Could you build this?
Partial While the modular framework architecture and basic backtesting scripts can be vibe-coded, robust quantitative execution and real-time risk management require deep domain expertise in financial market microstructure and low-latency order handling.
What it would actually take: A production quantitative system requires a modular Python or C++ architecture with tick-level order book backtesting, low-latency WebSocket/FIX protocol connectors to cryptocurrency or equity exchanges, and deterministic portfolio risk calculation engines. The hard parts are slippage modeling, handling race conditions and network drops during high-frequency execution, and historical data ingestion without lookahead bias.
