# Quantitative Strategies ## **How to Activate Quantitative Strategies?** Activating a quantitative strategy requires meeting two core prerequisites: 1. **Complete VIP Quantification Application**: You must first submit an application in the [**VIP Quantification**](/cornwallet/vip-quantization.md) module and pass the review. This confirms that you have successfully established a copy-trading binding relationship with your chosen quantification team. 2. **Pay the Strategy Activation Fee**: Due to the uniqueness and high-yield potential of these strategies, each one requires a one-time activation fee (e.g., currently **1200 USDC** on the Arbitrum network). This fee serves as the threshold for accessing the strategy. Please ensure you have sufficient USDC balance on the Arbitrum chain. ## **Strategy Types & Fund Management** We currently offer two main quantitative strategies to accommodate different trading preferences and platforms:
### **1. Binance Strategy (CEX)** * **Trading Platform**: Executed on Binance (Centralized Exchange). * **Fund Management**: Your copy-trading funds remain in **your own Binance account**. The quantification team executes trades via the API Key you authorized. Ownership of the funds always remains with you. * **Features**: Ideal for users accustomed to centralized exchanges who seek profits from major coin trends. ### **2. Grid Quantization Strategy (DEX)** * **Trading Platform**: Executed on DEX (Decentralized Exchange). * **Fund Management**: You must deposit the funds intended for copy trading into a designated **"Vault"**. Vault funds are managed by smart contracts, ensuring high transparency. * **Features**: Transparent fund management; users can request withdrawals from the vault at any time according to the rules. This is the preferred choice for users seeking decentralization and greater control over their assets. ## **Activation Steps** **Step 1: Select and Activate** * Choose the quantitative strategy you wish to follow and click the **"Activate"** button. * Select the **Arbitrum** network for payment.
**Step 2: Approve USDC Allowance** * Click **"Check & Authorize"** to approve the USDC spending limit.
**Step 3: Verify Balance** * Click **"Check Balance"** to confirm your Arbitrum USDC balance exceeds the activation fee of **1200 USDC**. Ensure your balance is sufficient. **Step 4: Sign and Pay** * Click **"Sign & Pay"** to complete the activation process. **Step 5: Deposit (Grid Quantization Only)** * For the **Grid Quantization** strategy, after activation, click **"Deposit"** and enter the amount you wish to contribute to the vault. Your funds will enter the vault and begin participating in quantitative trading. ## **View Returns & Withdraw (Grid Quantization Only)** * **Track Performance**: You can monitor the strategy's performance on its dedicated page. Click **"Your Performance"** to view your specific earnings. * **Withdrawal**: Quantitative strategies have a **lock-up period**. Once this period ends, the withdrawal channel opens. On the strategy's dedicated page, click the **"Withdraw"** button, enter the amount you wish to withdraw, and confirm. {% hint style="danger" %} **Risk Warning**: Trading involves inherent risks. Past performance of a strategy does not guarantee future results. Please fully understand the risks and invest prudently. **Slippage Note**: Some slippage may occur due to withdrawals and the transfer of open positions. {% endhint %} ## **Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)** **Q: What are the benefits of depositing funds into a quantitative strategy?** **A:** By depositing, you receive a share of the strategy's profits or losses. If you admire or wish to support a specific trader, you can deposit into their strategy to access their trading methods. *Example Calculation:* If you deposit **100 USDC** into a strategy with a total deposit of **900 USDC**, your share is 10% of the total pool (1,000 USDC). Over time, if the strategy grows to **2,000 USDC** without other deposits or withdrawals, your 10% share becomes **200 USDC**. If you withdraw 200 USDC, you would receive **190 USDC** after deducting the 10 USDC profit share paid to the strategy holder. *(Note: Some slippage may occur during withdrawal and position transfers.)* **Q: My deposit balance is insufficient. How should I proceed?** **A:** Strategy deposits utilize the Perpetual Contract Account balance. Please go to the **"Portfolio"** page, click **"Deposit/Recharge"**, and add funds to your Perpetual Contract Account balance.
**Q: How can I view the performance of my deposited funds?** **A:** You can track the performance on each strategy's dedicated page. Select the **"Your Performance"** section to view your specific deposit results. **Q: How do I withdraw funds from a quantitative strategy?** **A:** There is a lock-up period for quantitative strategies. Once this period expires, withdrawals become available. On the strategy's dedicated page, click the **"Withdraw"** button, enter the desired amount, and confirm the transaction. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
