I'm going to get rich (or that's the plan)
How to get rich with an investment bot: the ultimate plan

Is financial freedom really possible by automating your trading with a homemade investment bot? The debate over whether trading algorithms can work on platforms like Polymarket has split the forum between technological optimism and outright scepticism.

What's at stake

  • The core of the debate: A user has presented his strategy for generating passive income with a self-built bot, starting with €2,000 and aiming to beat the market over short periods.
  • The sustancia ilegal: The clash between faith in "backtesting" and statistical reality. While the author defends his methodology, other users point out that the saturation of similar algorithms wipes out any real competitive edge.
  • The detail nobody expected: The choice of Polymarket as the trading platform, steering away from traditional stock markets on the grounds of a supposedly fairer environment in prediction markets.

What forum members say about I'm going to get rich (or that's the plan)

Position A: The methodical optimist. He argues that, after weeks of tweaking parameters and running local tests, the system has potential for aggressive returns (figures of 40% in just a few months). This is the stance of someone who trusts that his code is the differentiating factor.​

Position B: The sceptical veteran. He argues that the market is a graveyard of bots built by computer science students with the same promises. In his view, the "foolproof plan" is in fact a failure statistic repeated ad nauseam.​

Position C: The ironic observer. He focuses on the project's viability not for its technical merit but for the reality of financial markets: where some see an income opportunity, others see the perfect setting for a lesson in financial humility.​

Why this thread won't leave you indifferent

This debate lays bare the eternal struggle between the small investor and the algorithm: if the bot succeeds, it's a statistical anomaly; if it fails, it's the chronicle of a loss foretold that the whole forum has seen before.
