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
