While the “NURP attack” on my bot money still causes occasional nightmares, Octane is helping to fill in the pit the attack created. While the “copycat trader” and other schemes were embarked on with hope, Octane is the only “scheme” shrinking the deficit.

The lessons learned this year were painful, but helpful (Just because I need a review):

1. If you use a trading bot, don’t hide it from your financial advisor. Don’t have one? Maybe you should not dump your rollover accounts into a bot accessible account.
2. Don’t like making 5%/year? Maybe a trading bot is right for you. Do you want to make 10% consistently per month? Mr. Greedy, you better be prepared to fail with that goal.
3. If your trading bot is making 40-50% per year and the bot does its work in a non-exciting way, be grateful.
4. The trading bot hero of 2024 could be your villain in 2025.
