Quantitative Trading

Quantitative trading uses mathematical models, statistical methods and software to analyze market data and execute trades automatically. The growing integration of AI computing power, AI agents and open-source financial tools has recently accelerated, while institutions including Goldman Sachs and Jane Street have expanded their quantitative operations. Trading has also extended into markets such as Bitcoin ETFs and the prediction platform Polymarket. However, the effectiveness of LLM-based stock selection and the practical viability of strategies such as capturing “overnight returns” remain under scrutiny. Key areas to watch include real-world implementation, arbitrage opportunities and risk controls.
