I've been tinkering as a solo quant dev and built a trade simulation engine that uses real bid/ask data with 5-second candles to model executions more realistically than most backt…

This at least reflects my feelings about visiting anytime soon. I mean if I was just put on a flight back (for a tweet they found on my phone or such), that'd be kind of bearable. …
