You’re trying to beat the couch by supposedly in an informed way selling and buying from the S&P500. The couch just holds its money in the S&P500 and does nothing. Only about 10% of players outperform the couch.
It’s made with real data from the last ~ 100 years but only shows you the trend of the price, not the years.
That stat isn’t accurate. I was able beat it by recognizing periods between 08 and present day. No doubt a certain amount of the 10% are cheating this way too.
It might be more accurate to make a random chart that has a similar statistical profile at a specific time frame, rather than using the plain historical data.

Beating the market is easy though, you just need some insider information.
That’s brilliant, I have to play it
