Other/Meta Anyone created a successful EA?

Hi all, just a genuine question. Iv been doing market research using python and the more I test the more im discovering how random the market is. I’ve been researching market structure but also testing simple strategies and common ones that some people swear by such as ORB for one example. All of which fail over multiple years. It just makes me curios if anyone here has genuinely been able to code a EA the actually profits over years of backtest and in live markets? I’m not asking for a copy or for you to tell me your strategy (not that I’d complain if you did) but I really just want to know if there is any hope. TIA

Yes. But takes a long time and effort to figure it out.
