I tested the viral Claude Code quant trading strategy claiming 233% returns — and it got worse the deeper I looked.

In my last video I flagged the numbers didn’t add up. This time I reconstructed the entire model from scratch in Python, ran 240 parameter combinations, and found something hiding in plain sight on his own dashboard that explains everything.

This is not about calling anyone out. It’s about understanding what separates real quantitative analysis from a backtest that was tuned until it looked good.
If you want to think in distributions instead of emotions, this is where it starts.

📚 I don’t sell trading signals. I teach how to think quantitatively about markets.
