vibe backtesting

A casual approach to testing quant trading strategies using good-enough data, AI-generated code snippets, and gut feel for alpha. Less CFA rigor, more “let’s plug it into ChatGPT and see what 15-minute candles say.” Used early on to vibe-check ideas without investing in robust infrastructure or precise modeling.

Crypto Bro: “Yo I got this strategy that longs ETH whenever gas fees drop below median levels.”
Startup Quant: “Nice. You test it?”
Crypto Bro: “Yeah, did a little vibe backtesting on it — used some synthetic data and GPT to throw together a pandas loop. Looks promising.”

Vibe Coding

Definition:
When you open up ChatGPT, whisper "do it for me please" into the void, and pretend you're a developer while the AI does 110% of the work. You have no idea what’s happening, but you’re nodding like a proud parent watching their kid win a science fair they didn’t even enter.

"Bro look at this cool app I just built in like 5 minutes vibe coding."

Tennis Court Vibes

The vibe you get when you're walking on soil or a path with red stones that ressemble a tennis court.
When you walk with the bros and the moronic kid of the group sees red stones that remind him of a tennis court.
Ideally, Lorde's song Tennis Court plays in the background.

The moronic guy from the group was walking on the little red stones when he got the tennis court vibes.
