In order for humans to win at FX
Although it is only a hypothesis, I don’t think it is an unnatural story.
Currency markets are being manipulated by hedge fund AI.
The AI called AlphaGo, created through deep learning by Google, achieved a decisive victory over human top professionals almost ten years ago.
Chess is one thing, but even Shogi has no chance against AI for humans.
It might seem like a world of Go or Shogi, but the evolved form of AlphaGo, AlphaZero, can be applied to a wide range of fields.
I have been trading FX for over ten years, so I understand that market trends have largely changed since around the Covid shock.
Furthermore, they are evolving year by year.
The FX textbooks and methods written in books or online are essentially classical, in other words, before AI appeared.
In other words, if you trade strictly by the textbook, you will lose.
As backtesting for developing an EA, we sometimes go back 10–20 years of data, but the market dynamics have clearly changed from the past.
So, can we win in FX?
