What is Quantitative Trading?
Quantitative trading, often shortened to quant trading, builds and tests trading ideas with data, statistics, and code rather than gut feel. A quant defines a hypothesis, turns it into precise rules, and measures how it would have behaved across history. The emphasis is on evidence and measurement, not on predicting any single trade.
Why Quantitative Trading matters
Quant thinking reframes trading as something you measure and test, which is the foundation of honest research.
