CS grad who couldn't get hired in tech.
Building an AI trading system on weekends.
Investing $200/week. Real estate next.
You have to start somewhere. 🚀

[Nick Sanchez @StartSumwhere]

I'm a CS major who couldn't
find a CS job.

So I stopped waiting
and started building.

Here's what month one looks like 🧵:

#buildinpublic #techlayoffs #algotrading

[Nick Sanchez @StartSumwhere]

Weekend 4 progress.

→ Institutional holdings added
→ Walk-forward validation built
→ LSTM neural network built
→ 52 features, 259,083 labels

Honest walk-forward accuracy:
2-week: 70.95%
30-day: 70.82%
Not the flashy number.
The real one.
Ensemble next. 🚀
#buildinpublic #ML

[Nick Sanchez @StartSumwhere]

Weekend 3 complete.

→ 10 years macro data added
→ 130104 insider records built
→ Data leakage found/removed
→ 258558 row training dataset

Accuracy:
Weekend 2: 55.42%
Weekend 3: 76.17%
not a typo

Building the edge
they wouldn't give me. 🚀

AAOI dropped 31%
in one week.

Bought near the bottom.

Still saw the signal.
Everything green.
AAOI dropping alone.

Cut the position immediately.

Lost 7%.
Could have lost 30%+.

Reading the market
matters more than
being right.

@Mindsetfx Created my first model today.

Trained on over 130k+ data points

Accuracy 55.34%

Not ideal yet, but this is the first model :)

Most influential signal that the AI found was: short interest

Not bad for weekend number 2🤘🏻

Gotta start somewhere🚀

@Mr_Derivatives Already put 300$ in today :) 200$ into nvidia and the rest into TSM.

[Nick Sanchez @StartSumwhere]

@DodgysDD Building an ML/RL trading system
that detects signals
most people ignore.

Evolves into a self
training RL model.

MRR: $0 gang 😅

But the data pipeline
is live 24/7 on the cloud.

CS grad who couldn't get hired.
Building the edge instead. 🚀
