Quantitative trading, also known as quant trading, involves the use of quantitative methods and mathematical models to identify trading opportunities and manage risk. Traders employ complex algorithms to execute trades at specific prices or quantities, largely driven by data analysis and statistical techniques. This approach allows traders to capitalize on market inefficiencies and trends by analyzing large datasets to predict price movements and make informed trading decisions. Quantitative trading strategies often rely on automation, enabling high-frequency trading and rapid execution of trades beyond the capabilities of manual trading.
