聊聊市场

I trade, but I want to be honest about what that means right now: mostly crypto, some equities, and mostly on paper, not real money.

我做交易,但现在这到底是什么状态,我想老实说清楚:主要是加密货币,也碰一点股票,而且大多 是在模拟盘上跑,不是真金白银。

I have a folder of strategies and I'm still experimenting. I let AI generate and test them, watch what survives, kill what doesn't. I wouldn't call myself a quant yet. That word has to be earned, and I haven't earned it.

我有一整个文件夹的策略,还在不停试。我让 AI 去生成、去测,看哪些活得下来,把不行的淘汰掉。 我还不会管自己叫「量化」。这个词得靠本事挣来,而我还没挣到。

What I do have is a view. The market is a casino — especially the secondary market. Most of what moves it is noise; something like ninety percent is sentiment, people following the crowd, and a thin slice is the few who actually know something. You never really know what it'll do next, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something.

我有的是一个看法。市场就是个赌场——尤其是二级市场。推动它的大多是噪音;大概九成是情绪, 是跟着人群走的人,只有薄薄一层,是真正懂点门道的少数人。你永远没法真正知道它下一步会怎么走, 谁要是跟你说他知道,那他多半是在推销什么。

So the edge, if there is one, isn't a magic indicator. It's a sharp mind and first principles — actually understanding the thing instead of reacting to it. That's the real reason markets interest me at all. They're a clean, brutal test of whether your reasoning is right. The money is just the scoreboard.

所以优势——如果真有的话——不是什么神奇的指标。是一颗清醒的脑子和第一性原理——真正搞懂 这件事,而不是被它牵着反应。这才是市场真正吸引我的地方。它是一场干净又残酷的测验,专门测 你的推理对不对。钱,只是那块记分牌而已。
