Embracing the Future of Investment: Discovering Opportunities in the Era of Digital Assets and Quantitative Trading.

Hello, outstanding students of the Diamond Ridge Financial Academy!  

I’m Charles Hanover, and it’s an honour to be here with all of you as we begin this journey to explore the secrets of quantitative trading. I hope that tonight, you’ll gain valuable knowledge and apply what you learn to your future investments, moving further and steadier along the way.  

Next, we’ll start with the latest market trends, analyze the current investment environment and dive into how to use quantitative trading systems to tackle this unpredictable market.

Today, the UK stock market is relatively stable. While volatility has increased, it stayed within a relatively steady range. The FTSE 100 index rose slightly, mainly influenced by a series of corporate earnings reports and economic data. Unlike the US market, which was closed for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the London market was open as usual, with investors remaining cautious, especially ahead of the Bank of England’s upcoming monetary policy decisions.  

Although some sectors, such as energy and financial stocks, have rebounded, the overall market sentiment is still affected by multiple factors. From a macroeconomic perspective, inflation pressure in the UK remains high, especially regarding energy prices and food costs. Even though inflation has eased somewhat, it’s still far above the Bank of England’s target, which limits the country’s economic recovery.

Regarding individual stocks, the energy sector was one of today’s highlights. Boosted by rising oil and gas prices, shares of major energy companies like Shell and BP posted decent gains. Meanwhile, financial stocks showed some resilience, particularly in insurance and banking. Some institutions are optimistic about their outlook, believing they’re well-positioned to withstand economic uncertainty.  

Tech stocks and crypto-related companies remain key market drivers at the industry level. With BTC and ETH prices recovering, crypto-related companies performed well in the London market. Especially with global advancements in digital currency technology and financial applications, some tech firms’ future growth potential is drawing more investor attention. These companies are benefiting from crypto price swings and making strides in cutting-edge fields like cloud computing and AI, becoming pillars of the market.

For individual stocks, Rolls-Royce's stock price hit near its all-time high today, which aligns with our expectations. I've been bullish on this stock since late 2022 and expressed my optimistic view. So far, the stock has risen over 600%, mainly because Rolls-Royce successfully transitioned from traditional manufacturing to an advanced, brilliant manufacturing company and seized opportunities from breakthroughs in the aviation sector.  

From a technical perspective, although Rolls-Royce's stock price near historical highs might face some selling pressure and could see a short-term pullback, we remain optimistic about its long-term trend based on its strategic development and industry outlook. Its ongoing innovation and progress in smart manufacturing will continue to support its stock price. Rolls-Royce's sustained growth in recent years also highlights the massive investment opportunities brought by the tech revolution.

Meanwhile, the crypto market has shown even more impressive performance in this tech wave. For example, BTC has increased about 7 times in the past two years, and SOL has risen over 16 times during the same period, boosting related tech stocks. We remain bullish on SOL's long-term potential. Its underlying technology, the Solana blockchain, offers high performance and low transaction costs, making it a standout in decentralized applications. Despite a short-term pullback, we believe buying on dips is still a solid strategy. The target buy range is $230–$245.  

Likewise, we're optimistic about Dogecoin. Its strong community and brand recognition give it a unique position in the market. While Dogecoin's price is quite volatile, its long-term value is still worth watching. A reasonable buy range for dips would be $0.345–$0.385. In short, as the tech revolution continues, picking cryptos with strong tech and market potential will bring significant returns for investors.

Many students have expressed confusion about why the crypto market has been so hot lately, becoming the focus of global markets and an investment trendsetter. In fact, as an investment type with both tech stock and currency attributes, crypto has been receiving increasing attention from investors in recent years. In the current global political and economic environment full of uncertainties, crypto has shown its unique investment value.

On the one hand, they can effectively resist the risk of capital depreciation brought by high inflation, providing stable risk resistance. On the other hand, as a product of emerging technologies, crypto has enormous growth potential, offering investors the possibility of high returns. Especially with technological innovation driving economic growth, crypto not only serves as a strong supplement to traditional financial markets but may also become an essential part of global asset allocation in the future.

It's worth mentioning that Trump was officially inaugurated today, which is undoubtedly a major positive for the crypto market. As a public supporter of digital assets, his policy direction is likely to optimize the regulatory environment for crypto further, promote market normalization and attract more mainstream institutional investors. This policy expectation, combined with market sentiment, will inject sustained upward momentum into the crypto market, making it the absolute focus of the current investment field.

