Thanks! Full time \~8yrs, the degen stuff is my side project. HFT is basically just competitive programming (&CS) - that was my background pre finance.
Lol. We literally need nothing. We are just 2 partners and a bunch of consultants. I do all the admin stuff, I got a small accounting team, legal team (if ever needed) and the connections to the venues we need, etc. I audit all the systems before running them / am heavily involved in their dev. We don't need money.
Basically a very small independent prop firm / quant shop I guess. All self funded & all we do is arbitrage (more or less latency arb the MM's). I'm trying my hand at finding alpha in other markets, TBD how well that works tho.
It's how I actually make my money / my job. WSB's is memes

Yes man i feel you. I am 20 and currently in uni studying engineering. I am aware that if i invest like fully cautiously sure it would be good but in the other hand my account is made from the money flipped i from cs skins and savings. It can go to zero and i would be sad sure BUT imagine im like 37 with kids and my account goes to zero then im cooked. So if i should ever take risks its know no? In addition i have real investments as well, and by risks i dont mean full porting into 0dtes xd. Its just i always loved to research things and just something about picking the right stock makes me feel really good at this point i dont think its about the money for me
