As long as you're not using the target data for training then you're fine.

Let me ask you then, why would you think this is cheating?

The necessity of ML for your scenario has nothing to do with your question...

I normally wouldn't entertain that, but upon checking your profile it seems like you're interested in financial ML. As someone who's briefly done research in financial ML I can tell you that 99% of the papers you read and ML code you run are pretty much BS. You're better off using ML very sparingly and using if-else statements.

Yeah man... I really see no reason to use ML unless you have like a very good reason. Doesn't really seem like cheating though

Data leakage is something different. But here I don’t see any reason why the ml model should work any better than the scientific formula.
