Common questions from systematic investors
What quantitative trading strategies does Quant Buffet cover?
The library spans momentum, mean reversion, pairs trading / statistical arbitrage, carry, value and low-volatility factors, seasonality, and cross-asset trend following across equities, FX, futures, ETFs, and more—each linked to academic or practitioner sources.
Do strategies include QuantConnect or LEAN Python code?
Yes. Paid strategy articles include annotated QuantConnect/LEAN-style Python so you can study implementation details for cloud backtesting and live brokerage workflows.
How do backtest metrics like Sharpe ratio help?
Each article publishes annualised return, Sharpe, and max drawdown from our own engine so you can compare risk-adjusted evidence before opening the paper or Python. Practitioner ranges still apply: above 1.0 is solid, above 2.0 is uncommon, and CTA/trend often sits closer to 0.5–1.0. Backtests are educational, not live-return promises.
Is Quant Buffet available in Chinese?
Yes. The site is bilingual (English and Chinese). A single library unlock covers paid content in both languages.
Is this investment advice?
No. Quant Buffet is an educational research library. Strategies may omit frictions, capacity, and regime risk. You remain responsible for compliance and live trading decisions.