Looking back at Trump's previous stance on crypto, it's clear that he has strongly supported the development of digital currencies. His remarks, especially his repeated emphasis on the "digital currency revolution," show his deep understanding of crypto. He not only believes that crypto is an important part of the future financial system but also sees it as one of the keys for the US to maintain its global economic leadership. The US government's enthusiasm for crypto and its foresight in this emerging field means we stand at the forefront of digital currency development.

Trump's team has already publicly stated that he will issue an executive order on his first day in office to overturn some of the restrictive measures on crypto regulation put in place by the current administration. Most notably, Trump plans to reverse the "de-banking" policy implemented by the Biden administration and stop requiring banks to classify digital assets as liabilities. These policy changes will directly affect market liquidity and capital inflows, bringing more financial support and investor confidence to the crypto market.

At the same time, Trump plans to establish a crypto advisory committee, giving industry professionals more of a voice and promoting closer cooperation between government policies and the crypto industry. This move will significantly accelerate the normalization of the crypto market, driving innovation and development throughout the industry. The regulatory environment for crypto will become more friendly, innovation will receive more support and protection, and the market's potential will be fully unleashed.

In addition to reforming existing policies, Trump plans to clarify crypto's legal status and regulatory framework through specific legislative measures. One of the most influential measures is simplifying the regulatory path for crypto projects in the US, reducing the uncertainty and complexity of complying with federal laws. This will not only provide startups with clearer business directions, but international crypto projects will also flock to the US, choosing it as their centre for investment and operations.

Trump's policies also include speeding up the approval of crypto ETFs and other financial products. This will significantly lower the barriers for institutional investors to enter the market, provide them with more investment options and attract a large influx of institutional funds into the crypto sector. This will not only drive the adoption and use of crypto but also further expand their market share as an asset class.

The US government is not just supporting the development of crypto; over 10 states have proposed more strategic plans to establish a national BTC reserve. This move will further enhance BTC's position in global assets and boost investor confidence in the BTC market through the power of a national reserve. As we can see, Trump's move is not only aimed at stabilizing BTC market sentiment but also hopes to solidify the US's leading position in the global digital currency field.

Implementing this policy will likely trigger a global wave of BTC reserve building and further drive the development of the global crypto market. In the future, more and more countries may follow the US's lead and join the construction of BTC reserves, which will undoubtedly bring unprecedented growth momentum to the global crypto market.

The debt issues currently facing the global economy have become a pressing problem that needs to be solved. Especially in the US and the UK, the continuous rise in government debt has placed many countries' fiscal policies in a difficult position. Against this backdrop, introducing digital assets undoubtedly provides a new economic solution. Through the tokenization of digital assets, capital flow will become more efficient, market transparency will improve, and new funding channels and solutions for debt crises will be provided.

Trump's policies are based on this vision of global financial change. He not only focuses on the price fluctuations of crypto themselves but also has a profound understanding of the long-term impact of digital assets on the global economic structure. His policies will help drive the global economy toward digitalization and decentralization, inject new vitality into the global economy and ultimately promote comprehensive prosperity in international markets.

The US government is based on this vision of global financial change. It not only focuses on the price fluctuations of crypto themselves but also has a profound understanding of the long-term impact of digital assets on the global economic structure. US policies will help drive the global economy toward digitalization and decentralization, inject new vitality into the global economy and ultimately promote comprehensive prosperity in global markets.

For investors, the arrival of the Trump administration means clearer policy guidance and huge investment opportunities. As the digital currency market thrives and capital inflow accelerates, the overall market value will continue to rise. For those of us on the front lines of investing, this is an excellent opportunity to seize this historic moment. Through precise quantitative analysis and flexible trading strategies, we will be able to achieve substantial returns in the crypto market.

From the current political and economic situation, Trump's symbolic meaning has gone beyond just the individual; he represents a group and even symbolizes the trend of cutting-edge technological development. His election as US president is closely tied to his firm support for artificial intelligence and the digital economy. Therefore, as a public figure, every public statement and policy release from Trump will significantly impact the market, causing sharp fluctuations.

For example, on Nov 5th last year, after the news of Trump's election as the 47th US president was announced, the BTC market immediately saw a sustained upward trend, hitting new highs and finally breaking through the $100K mark (as shown in the chart above). The market responded quickly and positively, with investors generally believing that institutional funds would flood into the crypto market under a more precise and friendly policy environment, further increasing its value. This strong market reaction to Trump's crypto policies fully reflects investors' confidence in the US government's leadership in this field and their strong expectations for favourable future policies. It shows that the market has closely linked Trump with the future development of crypto and is paying close attention to his policy direction.

