Chicago HFT engineer pulled $190,492 in 24 days running Markov chains, Monte Carlo simulations and Claude as the brain - out of a $6 server in his bedroom. His old firm walked him out on May 1st for building it on company time. They didn’t like that. Nobody would...

It’s all bs. I don’t get what you idiots get out of these posts that are nothing but complete lies

@piyascode9 that's wild. bet he's gonna get snapped up by another company soon. 190k in less than a month is insane.

Running Markov models on a $6 VPS after getting walked out by TradFi is the ultimate builder lore. Love the execution speed on this.

Dont truncate the wallet address so we can verify not just trust your "bot-marketing"

An engineer at a Chicago HFT shop spent six years building latency arb pipes between CME and NYSE. On May 1st his desk got cut. Severance: $40K. He deposited $3000, ran a Hermes trading agent on Polymarket, and pulled in $236,913 over the next 23 days. His agent wallet: The pit taught him one thing - find where one venue knows something another doesn't, size to the gap, exit before the spread closes. So he made 757 trades a day. Not 7. Not 75. And let the rest expire. Here's the actual stack. Claude Opus 4.7 reads spot momentum off Chainlink, scores every 5-minute BTC market by Markov persistence × Kelly edge Then surfaces the windows where Polymarket hasn't priced in what Binance and Coinbase already confirmed. Hermes Agent by NousResearch executes. A $10/mo Hetzner VPS runs it 24/7. Telegram pings on every fill. Total cost: $10/month. Setup: 30 minutes. No coding. One trade on May 14: Bitcoin Down at 9AM ET. Market said 15.8¢. He put $1,681 on Down. It hit. +$8,974. A 533% return in 47 minutes. The real edge is the nightly self-learning loop. Every midnight, Opus reads the day's trade journal and rewrites MIN_PROB and MIN_EDGE in the .env file. May 2nd the threshold was 0.87. May 12th 0.89. May 23rd 0.91. The bot tightens with the regime. His version of the bot has rewritten itself 187 times in 23 days. The desk that cut him couldn't ban him from Polymarket. The bot doesn't sit in the colo. It doesn't need a leased line. It just reads two endpoints and presses a button. Save this if you want to dig in and understand Hermes. Or just copy this guy trades using TG bot - his algorithm has been perfected 187 times:

A blackjack dealer in Macau got blacklisted from the VIP rooms last spring for counting cards. By August he couldn't get a floor job at any property in Cotai. So he deposit $500, ran a Hermes trading agent on Polymarket and pulled in $881,319 over the next 14 months. His wallet: The casinos taught him one thing - count, size your bet to your edge, walk away when the edge is gone. So he makes 5 trades a day. Not 50. Not 500. Five. And waits for the rest. Here's the actual stack. Claude Opus 4.7 reads the order book nightly, scores every threshold market by Markov persistence x Kelly edge, and surfaces the 2-3 mispriced ones. Hermes Agent by NousResearch executes. A $10/mo Hetzner VPS runs it 24/7. Telegram pings on every fill. Total cost: $10/month. Setup: 30 minutes. No coding. One trade in April: Will Bitcoin reach $90,000? Market said 1.2¢. He put $3,088 on Yes. It hit. +$123,196. A 3,988% return on a single position. The real edge is the nightly self-learning loop. Every midnight, Opus reads the day's trade journal and rewrites MIN_PROB and MIN_EDGE in the .env file. Last week the threshold was 0.87. This week 0.89. Next week maybe 0.91. His version of the bot has rewritten itself 412 times in 14 months. The Macau syndicate couldn't ban him from Polymarket. The bot doesn't sit at a table. It doesn't show a passport. It just hunts the tails. Save this post - if you want to build something of your own based on Hermes. Or just start copying algorithm that has improved itself 412 times:

