Dear Quant X Tribe,
On 12 February 2026, Singapore’s Budget 2026 made something very clear.
Scale matters.
According to The Straits Times, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong outlined a plan to deploy $37 billion to strengthen Singapore’s position as a global innovation hub — including continued investment into frontier technologies like quantum and advanced AI.
Thirty-seven billion.
That is not a trial budget.
That is strategic positioning.
When capital is allocated at that magnitude, it signals direction:
• More computation
• More automation
• More optimisation at scale
• Less reliance on intuition
Now let’s bring this closer to home.
Most retail traders are still operating in a pre-automation mindset.
Manual entries.
Indicator stacking.
Chart watching.
Emotion reacting to every breakout and pullback.
We say we want an edge.
But we’re competing in markets that are increasingly driven by data models, execution engines and optimisation frameworks.
This isn’t about quantum computing replacing traders tomorrow.
It’s about understanding where the world is moving.
Computation is compounding.
The question is whether your trading process is evolving with it.
