Many people think that data analysis platforms are just places to pile up metrics. Actually, this is a misunderstanding.



The true value does not lie in the number of metrics, but in the ability to find those truly useful Alpha signals. The current industry situation is that most data platforms are adding more and more metrics—hundreds of them stacked together. But the problem is, this approach is more likely to be drowned out by noise.

Long-term effective Alpha tools are actually just a few. The rest? They are just noise signals. Instead of blindly pursuing more and more comprehensive data, it’s better to develop a precise and specialized analysis toolkit that genuinely helps traders find opportunities in the market. This is the core competitiveness of a data platform.

That's right. Most platforms nowadays are just a pile of indicators, and it's better to focus on a few accurate signals. Too much noise makes it hard to find genuine Alpha, which is really frustrating. Instead of relying on a hundred useless indicators, it's better to have three that are truly effective—that's the way to go. Having many indicators isn't necessarily good; what's important is whether they can help me make money. Being precise and specialized is definitely better than being broad and comprehensive. Finally, someone said it.

I don't know if it's about being sharp or not, but I feel more confused the more platform metrics I use. Hundreds of indicators piled together, can you really find Alpha? It feels like they're just digging pits for the newbies.

You're right, the only truly profitable signals are those few, everything else is just to trap rookies. --- Having too many indicators can be confusing; it's better to target precisely. --- Exactly, these platforms love to pile up data and fool beginners; in reality, they just have a lot of junk signals. --- That's what I want to hear—less is more, everyone. --- Alpha is really scarce; don't get led astray by a bunch of flashy indicators. --- The core competitive advantage is the ability to filter and eliminate noise; that's the hard part. --- Agreed, I was annoyed by a bunch of indicators before, so I simplified my toolset in the end. --- Precision and specialization hit the mark; most of what's on the market is just pseudo-demand piling.

That's right, I was previously overwhelmed by those indicator libraries, and a bunch of data actually made it hard to see the direction clearly. Precision beats quantity; there's nothing wrong with that logic. There are actually very few indicators used by truly profitable traders; most are refined through countless trials. Don't be fooled by the volume of data; the key is signal quality. By the way, which platform is really doing subtraction now?

Having more indicators is useless; the key is to have real alpha... Most platforms are just stacking and full of noise. --- Finally, someone has broken through this barrier. --- The difference between being skilled and unskilled is huge. Those who have used hundreds of indicators should understand this feeling, right? --- I agree with this theory, but in actual trading, who really only uses those few indicators? --- Signal-to-noise ratio is the key, but unfortunately, most people still believe that more data is better. --- Can't keep up anymore; it's time to return to the basics... Minimalist data is acceptable. --- That's true, but which are the few truly alpha-generating tools? That's the real question. --- It sounds good, but where's the implementation? How exactly do you filter out the truly useful signals? --- Capital wants more, so having many indicators makes it easier to sell... It's a confrontation between genuine needs and business models. --- I think this approach also applies to on-chain data analysis. Stop stacking so many link data.
