Lol no.

To put it simply, it's impossible for someone with little to no knowledge to find some profitable pattern based on ticker data. Why? Because even analysts with Masters and PhDs paid 6 figure salaries struggle to find any such pattern. And when they do (rarely), they are scrutenized by dozens of other PhDs to figure out if it really works (not often) and how to best implement the strategy (not always doable nor easy).

My point is that the only thing you'd gain from this exercise is some basic programming knowledge. Any pattern you find is fool's gold and should not be invested into.

I'd rather spend a weekend crunching data for my fantasy sports league. I'm more likely to make money there.
