Somehow, I’m already in my seventh year of quant trading.
A hobby I picked up the same day my career began.
I’ve poured countless predawn hours into researching quant strategies — laughing some nights, crying on others.
“Over four months, I borrowed 3.2 billion tokens — $8,400 worth of brainpower —
to run 76,982 backtests and discard 28 strategy hypotheses.”
For the past half year I’ve been building my quant research on top of AI LLM models, and the speed and quality have been nothing short of staggering.
On top of that, I stood up a personal server to systemize the whole idea → hypothesis → backtest pipeline, and after enough back-and-forth getting in sync with the LLM, we’ve fallen into a rhythm — half a word and it knows what I mean. (turning my go-to formats into system prompts, few-shot learning from past failures, that kind of thing)
I’m now running through every strategy hypothesis, every failed experiment, every piece of know-how and half-formed idea I’ve ever carried around in my head — trying them all.

The Goal?
Turning it into a business, obviously.
Just enough to put food on the table.
To get there, I’m looking at Binance Copy Trading lead, Cryptohopper, and the like,
and to get there, all I need is to build an “alpha strategy”!
The rest I leave to my own will to execute!
I’ll never give up.
If anything, it feels closer than ever.
