老鼠炒外汇
热度 17
刚刚看到一篇文章，谈到有人进行实验，训练老鼠炒外汇和商品期货，而且业绩比好多有名的人操作的基金还要好。这个想法是如此匪夷所思，到现在我还不能确定这真是确有其事，还是编出来的讽刺文章。
One project is Michael Marcovici’s Rat Trader. The book describes the training of laboratory rats to trade in foreign exchange and commodity futures markets. Marcovici says the rats “outperformed some of the world’s leading human fund managers.” The rats were trained to press a red or green button to give buy or sell signals, after listening to ticker tape movements represented as sounds. If they called the market right they were fed, if they called it wrong they got a small electric shock. Male and female rats performed equally well. The second generation of rattraders, cross-bred from the best performers in the first generation, appeared to have even better performance, although this is a preliminary result, according to the text. Marcovici’s plan, he writes, is to breed enough of them to set up a hedge fund.
