Patcher you are absolutely correct people are interested more in upvotes and re-steeeming than actually engaging in a concrete conversation. To answer your earlier question yes I can make a Model to fit my requirements however my expertise is statistical arbitration so majority of models are designed for that purpose. When it comes to sentiment indicator I truly have no idea where to begin, we did take a brief look into it however it seemed beyond over scope so we moved onto our core expertise.
Additionally to be a Quant fund operator it all depends you have regulatory requirements if you are planning on raising outside capital, besides that the only other requirement is ability to design/create quantitative models and using those to allocate capital.
Thank you for explaining it @crypticj, I'm pursuing a finance master next year at my university so that's why I'm so interested. Great to have you on board!
Awesome that you are pursuing finance in master Good luck and thank you for the warm welcome.
