Cta trend breakthrough quantitative strategy. Day 20. Yesterday the position turned into a short after a drop, and then it kept rising, which caused wear. Hope it keeps rising. #量化
Cta trend breakthrough quantitative strategy. Day 19.
Today a friend had a margin call on the alpaca contract. For that kind of trading volatility, according to trading inertia, if the direction is wrong and there is no stop-loss, it will definitely lead to a margin call.
The range has not yet broken through, and the quantitative strategy is still grinding. For friends in the crypto space, a 10% return in a month is a bit low. Everyone is eager for a hundred or thousand times return in a day.
The alpaca surged more than ten times in a day, how many people actually made a profit? The truth of making money: slow is fast.
Someone told me that my CTA quantitative profits are too low and cannot be compared to Martingale.
These two are fundamentally different types of quantitative strategies; Martingale is purely a foolish gambling strategy. I used to engage in Martingale as well, sometimes making up to seven times in a day, but it was useless—gambling strategies can blow up at any moment.
Moreover, Martingale cannot accommodate large capital; once you increase your position and get stuck for too long, if there's a rebound but you don't break even, you can only wait to die.
Additionally, Martingale cannot be used for the long term; it often gets killed by a single spike.
CTA earns money from trends, with risks much smaller than those of Martingale, gradually taking profits and cutting losses in a trend.
Profits can be made in both bullish and bearish markets, with no need to worry about liquidation.
In the cryptocurrency space, the most important thing is to cut losses and protect profits.
CTA Trend Breakthrough Quantitative Strategy. 16 days. As expected, after taking profits from a wave of trends, we are now entering a phase of consolidation and wear. I hope the next market movement starts soon.
Two big brothers, if you see this, can you withdraw it yourself? Your amount is too small, which will affect the order. If the order cannot be opened eventually, it will lead to losses. At least starting with 10,000 U is safer.
A Brief Discussion on CTA Quantitative Strategies. (Part Two) The second group suitable for CTA is individuals who have capital but are not overly anxious and possess a certain level of risk tolerance. In the cryptocurrency world, there are thousands of truths about making money, but I only believe in one: slow is fast. Making money in the cryptocurrency space and being able to hold onto it has never relied on quick profits; every example one can think of requires the accumulation of time. Some people say how fierce Liangxi is; at one point, with two thousand dollars, he made tens of millions through a short position. But how long did it take for him to lose it all? Recently, he has bounced back again, but how long until he loses it all again? It is undeniable that Liangxi has his unique trading style, but it is not suitable for the majority of people. Once you make money, you must be able to hold onto it. Money that cannot be held onto does not count.
Any trading method carries risks. Although CTA is a relatively low-risk strategy, it is not an absolute holy grail. The financial market is essentially a battlefield; to make money from it, certain skills and mindset are required.
The logic behind CTA is to chase rising prices and cut losses, earning money from trends. The risk is low because it involves multi-factor assessments for trend judgment, entry points, stop-losses, and manual interventions. During range fluctuations, entering positions following the trend can lead to stop-losses if the market reverses, causing wear and tear. When a one-sided trend emerges, it involves continual profit-taking and increasing positions. Therefore, CTA is not suitable for individuals with small capital who are eager to turn things around.
CTA is only suitable for investing, not for gambling. Only the money earned through trends and time can allow individuals to more clearly grasp this wealth. #加密市场反弹
A Brief Discussion on CTA Quantification. (Part One) So, what kind of people is the CTA strategy suitable for? First of all, it is for those who do not know how to trade. I have been trading for a few years, and I also started being fooled into trading with 100x contracts. At that time, I didn't understand anything; it was probably the new trader protection period. Around the Spring Festival in 2020, there was a wave of rising prices. I would open positions whenever there was a slight pullback, starting with a capital of 1000 USDT, and in two months, I made almost 100,000. At that time, I thought I was a genius trader. I felt inflated every day. Then came the pullbacks that led me into endless suffering. To put it simply, when I wanted to go long, I struggled to wait for the so-called support level to open a position, only to see it drop dramatically. When I wanted to go short, I finally waited for the so-called resistance level to open a position, and it shot up instead. Every day, I felt extremely anxious, trapped in infinite self-doubt and self-inflation, being pulled back and forth. I felt like I had transformed from a genius trader into a foolish trader. No matter what I did, it was wrong; even if I went against my own thoughts, it was still wrong. The most terrifying part was not the losses; the most terrifying part was after losing on a trade, spending a long time and a lot of energy to hold the position. When I finally broke even and made a little profit, I would close the position, thinking I could lower my cost and re-enter, only to see the market continue to surge in the direction of profit. My mentality exploded with frustration. This is what I understand and summarize from my own experience as 'those who do not know how to trade.'
Cta trend breakthrough quantitative strategy. Day 12. A one-sided market has emerged, and the returns have reached 10%. Cta just needs to wait for the market. Some people ask me, with such a big increase, you only made 10%, I can easily leverage a contract and multiply it several times. This is indeed true, but people in trading always have habitual thinking; when they make money, they feel like trading geniuses, and when they lose money, they doubt life. Even in spot trading, it's the same. Previously, the copycat rose several times and then fell several times; how many people got trapped? On another account, after 230 days, the returns have reached 80%, crossing through bull and bear markets, and there is sufficient capital capacity, which is enough.
Cta trend breakthrough quantitative strategy. Day ten. Although BTC has risen today, it is still within a small range. All positions are long now, and I don't know when there will be a big surge.
CTA trend breakout quantitative strategy. Day 9. After the position turned bullish yesterday, today's rally had already regained lost ground. However, the subsequent decline resulted in a loss. CTA can be very frustrating; if the trend does not break out, the range just keeps grinding.
CTA trend breakthrough quantitative strategy. Day 8, it has been ranging for a few days, and there has been no change in the market, but the position has turned bullish,期待多头突破。
