Our out-of-sample verdict: fine as savings — measure vs holding
As a discipline tool it does its job. But measure any bot against the boring benchmark: on SOL, plain buy-and-hold beat every trading bot we tested. Recurring buys ARE a form of holding — the question is only whether the schedule beats a lump sum, and historically it usually costs a little expected return for a lot of psychological comfort.
