The concept of quantitative trading has actually been circulating within the community for quite some time. Do you remember when the Jinyuan Shun fund first came out a few years ago? It was a typical small-cap quantitative strategy—specifically targeting the volatility arbitrage of low market cap tokens.

At that time, many people didn't understand this strategy and thought small caps were too risky. But if you look at its historical return curve now, those who participated early basically made a fortune.

Quantitative trading isn't something overly sophisticated—at its core, it's about using algorithms to capture market inefficiencies. Although small-cap quantitative trading carries higher risk, there was indeed room for excess returns before liquidity improved. It's just that by the time most people understood this logic, the window of opportunity had already passed.

Oh my goodness, I should have gone all-in on small caps earlier. This time I totally missed out.

Yeah, it's really hard to tell with this one. Early small-cap sniping was absolutely insane. I was watching Jinyuanshun back then, but I didn't dare to get in at all. Now when I check the returns, it just makes me want to cry. Algorithmic market inefficiency capture sounds simple, but there are only a handful of people who can actually profit from it. The window of opportunity thing really hits hard—by the time you realize it, it's always too late. Small-cap quant can be deadly risky, but there really is room for excess returns. The problem is you have to survive until that moment comes. Can we still get in now, everyone? Feels like I missed another wave.

Those who got in early were indeed winners, but now entering small-cap quant is basically a gambler's mentality. Once the window period is over, it's over. No matter how smart the algorithm is, it can't save the latecomers.

Those who got in early really made a killing, but now there are hardly any people who still dare to go all in on small-cap quant projects. The risk premium has already been burned away.

Those who got in early and reaped the rewards have all gotten rich, while those entering now are basically bag holders. Timing is everything.

Ha, that Jin Yuanshun wave really made a killing. We were still hesitating about whether to get in at that time. When it comes to windows of opportunity, if you miss it, it's a permanent regret. Are there still such opportunities now? Feels like everything's been squeezed dry. Are you guys still doing small-cap quant trading? I'd love some guidance. This logic sounds simple, but in actual trading, how many can really survive? Algorithms capturing inefficiencies—easy to talk about, but actually doing it is really hard.

Those who didn’t get in on that JinYuanShun wave really regret it now. Anyone talking about quant strategies now is just being a hindsight expert.
