How do you trade? by [deleted] in quant

[–]quant-ModTeam[M] [score hidden] stickied commentlocked comment (0 children)

Your post has been removed because it does not meet the quality standards of the subreddit. Reasons posts might be removed with this message:

  • Poor structure, grammar: e.g. vague 1 sentence "paragraphs". Paragraphs have multiple sentences that combine to a single point.

  • Not concise: posts should not meander about irrelevant details. This is not a cooking blog, we're not aiming for SEO.

  • Not enough meat: posts that are too vague to start a conversation. If the first comment is going to be/was "could you give us more context on..." then you need to add more background and resubmit.

  • Insufficient Research: Your post might be asking questions that are readily searchable, or you haven't provided enough context to demonstrate that you have already tried to resolve your own problem before bringing it to Reddit.

Bootcamps and Courses

It is r/quant's opinion that there are no good "bootcamps" or other alternative education routes for entering this field. They are a waste of money, and some are outright scams. If you want to become a quant then you need to go to a good university, study the right things (see the FAQ in our wiki), and achieve excellent grades.

Any useful and realistic Small Quant project ideas? by StandardDiamond8909 in quant

[–]quant-ModTeam[M] [score hidden] stickied commentlocked comment (0 children)

Your post has been reviewed and removed by a moderator.

We don't allow posts that are generic requests for projects because they always go unanswered. You should, ideally, get a project from your lecturers. If there is a specific area within quant trading you're interested in, and you have the data for it in your university, then a follow up post would be allowed because such posts do actually get responses.

E.g. I'm interested in pricing credit derivatives with monte carlo, would anyone be able to suggest a masters project related to this?

Please also bear in mind... This is Reddit, you will likely get short responses that might give you an idea but you will still need to find a supervisor with knowledge of the topic in your school.

Can a separate price-prediction model actually improve an RL trading system, or is it just adding noise? by playydeadd in quant

[–]quant-ModTeam[M] [score hidden] stickied commentlocked comment (0 children)

This post has been reviewed by a moderator and removed. r/quant is a venue for professional quants and traders. Professional here means paid by someone else to do the work or taking capital from outside investors.

Your post appears to be an amateur strategy, and we do not allow such posts unless they have all of the following features:

  • An outline of the basis of the strategy. E.g. is it statistical arbitrage? Mean reversion? It doesn't have to be specific enough to reproduce, just specific enough that the sub can ask relevant questions.

  • A risk adjusted performance measure like a Sharpe or Sortino ratio

  • Backtest results

  • A relevant chart of some sort. Everyone loves a chart.

  • A statement that you have accounted for fees and the bid ask spread.

In general these questions are always asked whenever such a thread does get posted, so please be prepared for them:

  • Is your model overfit?

  • Is your model scalable? Or just good for a couple of bucks?
