"Quantitative trading" sinks to retail investors, securities companies compete to layout T0 algorithm services.

Quantitative trading is taking off the "aloof mask" and moving towards ordinary investors. Recently, Zhongtai Securities announced that its Qi Futong T0 algorithm app has officially launched. Prior to this, more than 20 securities firms such as Tianfeng Securities, CMB Securities, and Shanxi Securities have introduced T0 algorithm services in their respective apps. By capturing stock price fluctuations and spreads at high frequencies, securities T0 algorithm services not only open up the space for investors to "reduce costs and increase profits", but also create a new channel for securities firms to increase commission income. However, institutional professionals remind that behind the hype of T0 algorithms, there is a possibility of trading "loss of control" due to strategy failure in extreme market conditions. Ordinary investors should evaluate their risk tolerance reasonably, while securities firms should provide good post-investment services.
