My Crypto Quant Journey: From 0 to 200k/month (And why I was silent for such a long time)
It’s been a while since my last post here — 9 months or so? But I thought it's finally time to get back in the saddle.
So what happened?
I (purposely) cut out all distractions. No more social, no noise. I wanted to focus on building 100%.
As much as I loved to create content here, I am convinced that it was the right call.
So here's what I did: End of last years, I started building a crypto quant trading system. My goal is ambitious: 200k/month in profit.
Why 200k? Well, it's a number that reflects freedom, success, and proving to myself that I can scale something to the extreme.
But I am definitely not there yet.
Although I’ve been working like crazy for the entire time —> No constant profits yet. Thousands of backtests, working day and night, AI sessions, and thousands of lines of logs.
So yep, I’m not yet where I want to be, but I’ve built a massive fundament: technically, in knowledge, and in experience. Enough to continue in public.
This time, my content will be different. Less about signals, more about the journey. About what I’m trying to build, the mistakes, the breakthroughs, and the raw process of turning an idea into something real. No shiny profit, but the real struggle no one talks about.
I’d love it if you join me on this journey. I hope you’ll find value in watching me either make it or fail trying.
Much love,
Ben
