Greetings to all — or more precisely, to the QuantConnect community.

It may not be proper to make my first and final post in this way,
but I would like to leave behind one last question for QuantConnect.

I am well aware that what I am about to do may damage my own reputation.
It may seem petty.
But even so, I wish to offer a moment of reflection —
Because without doing this, everything I’ve said may simply vanish, unheard.

I have already let go of emotion.
What remains, you will find below.

I sincerely apologize for tarnishing this space for open discussion with a post like this.
However, I must ask:
Is this truly the path you believe you should be walking?

Perhaps I do not fully understand what you mean when you speak of your direction,
but as one who strives to walk his own path,
I hope you too will take a moment to look back upon yours.

With this, I offer my final words,

and quietly step away.

-In the hope that it may truly be seen, I leave it here as well.
mail.

Dear Jared,
I hope this message finds you well.

Not long ago, you graciously opened the door to dialogue. I shared with you a strategy, a few ideas, and a sincere hope for meaningful feedback — not as a transaction, but as a fellow thinker, grounded in mutual respect.
Believing you to be a leading expert in the field I aspire toward, I wanted to show you the full extent of my capabilities. I wanted to challenge myself, to grow, and to offer something of worth.

But I believe this journey comes to an end here.

I completely understand how busy your schedule must be. Still, after several weeks of silence — and the quiet disappearance of even the simplest acknowledgment — I arrived at one final reflection.
And I would like to offer it to you, not as reproach, but as a gift.

This message is not written in anger, but in clarity.
It is neither an accusation against you, nor a criticism of QuantConnect.
In fact, I am genuinely grateful. You made me more aware of my own strengths and gave me the chance to reflect deeply.
Even the excitement and hope I once felt were gifts, and I am thankful for that.
So now, let me share the rest of my thoughts.

You were shown every form of courtesy.
And yet, you offered no reply.
My words echoed into silence, and my waiting quietly dissolved.
In that emptiness, I came to see something deeper than words —
That even those who build systems of logic may, at times, forget the logic of simple human respect.

It is not a problem if one cannot offer a reply.  
But to close the door to communication,  
leaving sincerity to echo unanswered —  
is that truly the philosophy you stand for?

I write this as the final step toward closure. 
There is no longer a reason to wait, no need, no value — and, as your silence suggests, perhaps I never had the right to begin with.
The official silence from QuantConnect made that reality unmistakably clear.

I once believed we could accomplish something meaningful together.
I now place that hope and those dreams quietly within my heart, and move forward.
It was an honor to even imagine the possibility. And I’ve come to accept that perhaps, it simply wasn’t meant to be.

With my final courtesy,
A Passing Guest

P.S.
Ah, by the way — I’ve been working with your platform.
Of course, most of the code was written with GPT, but I must admit — it performed quite well.
And in the end, I suppose my strategy holds up.
Even after replacing some tickers, the result was a fairly solid passive structure.
You may never see this strategy, but I’ll leave a few notes here regardless:

Period: 2008–2025 (6,577 days)
Max Drawdown: 34.5%
PSR: 4%
Sharpe Ratio: 0.60
Sortino Ratio: 0.60
CAGR: 13.5%
Rebalancing: None whatsoever

Note: The above does not include dividend yield, which, due to platform limitations, remains excluded.
However, in my original version, the dividend income is exceptionally strong.

I will bury this piece quietly in my heart — along with the last dream I had entrusted to you.  
Farewell.

The period during which my voice, sincerity, and philosophy echoed —  
March 28 to April 16.



Once, I dreamed and walked this path with you — as a 19-year-old do-in(道人).
Now, I take my leave.
A Passing Guest.
