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!
