The First Zen of Quantification

This is not a story about "winning." "All conditioned methods are like a dream. Has your algorithm ever left variables for 'impermanence'?" Within the cold framework of the algorithm, he was forced to face his deepest emotions, desires and fears, and complete his spiritual calibration before issuing each trading order. When the market went crazy again, and when his former partners were revealed in the storm, he sat in front of the screen. This time, there was no racing heart, no shortness of breath. There is only absolute calm, which resonates with the cold and certain sound of the system prompts: "Just watch and guard." "The First Zen of Quantification" - a rare work that combines hard-core quantitative trading, spiritual practice and profound human torture. It does not teach you how to conquer the market, it discusses with you: when the world is in endless fluctuations, how can we protect the unshakable "quiet" in our hearts. Heart debt. This is not a "cool article" about getting rich or counterattacking. This is a profound fable about crime and punishment, fall and climb, bustle and tranquility. It asks: In a world full of noise, how can a person use reason to build a system, use suffering to polish his mind, and finally write a set of quiet algorithms for himself that can withstand all storms. (Dedicated to all those who are struggling between ideals and reality, desires and bottom lines.)
