Quant from Scratch

A free course on the maths and methods behind testing a trading idea, from coin flips to a backtest you can defend. Most steps have you try the idea on simulated data before they explain it.

    About

    Quant from Scratch is written and published by QuantWright, which makes backtesting software. It is education, not financial advice, and no lesson tells you what to trade.

    Every chart runs on made-up data from a fixed seed, so every number on the page can be checked. Each course has a glossary and a formula sheet.
