Could you build this?
No Autonomous quantitative research for hedge funds requires deep domain expertise in financial markets, access to proprietary/expensive historical datasets, and mathematically rigorous backtesting engines where hallucinations result in severe financial loss.
What it would actually take: A production version requires low-latency market data pipelines (tick-level feeds, alternative data), backtesting infrastructure that accurately models slippage, market impact, and transaction costs, coupled with an orchestration layer for multi-agent reasoning. The hard part is avoiding lookahead bias, overfitting, and hallucinated alpha signals. It demands specialized quantitative researchers, quant developers, and heavy institutional market access.
