Okay @dryg we get it. He won't give you a free demo so now your going to trash him with unfabricated claims. Bravo. Why don't you move onto another thread that maybe you know something about.

Anyway since there are doubts here are the names and their message count in this site who pushing this software

pjimmy 8
rwilger 8
Hemmo 11
Dianoia 3

The last one appears to be the vendor himself. This is typical case of promotion through shills. I would not have problem talk about software if he offered a demo I could test but he does not.

I think it is more interesting why you are defending him. You are not a user you said so what is your point. I am the bad guy because I ask for demo every other vendor offers and he is the good guy because he does not offer one. Think about your logic.

You are correct - I have only posted a few times on the forum (I rarely post on ANY forums).

But I have to disappoint you - I am not the developer, nor am I in any way, shape or form affiliated with him.
And I still stand by my review of BA (those of you that have interacted with the developer probably agree with at least a few of the things I said in my review)

Please do yourself, and the rest of us, a favor and move on to something more constructive than implying that this is some sort of "campaign". You wanted a demo - didn't get it - and now you're angry. We get it.

This is all I have to say about this.

Thanks and have a good day.

You possibly think people are stupid.

Your first post was a fast "Thanks" on December 11, 2018, because you possibly didn't want your first post to be a "positive review".

You immediately came to this thread to market the software with your second post.

Then two more posts to market the same software. You have no other interests in this forum. No other software is good, nothing to discuss or add, only this build alpha that hides behind no demo policy.

Continue to think people are stupid. If there is someone who is stupid it is clear to everyone who that is.

Let the moderators moderate. Report posts using the correct tool (yellow icon to right) along with your thoughts so we can investigate.

Don't be rude in posts. Being rude is not a solution to any problem in this community, and is against our rules.

We have no tolerance for vendors who come here to shill, hide their identity, or otherwise defraud our community. But let us be the ones to act after investigating.

I had possibility to try out build alpha remote viewed.

It has some features that is theoretically sound to avoid curvefitting and noise. It takes a long time of use to learn it and the owner was down 25 k but seems to have found a way to produce strategies with it with good performance going forward but it took a couple of years of study.

My findings was,

1. I found you can only make daily strategies
2. Most found have bad OOS performance so method is very curve-fitting.
3. It was buggy and just suddenly crashed.
4. It has no check weather the strategies found is all the same so of 100 about 90+ are the same and it take to long time to sort them out and when you are done 99.99% fails and you can only do one at the time.
5. The vendor have to approve the use of your found strategies on your trading platform. Irritating to me since then they are not really yours then in my opinion so even if you want to give them away you cant.

------------
Can you elaborate on more information about point 1 and 5?
1) Why can only daily strategies be done? Is it because the system contains only EOD data? I think it is possible to import any timeframe.
5) You can't create code and simply copy it to Tradestation, for example?
