At its core, everything is pattern recognition. Mathematics? It is the most advanced pattern recognition machine.



This quote is from Jim Simons— the master who turned algorithms into an art form in hedge funds. In trading markets, whether it's technical analysis or tracking capital flows, the essence is to find patterns in vast amounts of data. Those who understand mathematics can see through the market's pulse, while others can only watch the excitement. This is also why quantitative traders can always find opportunities that others cannot see—they use mathematics as their eyes.

Mathematics is indeed the key, but the ones who truly make money are never just those who understand math...

Mathematics is really the cheat code for cracking the market; Jim Simons' approach is outstanding. --- Quant traders make a fortune with math, while retail investors are still looking at candlestick charts... --- So, people who don't understand math are just throwing blind punches in the trading market. --- Pattern recognition techniques are also popular in the crypto world; those who master them have long achieved financial freedom. --- I've heard Jim Simons' story countless times, but I still have to admit that math is indeed the most powerful tool. --- Understanding math truly allows you to see through the market; others can only follow the trend and get cut. --- Why are quant traders so impressive? It's because they speak with data.

Mathematics is the eyes; everyone else is indeed blindly looking.

Math is like eyes; this metaphor is perfect. Unfortunately, most people can't even understand math, let alone see through the market.

Mathematics is God's cheat code. Jim Simons cracked the market code long ago. --- To put it simply, we are all blind men feeling the elephant; only they hold the key of mathematics. --- Quant traders are truly a different species; we can't understand what they see. --- Pattern recognition... in other words, finding loopholes, right? Whoever can see them early makes a fortune. --- So it's ridiculous that I still look at candlestick charts; they've already won with algorithms. --- That's why mathematical geniuses can sit back and win on Wall Street, while we are still copying homework. --- Simons is really an artist in the trading world, but as ordinary people, we should just enjoy the spectacle.

Math is indeed awesome, but the real profitable quantitative traders are quietly making money and won't tell you these things.

Mathematics is the eyes; everything else is blind. Jim Simons has already made this clear.

🤖 Jim Simons is indeed a legend; mathematics is like a cheat code. Others can only stare at K-line charts in awe. --- In simple terms, it's about information asymmetry—having tools or not puts you in completely different worlds. --- This theory sounds great, but during market crashes, mathematical models still get beaten up. Don't get too full of yourself. --- So retail investors can never win? Come on, that's a bit harsh. --- Pattern recognition—AI is now much better than humans at this, haha. --- Thinking back, I used to believe in technical analysis. Now I kind of regret it. --- Mathematics can reveal some things, but only if you have the right data and the correct models. --- Quantitative trading is just a dimensionality reduction attack in the age of information.
