Seems like the money here would be building a shiny, public facing version of the tool behind a robust paywall and build a relationship with a few Broker Dealer firms who can make this product available to the Financial Advisors in their network.
If you were running this yourself with $1M input capital, that'd be $20k/year per 1M of input - so $20K is a nice number to try and beat selling a product that promulgates a strategy.
But you're going to run into the question from people using the product: "Yeah - but HOW DOES IT WORK??!!!" and once you tell them does your ability to get paid disappear? Do they simply re-package your strategy as their own and cease to pay you (and worse start charging for your work)? Is your strategy so complicated that the value of the tool itself doing the heavy lifting makes it sticky?
Getting people to put their money into some Black Box kind of strategy would probably be challenging - but Ive never tried it - it may be easier than giving away free beer for all I know. Sounds like a fun MVP effort really. Give it a try - who knows what might happen.
As fas as I know the more people use the strategy the worse it performs, the market is not static, it adapts. Other people react to the buy/sell of your strategy and try to exploit the new pattern.
The average return from index funds is the benchmark that all those others are trying to beat but all the competitors trying to beat the average have a tendency to push successful strategies towards the average.
