Looks cool! Is this being used in production by any prop firm/asset manager?

Not really appropriate to compare a market neutral product's Sharpe with the S&P. That said, Bridgewater hasn't done that great for awhile.

I think it's probably pretty pretty similar actually. I would say tech probably has worse median outcomes but better right tail outcomes than finance.

The world is a hostile place and everyone wants to drink your milkshake (including me). Don't think there's anything that can or should be done about it. This is how it's always been and this how it will always be: it's