So, Trump's inauguration undoubtedly injected new vitality into the crypto market. The US government's policies support the industry and position the US as a digital currency and blockchain technology innovation leader in the changing global financial landscape. With the rapid development of the digital economy, the global economy will inevitably move toward a more digitalized and decentralized future.

And today, as Trump officially took office, the BTC price reached a new historic high, which the market interprets as a positive expectation for future policies. This breakthrough signals that more policies supporting technological development, especially in the digital assets field, will be introduced after Trump formally takes office. These policies will not only further drive the rise of the crypto market and create more investment opportunities but also profoundly affect the future direction of the global financial system.

In this context, our Diamond Ridge team has seized the opportunity to use crypto as the main focus for the public testing of our latest quantitative trading system. This decision is based on two key factors:

First, the extreme market volatility allows us to thoroughly test the system's sensitivity, data processing capability and responsiveness to market changes. This provides valuable data for further optimization and upgrades.

Second, major market events, such as the policy changes expected under Trump's leadership, create an ideal testing environment to evaluate the system's accuracy and profitability in extreme conditions.

After years of development and refinement, this quantitative trading system has proven to excel in data processing, capturing trading signals and managing risk. We aim to achieve over 30% profit during this week's public test. This expectation is based on historical data and real-time simulation strategies run by the upgraded system in live markets.

I'd like to make a few requests to ensure the public test goes smoothly and provides greater profits for participants. First, all participants must open their public test trading accounts in advance and familiarize themselves with the trading platform. Understanding the system interface and operation process is essential for ensuring precise trade execution.

Second, I want to remind everyone that trading inherently involves risk. While our quantitative trading system significantly reduces investment risk, it's still essential to strictly follow the system's instructions to avoid unnecessary losses from human intervention. Simply put, aside from the trade signals provided by the system, please refrain from executing extra buy or sell orders. By strictly following the system's instructions, you can protect your capital and achieve larger profits during the public test while ensuring we gather more accurate data to help optimize the system for the future.

Additionally, I want to explain that there is some short-term pressure on the public test funds due to the number of sign-ups exceeding expectations. This is both a challenge and a driving force for our project team. From the system testing logic, the more participants there are, the richer the data sample, the more comprehensive the system's test will be and the higher the success rate of optimizing strategies.

In fact, batch testing is not only an optimized resource choice, but it also provides more efficient testing opportunities. By arranging tests in batches, we can comprehensively test multiple core indicators of the quantitative trading system, including the accuracy of trade signals, profitability, system response speed and system performance under high concurrency. This data will provide important support for future system upgrades, ensuring the system continues to perform well in more complex market environments.

Currently, under the name of Diamond Ridge Financial Academy, I am actively negotiating with the project team to add more public test funds to ensure the successful achievement of the public test goals. At the same time, I understand that some participants are not fully prepared to join the public test yet. Based on this, we have decided to split the public test into multiple rounds.

Specifically, tomorrow, the first round of the public test will begin with the first 2,000 participants who signed up. These participants have received a $2K public test fund and will be the first to experience the entire system trading process. As for other registered participants who have not joined the first round, please get ready for the public test. We will provide the same $2K public test fund for eligible participants and arrange for the next round of testing soon. During this period, all participants must complete their account setup and familiarize themselves with the trading platform to better execute the quantitative trading system's instructions in the actual test and earn higher profits.

For students who haven't signed up yet, I encourage you to join our public test plan as soon as possible. As long as you meet the public test standards, we will send you an official invitation and assist you in setting up your trading account. Getting familiar with the operation of the quantitative trading system in advance will help you get up to speed quickly during the public test and maximize your profit potential.

This public test is not only a comprehensive evaluation of our quantitative trading system but also a valuable opportunity for each participant to experience cutting-edge financial technology firsthand. I believe that with our joint efforts, the system's performance will exceed expectations, and you will gain significant profits during the public test while contributing valuable data support for the system's future optimization and improvement.

At the same time, I want to extend a special thanks to every active participant. We are at the forefront of financial technology development, witnessing and driving the rapid growth of an emerging field. I firmly believe this public test is just a brand-new starting point, and in the future, we will work together to achieve even greater results in a broader market, creating more investment value.

Through engaging with and learning from the quantitative trading system, I hope you will have a clearer understanding of future investment trends and discover more high-quality investment opportunities. Let's work together to reach new heights in investing and create an even brighter future!
