Whether it’s stocks, bonds, options, futures or currencies, we have all experienced the seemingly endless contradictions and reversals of pundits, the strategy failures of “Trading Gurus” and the breakdowns of the chart indicators we rely upon most. We are conditioned to rely on subjectivity, when what we need most are objective truths to minimize risk and maximize opportunity. Quantitative Analysis, or Quant Trading has been out of reach of the retail trader and small family office due to the complexity of the method and the tools required - that is until now. In this book you will find a true compass, by learning a method based only on empirical facts and not opinion, to help you predict price direction. Knowing price direction is one of the single most important factors in trading success. Quantitative Directional Trading is a method and a set of tools contained in a cloud platform that you can rely on to show you the behavior of historical price conditions and help you predict their future movements. The Quantitative Directional Trading method helps us to get to this level of truth through a process of price mapping of hundreds of thousands of data points in the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100 and Russell 2000– to see under what conditions price is likely to behave in similar ways. This book explains a simple method & provides the resources that can be effectively used by the everyday Retail Trader or Family Office, trading full or part time, and used with existing trading strategies or stand alone, to better control risk and improve trading outcomes. It also provides an introduction to the QuantDirection Platform and the QuantFoundation.