Someone just posted the full blueprint for an AI swarm that does the job of a 200-person quant research team. Six agents. Running 24/7. Finding brand-new alpha while you sleep. Citadel needs 100 PhDs to do this. Two Sigma needs 200. This does it with six bots and one laptop. Two ways to play this - spend a weekend building your own swarm, or copy the wallet of one that's already up $2M: Boris Cherny runs Claude Code at Anthropic. Two weeks ago he said: "I don't prompt Claude anymore. I have loops running that prompt Claude. My job is to write loops" Alpha research is just a pipeline. So instead of sitting in it, you hand each stage to its own agent: > one reads every new research paper overnight and pulls out the trade idea > one builds the features and cleans the data > one backtests it over 20 years, costs and slippage included > one runs the hard stats and kills anything overfit > one checks it still works in every market regime > one strips out plain momentum and value to see if any real edge is left Each of those six is a job a fund pays a $600,000-a-year quant to do. He runs all six for the price of an API bill. The rule that makes it work: the agent that builds a signal never gets to approve it. A separate, stronger agent tries to kill it first. Whatever survives all six by morning is real, new alpha. One trader's already running this exact swarm on Polymarket. That $2M wallet is public, every trade on-chain. The full build is in the post below - six agents, the tool that runs them, and the five mistakes that kill most people. Bookmark & read this before it's buried.

A fired Jane Street quant walked out with 10 years of private BTC trading data. Turned it into $1.5M. He did not build a bot. He built a simulator that runs every move Bitcoin can make before it makes one. I found his wallet. Been copying him for a week. PnL prints like clockwork. Here is what he actually built. A swarm of agents feeds 10 years of stolen tick data into MiroFish. A god-tier agentic simulator. It does not forecast the next candle. It spins up a virtual market and plays Bitcoin forward through thousands of scenarios at once. Six agents each validate their own call. A trade only fires when they converge. They collect data 24/7, rerun the sim, and remember every pattern, every reaction, every signal they have ever seen. He does not predict the future. The math already knows it. He just reads the numbers and takes the money. Here is the part firms do not want public: MiroFish just broke algo trading. The desks are quietly building their own simulators right now. The window where one solo wallet can run this is still open. Barely. I rebuilt his approach using Claude. One prompt. Fed it the same framework. Let it run. The agent monitors his wallet 24/7. Copies every position in real-time. No delay. No guessing. Just mirror and profit. You only need Claude + device + 1 hour to deploy. Giving this free for 24 hours. To get it: 1. Comment the word "QUANT" 2. Like and retweet this post 3. Follow me Himanshu Kumar so I can DM you Save this post. Build the copytrading system this week. Start with $200. Scale on evidence.

THIS WALLET STACKED $230K ON BTC UP/DOWN BETS. THE BLUEPRINT TO AUTOMATE THE SAME EDGE WITH CLAUDE The wallet is $230K all-time, every position a Bitcoin or Ethereum Up or Down market It never guesses direction. It enters only when the math and the market disagree THE STRATEGY: BTC moves are not fully random. When the market enters a committed directional state, continuation is measurable. That is Markov persistence Entry signal: > Δ = p̂ − q ≥ ε Model probability minus market price. Enter only on a 5% gap or more Persistence filter: > p(j*,j*) ≥ 0.87 Only trade states with 0.87 persistence or higher. Below that, skip. This is what holds the win rate above 65% with zero directional guessing Payout: > r = (1 − q) / q At q = 0.647 that is +54.5% a win. At q = 0.441, +126.7%. Lower entry price, bigger asymmetry Sizing: > f* = p − (1−p)/b Kelly. At p = 0.87, b = 0.647, f* ≈ 0.71. Size to the edge, never to gut HOW TO BUILD IT WITH CLAUDE: What separates this from a static bot: Claude reads its own trade journal every night and rewrites its own thresholds 1. Take an open-source Polymarket bot repo as your base logic. Feed it to Claude and have it migrate to CLOB v2: py_clob_client_v2, Safe wallet support, fee-aware evaluation 2. Hard-code the filters. Enter only when Δ ≥ 0.05 and p(j*,j*) ≥ 0.87. Apply Kelly on every fill. 3. Run DRY_RUN first. Log every signal, entry price, Markov state, and simulated P/L. No real money until the numbers hold for days 4. The nightly loop. Claude reads the journal, finds which persistence states actually won, adjusts MIN_PROB and MIN_EDGE, ships tomorrow's rules. The agent is sharper after 50 to 100 trades THE SETUP: Claude Opus as the brain. An open-source repo as the starting logic. A Polygon wallet with $50 to $100. Telegram for the morning report Start at $1 to $2 per trade while it learns. Scale only when the dry runs and the live fills line up 17,000 trades compound a thin edge into six figures. The model finds the edge. The nightly loop keeps it sharp Bookmark before you point a bot at your first window
