    Are they using one of the websites where real market data used, but you’re using pretend money, or are they using the literal stock market to train AI to game the stock market?

      There are already mock trading platforms that use real time data but pretend money, so I assume you can just connect the AI up to one of those? I guess the only difference is your “investment” doesn’t actually have the ability to affect the real time data (whereas investing for real actually alters the value just by itself), but for any significant stock or cryptocurrency I doubt it would even be a rounding error.
