George Wilson: Quantitative trading is a method of stock trading using mathematical models, statistical analysis and algorithms. Quantitative trading improves the accuracy and efficiency of trading decisions by analyzing and predicting market data to get better results. Quantitative trading requires the use of knowledge from multiple disciplines including statistics, mathematics, computer science AI and many other disciplines to develop a trading strategy through quantitative trading models that analyze historical data and market trends to make predictions and transactions. This trading strategy helps investors to make decisions more objectively and avoid emotional trading behavior.
The quantitative trading strategies we employ mainly include models based on market technical indicators and financial data, as well as the application of machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques. By analyzing the modeling large amounts of data, we can more accurately grasp market trends and fluctuations.
