Today is the day that the Evergreen AI is released into the great unknown of the stock market. This marks the beginning of the next phase of development: live-tested paper trading or put simply, the last test that will be conducted before this thing deals with real money. Over the next month the network will be fed data exactly as it will see it during trading and will make decisions exactly like it would for real trading except it will be using "paper trading" which simulates real trading without any financial risk.
The day has proven to be highly successful with only one minor issue that will be resolved before tomorrow's trades. Overall the trader chose stocks that have risen, on average, 1.74%. Unfortunately this was not officially logged through our broker as the buying program placed market buys which meant buying a stock at over 10% its actual value. This is a simple error that will be fixed tonight. Expecting errors like this, we have the capacity to track the stocks independent of the broker and they have performed very well. Not only have they performed well but they substantially out-performed the market's 0.39%.
This is a real step forward for the project. I do not anticipate that we will be able to maintain these growth rates, but they do show real predictive accuracy that I believe will make itself more and more known as the month carries on.
