Here are some of the topics that you should be familiar with if youโre looking to get into quant finance!๐งฎ

The model shown (ฮ-Vol) is part of a broader series of Volatility Frameworks developed during my time as Quant Researcher at my current firm:
ฮ-Vol models Volatility as the interaction of regime conditions, reinforcing and stabilising market feedback and risk absorption.
It tracks how volatility pressure builds, propagates and unwinds across assets and horizons. We first started by first deriving it at an equations / mathematical level, then building up the framework from there.

Quant Researchers are hired to find solutions to questions that may come down from their portfolio manger for example.
There are no solutions that are found in papers. Academics publish papers as itโs a crucial part of their career. However in industry, researchers are funded by their place of work. Research is privatised for profit.
A quant researcherโs role is to develop NEW methods not found in public academic papers. Academic papers certainly play an important role, however a quant researcher would be rendered redundant if solutions were so easily and directly extrapolated from a paper.

Coding every PD array to determine its predictive value | Part 1: Order Block. In this series, we are going to code every one of ICTโs canonical PD arrays to determine its predictive value. Itโs become too common and too widely accepted for internet, trading gurus to say that trading confluences โworkโ without showing any statistical proof of their predictive power. I hope this series will change that, and capture the attention of retail traders who need it. #statistics #education #quant #quantfinance

Modern trading floors are no longer driven by humans.

At leading firms, ๐๐ฅ๐ ๐จ๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ก๐ฆ๐ข๐ ๐ฌ๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ฆ๐ฌ execute thousands of trades per second, powered by ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ญ๐ซ๐ ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฐ ๐ฅ๐๐ญ๐๐ง๐๐ฒ ๐ข๐ง๐๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฎ๐๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ and real time data processing.

The most painful chart in trading. ๐
โYour backtest has a Sharpe of 3.0, but your live account is bleeding? Thatโs called Distribution Shift, and it kills more strategies than bad fees ever will.
โIn this visualization, Iโm using Wasserstein Distance and Sinkhorn Divergence to mathematically measure the "Reality Gap" between historical simulations (Blue) and live market conditions (Orange). If these distributions drift too far apart, your model is broken.
โStop guessing if your strategy is overfitting. Measure it.
โ๐ Comment "Wasserstein" below and Iโll DM you the Python repo to build this yourself.

While everyone on Wall Street was chasing insider info and gut instinctsโฆ
Jim Simons did something crazy. He fired traders โ and hired mathematicians, physicists, and cryptographers instead. ๐ง
At Renaissance Technologies, he created a flat structure where geniuses collaborated โ not competed. The result? The most profitable hedge fund in history, powered purely by data, code, and math. ๐
๐ก Lesson: Innovation doesnโt come from following trends โ it comes from hiring people who think differently.

The philosophy here is that Mean reversion and momentum arenโt binary switches but instead a continuous gradation of rank. This metamodel focuses on the fact that optimal strategy tilt points occupy different regions of a continuous regime space -> this models the fact.
Component Breakdown (high level):
Red & Blue Points represent points where mean reversion & momentum dominate wrt regime.
Two surfaces capture Momentum and Mean Reversion factor surfaces respectively, with amplitudes higher corresponding where strategy dominates.
Green field captures the coherence between the two spaces, and the points (red or blue) that fall outside the green field are โforbidden crossingsโ. This is also used as signal.
The optimal tilt at each time t is found via the model (at the top) and a position is taken with optimal size, evolving dynamical for each time t. The bottom equity curve displays the performance vs buy and hold.

The single clearest signal of conviction is putting your own capital at risk. We trade our system. We invest behind it. We stake our reputation on it. That's not marketing โ that's alignment. And it's the most honest thing we can show you.

Math is exact. Econometrics is interpretation.
A regression doesnโt prove skillโit just fits a story to the past.
Give it enough time and variables, and it will always find โalphaโโeven if itโs just noise.
Take the Invesco QQQ Trust:
no valuation screen, no quality filter, no predictive thesisโjust โbe on the NASDAQ and survive.โ
It rode one of the biggest macro trends ever: the explosion of mega-cap tech.
Now run a FamaโFrench factor model on it.
The model can spit out statistically significant alpha.
But thatโs not skillโthatโs hindsight.
Hereโs what econometrics with only regression analysis doesnโt tell you:
It finds correlation, not causation
It measures outcomes, not processes
It can mistake survivorship and momentum for skill
Itโs backward-looking by design
With enough factors, it will โdiscoverโ significance in randomness
So when you see a high t-stat, remember:
it explains what happened under a modelโฆ
not why it happened,
and definitely not whether it will happen again.
