Excellent. That sounds like something I'd really enjoy. I don't work in the space, but I'm more interested in the trading systems than the algos, primarily. After all, I'm a little skeptical about my ability to beat the

Whenever I try to do a ‘5 Whys’ analysis on a belief I have (“I believe X.” “Why?”) I almost always have multiple answers (“Because Y and Z”). Then I have to recursively apply another “Why” to both Y and Z, and it ends up being a pretty wid
