To put it simply, quant trading is a process of utilizing one’s investment philosophies and strategies by means of computer technologies and certain mathematic models.
Instead of relying on one’s personal feelings to manage assets, quant trading relies on mathematical computations and statistics to form quantitative models and to process information through computers in order to achieve automatic or semi-automatic trading.
Open Moomoo (version 12.8.10408 or above) in Windows and click the Quant tab on the left.
The interface is designed to be easy. You don’t need to program by yourself in the whole process. All it takes is a few simple steps of clicking and dragging to set up a quant trading strategy and carry out backtest and live trading.
The onboarding task will be initiated once you click the Quant tab for the first time.
All you need is a Condition and an Operation to establish a simple strategy. The strategy includes 2 important elements: what condition to meet and what operation to execute.
For example, in the onboarding task, the strategy will determine whether a golden cross occurs in the MACD of Trigger Symbol 1.
If yes, a market order of 5,000 board lots will be placed; if no, no operation will be executed.
Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD): MACD measures the divergence or convergence between two moving averages. It's considered a momentum indicator that can help spot changes in the strength, direction, and duration of a price trend.
Losses can happen more quickly with quant and algorithmic trading compared to other forms of trading. Trading financial markets are inherently risky. Thus, an important component of quantitative trading systems is risk management. Risk is essentially anything that can interfere with the successful performance of a quantitative trading system. In the market, quants face different types of risks. There is, of course, market risk, which means that price changes of underlying financial assets can be fast and dynamic such that losing trades are generated. But this is not the only risk quants are exposed to. There is also capital allocation, technology risk, broker risk, and even personality risk (but this can be mitigated with automation). Automatic investment strategies do not ensure a profit or protect against losses.
