Next flash crash I am going to wonder if somehow a rat was involved......or when I am relaxing at the beach next summer and a big fat rat is drinking a Pina Coloda next to me while reclining on a chise lounge while reading the wall street Journal will I be curious and ask him what he does for a living.
Of course the rat has an advantage. He does not know what the market is. All he knows is that when he hears price go up he should buy, and when he hears the price drop he should sell. He has no bias as to what he thinks the market should do.
It wouldn’t be much different than hiring someone who knew nothing about the market to trade your system. You show him the plan and pay him by the hour to enter and exit trades based on the plan. The outcome of the trade makes no difference to the amount of money he earns. If he doesn’t follow the plan to the letter then he gets fired.
I'd be willing to bet that the majority of traders who come up short of their aspirations do so because they don’t have a plan or they don’t have the discipline to follow their plan.

I always find argument such as "outperform[s] some of the world’s leading human fund managers” very disingenuous. People invest in funds to massively reduce their risk of catastrophic loss. It's not difficult to outperform funds in the short run, especially in a strong bull market.
