My friend got laid off from a hedge fund last November He was making $2.1M/year running their quant desk Instead of applying to another fund - he took their entire strategy framework and rebuilt it on Polymarket 1300$ → 187,564$ in 3 weeks Total cost: $200/month for Claude, $50/month VPS He said: "The models I built for the fund work better on Polymarket, because on Wall Street you compete against other quants. On Polymarket you compete against guys who bet based on Twitter polls" He rebuilt a 4-factor model in one weekend Same math his fund ran on $800M AUM: Momentum scoring: track 400+ markets, buy when a contract moves 10¢+ with rising volume Mean reversion: when a contract overshoots 15¢+ in under 2 hours - fade it Volatility regime detection: hidden Markov model classifies low-vol vs high-vol every hour. Switches strategy automatically Correlation breakdown: 200+ market pairs monitored. When two normally correlated contracts decorrelate - one is wrong. Trade the lagging one. All 4 run simultaneously COPY HIM: Portfolio optimizer combines the scores Fractional Kelly sizing, max 5% per market, 15 concurrent positions His fund's flagship returned 19% last year on $800M His bot returned 144,000% in 3 weeks on $1300 He doesn't need to work anymore
