Quantitative Cognition


And why I keep insisting on quantitative trading
1. Trend 2. Operates 24 hours a day 3. Frees up hands 4. Say goodbye to emotions 5. I have also participated in many competitions, the results are not too bad, but I tried comparing with quantitative trading and simply can't beat it. The final conclusion is, watching the market every day and daydreaming, if the funds haven't changed, then isn't the market entry for making money? Earning passively is definitely better. So no matter what you do every day, in the end, it's to see if your funds grow after 1 month, 3 months, or a year. As long as they do, I haven't spent any effort to achieve that.

Second: Most traders and streamers who don’t trade real accounts are just losing money and haven’t gone through the right process. Strong skills don’t necessarily mean a positive curve. The ultimate reason is still emotions, mentality, and self-control. And streamers who analyze the market but don’t trade are quite accurate; doing it yourself for a while is a common problem. The hardest part to solve is emotions, not skills. Actually, most streamers and traders are already highly skilled; technical 🟰 sniping is strong, mentality 🟰 wind speed, position 🟰 distance—none can be missing. Don’t waste time switching sniper rifles; it’s not very meaningful. All sniper rifles, without considering wind speed and distance, will be off.

Third: As for the issue of liquidation, black swan events, large single-sided trades, many people ask questions.
What I want to say is, before asking this question, ask yourself: how do you handle black swan events? The way you handle quantitative trading is how you should handle it. Your stop-loss in quantitative trading also stops losses, but after a loss, you might still get caught in a trap, like eating a needle. That’s something you can’t complete. Why do you think you can lose with quantitative trading and still win? Does the direction of quantitative trading necessarily oppose the market? What we can do is control risk more tightly—nothing more. Currently, my optimized quantitative system has backtesting, stop-loss, minimal base position, almost no liquidation. Can it execute every trade so strictly? Can you? That’s where most people’s thinking is distorted. Big players look at monthly returns and risk control, not at the speed of position turnover. I believe my low-leverage quantitative trading can also achieve 15-20% monthly return. The important thing is that my funds are growing while you’re still fantasizing about a single trade.

That’s why I choose to focus deeply on quantitative trading. Those eager for quick results naturally treat it as a tool for daily position flipping, but I only think it’s more strictly executed than I do. I know I can’t do it myself, so I let it replace me—it's that simple. So I plan not to continue competing on technical skills but to focus on stable profits and risk control with monthly returns. I don’t promote it because they don’t understand the logic. They will naturally come to me when they need it—that’s a matter of demand!
