they will yield somewhere around -25%
that assumes that they stay linear and don't get weird. they probably won't be linear, so maybe you can get -15%

just make it dude
traders already "reproduce" irl because better traders compound more gains than worse traders, so more of the money in the market is being used in smarter and smarter ways
the simulation that you describe is already happening because of market forces (natural selection of held dollars). instead of computer bits keeping track, the best trading strategies are tracked by account values increasing or decreasing faster or slower than the general market

what you need to understand is that EVERYTHING IS CHANGING CONSTANTLY, so you have to stay ahead of the curve, not just watch what happens and try to follow on later after you run a survey

also if you don't have experience backtesting, you can already do sort of what you're talking about in a more straightforward way (and less processing heavy) by just backtesting random but iteratively changing strategies
again, it's not free money unless you find a way to do this better than all the other script kiddies who have had the exact same idea. it's not like no one has ever had the idea "hey can I use a computer to figure out optimal trading strategies"
there are ways to do it, but to describe those strategies and algorithms requires a vocabulary that isn't spoken in these threads (it's mathy nerd shit lol)
