Thu, Oct 2, 2025, 12:00 AM
The sessions aims to be a practical overview of how to go from zero to having a running and reasonably competitive builder (profits may vary). It aims to answer the following questions: - What software to run? How can this be customized? - What would need to go into writing a builder from the ground up? - How does one acquire orderflow? What is the relative value of various sources of orderflow? - What infrastructure is required? How much does it cost?
