Quant overview

The quant section is the toolbox you reach for when the descriptive panels don't answer your question. Run a regression, simulate a thousand price paths, fit a GARCH vol model, look at the correlation structure across the universe. Two pages cover all eight panels.

When to reach for a stat model

Quant tools answer specific questions. They don't replace the descriptive panels, you don't openREGR instead of looking at a chart, you open it when you need a number you can't eyeball off the chart. Common cases:

  • "What's BTC's rolling 30-day beta to the S&P?", regression with rolling-beta output.
  • "If I run my position through 10,000 GBM paths over the next week, what does the P&L distribution look like?", Monte Carlo.
  • "How much should I size this trade given my edge and bankroll?", Kelly criterion.
  • "What does the correlation structure across the top 20 coins look like right now?", correlation matrix.
