Old Leek's Self-narration: Why I Choose to Use Quantitative Strategy to Speculate
The currency circle is like a battlefield, and human nature is the biggest enemy. I almost went bankrupt due to emotional operations. For example, during the "519" crash in 2021, I lost 6.4 billion in just 2 minutes, and finally relied on 300 million US dollars to cover my position to escape danger. The discipline of quantitative strategies can help me cut off greed and fear: In 2024, I sold 100,000 ETH, locked in profits by preset floating stop-profits, and avoided subsequent declines. The machine has no heartbeat, but it can hold the bottom line.
Speed determines life and death, and arbitrage is a matter of seconds
In 2023, when ETH fluctuated at $2,000, my quantitative robot completed thousands of transactions in a single day, with an annualized return of more than 15%. Manual operation? Too slow! Market opportunities are fleeting, and robots can buy and sell in 0.5 seconds, and understand every band. Especially in the field of DeFi, the model can automatically calculate the optimal return path - for example, investing 33,000 ETH in high-annualization projects such as Ether.fi (17.33%) and Puffer (18.93%), which cannot be done manually.
Hedging risks: From gambler to strategist
In the early years, I was heavily invested in a single currency, and the ups and downs were like a roller coaster. But the "diversification" and "hedging mechanism" of quantitative strategies changed the rules of the game: ETH fell 10% in 2024, causing me to lose 66 million, but the CTA strategy quickly made up for the loss in other trading pairs, and the overall return was still positive in the end. In addition, the band doubling function can gradually dilute the cost during the decline, and a small rebound can make a profit - not relying on luck but on probability, this is the law of survival.
Free your hands and focus on strategy
People in the currency circle lack time and energy the most. I once watched the market for 48 hours in a row to catch the rebound, but misjudged the market due to fatigue. The quantitative robot monitors the market 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and even when I sleep, I arbitrage in the ETH/BTC price difference. Now I give 80% of my positions to the machine, and I focus on the macro trend: during the market downturn in 2024, the robot continued to accumulate ETH chips, and sold them at the high point of this year's bull market, doubling the profit.
