Weekly model dev log: We tested a wild hypothesis – could global atmospheric pressure data serve as a proxy for mass psychological sentiment, influencing market behavior?

It's a humbling reminder that most novel datasets are just noise. The path to finding alpha is paved with null hypotheses. Back to the drawing board for new sentiment sources.

Make it say “Discover People” is what I’m proposing. #mastode
