You can vibe code in this space as an individual because practically everything you are going to write is already in the training data.
The big Quant hedge funds have been using machine learning for decades. I took the coursera RL in finance class years ago.
The idea you are going to beat Two Sigma at their own game with tokens is just an absurdity.
Personally, I think any individual on their own that claims they are doing anything in the algorithmic / ML high frequency space is full of shit.
I could talk like I am too and sound really impressive to someone outside the space. That is much different though than actually making money on what you claim you are doing.
It reminds me of an artist friend when I was younger. She was an artist and I quite liked her paintings. She would tell everyone she is an artist. She was also an encyclopedia when it came to anything art related. She wasn't actually selling much art though. She lived off the $10k a month allowance her rich father gave her. She wasn't even being dishonest but when you didn't know the full picture a person would just assume she was living off her art sales.

Individual quant traders aren't competing with Two Sigma. If you're an individual quant trader and you find a signal with $500k/yr capacity, that's awesome. If you're Two Sigma you won't give a single cahoot if it's not a $50M/yr signal. Two completely different ball games. I doubt Two Sigma is even trading on Hyperliquid either.

Well I'm in the space, but I've come across more than one guy who discovered a money making algo, all on their own, with all the right ideas but without the industry standard terms for them.
All logic would suggest this shouldn't be possible, but what I've seen is what I've seen.

do you want to have a chat by Whatsapp then I can show you quite the opposite! :-)
And in my case: Nobody knows, only one friend who is also deep in the stuff; people doing this are usually more quiet, since nobody is interested at all.
I have some contacts in academia and shared my ideas with them - none of them said: "this wont work"
(Disclaimer: 25+y IT experience, 15 of them in finance)
