Hey guys,

I’ve been working on my own trading operation for the past year, and I’m finally seeing results in terms of PnL and consistent edge. Focusing exclusively on systematic MFT strategies in US equities, I’ve built my entire infrastructure myself (with help of LLM). The alphas that I’m running are things I’ve seen work in past jobs and things that I’ve came up with myself - I know how all of my things work, no black boxes.

Day to day, my mornings starts with me reading log files, making sure that processes are running, nothing is broken, etc… after the market is open, I make sure that orders get executed, data flow is correct and monitor positions. The problem is that the supervision of processes is consuming and the more I build, the harder it is to actually build new and to research new ideas.

I’m not making enough $ to pay someone a quant salary here in the western countries and I don’t want to hire an unknown person in Pakistan/India that I cannot trust. I’ve heard about AI agents that are scheduled to do my tasks. Have you guys ever came across this issue when building a new desk or operation? How can you tackle this?

Hey guys, I’m planing a 2-3 month trip to Moscow and I’m trying to find a neighbourhood in which I, a US-based male tourist in his 20’s will feel comfortable.

In my previous visits, I’ve stayed in Патриаршие Пруды and Moscow City. While the neighbourhoods’ architecture and buildings are nice, I did not like a lot of the non-native and non-assimilated guests, mainly from the mountains and Central Asia. They misbehave and do not represent the tradition that one comes for.

What are some finer neighbourhoods in the center or not far which I can enjoy being around native Muscovites or Atleast cultured, well mannered individuals?

Edit: I’m open to both touristy neighbourhoods and ones that are strictly residential. I’m also not only focused on higher end luxury neighbourhoods - something more budgetary would work as well
