This lesson is a part of the course Quantitative Trading Strategies in R
Quantitative trading involves developing and executing trading strategies based on quantitative research. The quants traders start with a hypothesis and then conduct extensive data crunching and mathematical computations to identify profitable trading opportunities in the market. The most common inputs to these mathematical models are the price and the volume data, though other data inputs are also used. Traders who develop these quant-based trading strategies and execute these strategies are called quant traders.
