Your Quant Stack: Start Simple
Phase 1 — Calculator Foundations
Master the math before writing a single line of code:
- Pip & position sizing
- Risk/reward ratios
- Margin requirements
- Correlation matrices
Phase 2 — Backtesting
Use historical data to validate your edge. A strategy that only works in demo is a strategy that loses real money.
Phase 3 — Automation
Connect your strategy to a broker API (MT4/MT5/cTrader) and let the machine execute while you sleep.
