FAQ

Common questions from engineering teams.

What markets and asset classes do your quant researchers cover?

Our researchers have experience across equities, futures, FX, commodities, fixed income, ETFs, and cryptocurrencies—both developed and emerging markets.

What trading frequencies do your researchers specialize in?

They work across all horizons: high-frequency (intraday tick data), mid-frequency (daily), and low-frequency (weekly/monthly) systematic strategies.

What statistical methods do your quant researchers use?

Time series analysis (ARIMA, GARCH, cointegration), regression analysis, factor models (PCA, PLS), Bayesian methods, hypothesis testing, and Monte Carlo simulation.

Do your researchers build machine learning models for trading?

Yes, they develop ML models including tree-based methods (Random Forest, XGBoost, LightGBM), neural networks, LSTMs, transformers, and reinforcement learning for trading applications.

How do you prevent overfitting and look-ahead bias?

Our researchers use walk-forward validation, out-of-sample testing, purged cross-validation, and strict point-in-time data alignment to ensure strategy robustness.

Can your researchers help with research infrastructure?

Yes, they build research pipelines, backtesting frameworks, data warehouses, experiment tracking systems, and reproducible research environments.

What's the typical engagement model for quant researchers?

Project-based alpha discovery, ongoing research retainer, part-time embedded researcher, or full-time dedicated quant research engineer.
