Strategy Advice using SVR

Experimenting with a modified SVR algorithm where I've artificially limited the leverage to 2.5 to meet the contest rules. Any advice for better performance? Short backtests generate positive returns but longer backtests always lose money.

I guess using machine learning approach to process the minute level date is not a good approach. The machine just endup learning the "noise" instead of any thing meaning full

After more backtests I agree my friend. Using daily data does generate some useful results but with trading costs the algorithm loses money overall. I've switched to developing other strategies for now.
