Question 1

What is Quantbots?

Accepted Answer

Quantbots is an extremely fast quant-bot trading platform. It provides a catalog of tested quantitative strategies, enables users to backtest those strategies themselves, and offers a custom strategy service for bespoke needs.

Question 2

Who is Quantbots for?

Accepted Answer

Quantbots is built for professionals in the quant industry—quant researchers, systematic portfolio managers, execution-led traders, and teams that value speed in research and validation while leveraging tested strategies or commissioning custom ones.

Question 3

What does "extremely fast" mean in practice?

Accepted Answer

It means the platform is engineered to minimize turnaround between strategy selection, parameterization, and backtest results, enabling rapid iteration cycles. Exact latency and throughput figures are shared during scoping based on your use case.

Question 4

What do you mean by "tested strategies"?

Accepted Answer

Strategies offered in the catalog have been evaluated before being made available. You can then independently backtest them on Quantbots to verify performance and fit for your requirements.

Question 5

Can I adjust parameters before I backtest?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each strategy exposes user-configurable parameters (e.g., lookbacks, thresholds, position sizing rules, or other tunables as applicable). You can modify them and run your own backtests to assess sensitivity and robustness.

Question 6

Can I request an entirely custom strategy?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Quantbots supports bespoke strategy development. Typical engagements include requirement gathering, design, implementation, and delivery within the platform so you can backtest the custom strategy yourself prior to deployment decisions.

Question 7

How does the self-service backtesting work?

Accepted Answer

Select a tested strategy (or your custom build once ready), set your parameters, choose your evaluation window/assumptions, and run. The goal is to make iteration cycles fast, so you can compare configurations and converge on what works for you.

Question 8

Which markets, asset classes, or data sources are supported?

Accepted Answer

Coverage varies by client needs. Since you can run tested strategies and request custom ones, supported markets and data sources are aligned during onboarding. Share your target universes and we'll confirm availability.

Question 9

Does Quantbots support live trading and execution connectivity?

Accepted Answer

Quantbots is a quant-bot trading platform and is designed to sit in a trading workflow. Specific broker/venue connectivity and execution details are discussed during scoping to ensure alignment with your requirements and controls.

Question 10

How are results presented to users?

Accepted Answer

Backtests are designed to return quickly so you can inspect outcomes (e.g., returns over time, drawdown behavior, and other common diagnostics as applicable) and iterate. Exact metrics and report formats are finalized per client needs.

Question 11

What about security, confidentiality, and IP protection?

Accepted Answer

We treat your research, parameters, and any custom strategy work as confidential. Specifics on data handling, access controls, and IP terms are covered during onboarding and, where appropriate, under NDA.

Question 12

Can I compare versions or run multiple configurations side-by-side?

Accepted Answer

Yes—Quantbots emphasizes fast iteration so you can run multiple configurations and compare backtest outputs to support evidence-based decisions on parameter choices or strategy selection.

Question 13

How do you prevent common backtesting pitfalls?

Accepted Answer

Quantbots is built to help you validate strategies quickly. Users are encouraged to run their own backtests and checks (e.g., across different windows or settings) to verify assumptions. Additional guardrails and controls are discussed during setup based on your process.

Question 14

What deliverables come with a custom strategy engagement?

Accepted Answer

Deliverables are defined during scoping and typically include the strategy implementation inside Quantbots, parameterization options, and backtest-ready access so you can evaluate and refine before any production decision.

Question 15

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

Share your objectives and target markets, choose from the tested strategies to begin, run your own backtests, and, if needed, engage the team for a custom strategy tailored to your mandate. This lets you move from idea to validated results quickly.

Question 16

What is the typical latency for trade execution on QuantBots?

Accepted Answer

QuantBots achieves microsecond-level trade execution through our global network of co-located servers positioned directly adjacent to major exchanges. Actual latency varies by exchange and location but typically ranges from 50-500 microseconds for order placement.
