lot more feasible than 213% gains on $75,000,000 USD worth of AMZN calls

No worries! Honestly it's a bit of a random walk more than anything but the single most important statistic is the RSI of a specific stock, because stocks tend to return to the average after a large move.
