People who think quantitative trading is super impressive and mysterious every day usually have a relatively low level of cognitive and cultural understanding. Let me be clear: the best quantitative trading firms are always low-key because that's the rule for survival. Have you ever seen people from Phantom Fund or Qukun showing off in public? Their hundreds of millions in income come with extremely strict compliance and confidentiality. Last year, Perp DEX farming returns exceeded an annualized 1000%—Lighter wasn’t the only one with 1000%+ returns. In every field, the most profitable players are often very low-key because revealing strategies is negative EV. On-chain PVP needs to be high-profile; copy-trading liquidity is positive EV. So, most people claiming their quant skills are amazing can basically be identified as noobs. Not saying 100%, but at least 99%. Back in the day, Li Xinye, the quant genius who made millions daily, ran strategies for three years, and ended up living in an A10 apartment near Central Park in New York—have you ever seen him talk about quant trading? He’s always chatting about wife-dating guides instead. P.S.: Li Xinye is from Tsinghua Yao Class in Computer Science, while Jin is from Jilin University, non-CS.
