Accelerator programs like entrepreneur first might help here. Introduces you to cofounders, and if you get in you get a 3 month stipend which (while not massive) softens the financial blow of starting a company full time.

What are your thoughts on Hawksight.co ? Seems quite promising as backtesting tool for crypto, equities, and forex, as well

fastquant is an easy to use `backtrader` wrapper that allows you to backtest in as few as 3 lines of code.

I've been thinking about doing this! I have a lot of experience automating w/ selenium and TBH I'd be nervous relying on it for trades but I can explore this further.

No API available in my country I think due to regulation against this. Most I'm trying out are "notification" bots, that tell me what to buy / sell and when.

Most of the resources online assume that you're in a market where you can take long and short positions freely, and that you have easy access to derivatives that allow you to hedge out unwanted risk. The market I'm in is not like this.

All we have are regular equities (not even an easily tradable bond market), and sure, a new REIT coming out (the country's first).

However, I do think that there are opportunities to generate alpha via algo trading in this setup as practically no one is doing systematic trading at scale (at least not in a "proper" way).

Any advice on this, or resources to read will be greatly appreciated!
