+## Project Status
+
+As a part-time independent developer working outside of academic or financial institutions, progress is incremental. Currently, my primary source of funding comes from the alpha I generate through market activities. My greatest reward is the community's recognition and the positive feedback I receive, including from the QuantConnect community, reflected in the number of stars this project receives. I welcome collaborations and am available for contact via Gmail or Medium.
