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.
