[Josh7 10]

Looking to learn more about Quantitative Analysis. Is there a good website or book that you could recommend?

ya thats exactly what I googled before posting this thread but unfortunately the few websites that I use only have the definition for it.

 

I found this one which gives a general description:10. Stock Analysis: Quantitative Valuation | Red Cat Journal

 

I was hoping to find a website that has more detailed information with examples. I'm probably going to see if I could check out this book from a library:

Quantitative Analysis is a myth. The job of a quant has little to do with directional trading. See here QuantNet Community

 

CQF from 7city is a great course for distance learning. You are likely to find 10% of what they teach as relevant to trading.

[SIUYA 11]

try googling "quant finance forum"

or try " nuclear phynance"

and who knows maybe more than 10% may only be related to trading

 

Be pre-warned though - these guys are maths geeks. (not there is anything wrong with that), and they will argue over it all day. There is some great info there - it just looks at the world differently to many here, and a lot has to do with arbitrage, options, swaps, and models for portfolio.s

 

as a prelude into asking questions this is what you might get.....

Hi

Looking for some qualified opinion/advice on choosing a automated trading platform.

It should link to IB's API (most do I think) and go beyond to common technical analysis vodoo. All considered that I can't programm at all.

 

I want to be able to create my own math based technical indicators and apply more complex models. Those popular tradestation/multicharts seem very easy to build systems, but also seem limited to purely classical technical analysis and don't allow flexibility? Is this observation correct? Does this Easylanguage allow the creation of my own quantitative indicators or to put it in other words where can I type in my formulas??

 

Checked out Matlab, seems great but how hard is it to learn and also it seems much longer to build/test strategies then in those technical analysis platforms??

Thx and appreciate any qualified feedback!!

so unless you love your maths, read but be wary of the locals
