Quantitative tools can be called a technical tool in the new era. Of course, at present, a wide variety of tools can not be completed overnight. Simple technical analysis can't bring ideal benefits in the end, and there is such a trend in quantitative tools at present.
In the past, the realization of technical tools also required developers to do it manually, instead of just clicking twice on the market software now. At that time, many people finally became rich because they found a signal. Many individual traders believe that the main reason why quantitative investment has gradually become mainstream is that the upgrading of exchange technology has brought about the overall change of market structure.
If we want to use a simple example to illustrate, the arbitrage of the exchange has requirements for the exchange market sending and order intervention. If the exchange does not upgrade, it may face an unprofitable situation.
Some people say that technical tools are compared to astrology. In fact, this statement is more extreme. Technical tools are very similar to quantitative tools in thinking. In particular, we can see that some complex technical tools in the later period have obviously had the shadow of quantitative tools.
If we have to investigate one or two things, it is nothing more than that traditional technical tools can't meet the complicated treatment, so everyone has opened up new crafts.
