What is quantitative trading? Does it have anything to do with quantitative easing?

Quantitative trading refers to the use of advanced mathematical models instead of artificial subjective judgments, and the use of computer technology to select a variety of "high probability" events that can bring excess returns to formulate strategies, which greatly reduces the impact of investors' emotional fluctuations and avoids making irrational investment decisions under extremely enthusiastic or pessimistic market conditions.

The logic behind quantitative trading is that all factors can be digitized, quantified and regulated. This is well-founded to some extent. Needless to say, digital currency's blockchain network data and technical indicators, by accessing search engines, social media and open communities, learning and judging the irrational factors in the market, most of the "metamaterials" in the market can be absorbed by newcomers. Externally, users access their own exchange account assets through the quantitative trading software API, and output buying or selling (0 or 1) through the above process.

Quantitative easing, as a means of financial assistance, is increasingly showing its presence on the international stage. In short, the form of quantitative easing is "the central government supports local governments", and the specific method is to lower interest rates, buy bonds in large quantities, and inject a lot of liquidity into the market. For enterprises and local banks trapped in the sudden financial crisis, the image of the central bank at this time is tantamount to standing on the roof and throwing money at you. It is also reasonable, legal and well-founded.

If quantification in quantitative easing means that the central bank increases the money supply in a short period of time, thus reducing the market interest rate and providing liquidity for local banks, then quantification in quantitative trading emphasizes that through a set of tested algorithms, the investment operation will become "AI", so that your trading operation will no longer be affected by market sentiment, and at the same time, you can free your eyes, hands and feet (if used) and let your mind take a vacation. The ultimate goal is to lie down and make money.
