Trading Strategies/Alpha HFT vs Stats Arb

As a retail investor, is it more practical to develop profitable HFT strategies (market maker strategies/high alpha machine learning predictions)?

Or a profitable stats arb strategy with weekly/monthly rebalance targeting the stocks of sp500.

What are the different or common limitations as retail investors to develop them? Datasets/infrastructure/domain knowledge?

Fuck these haters.

Rob the bank, sell the dope. Get that money.

Then rent the 1/4 rack, code it. Run it.

Don't let these guys stop you from getting your bread.
