Crowdsourcing News & Topics in Algorithmic Trading, Quantitative Finance, …

Crowdsourcing is the internet model where anyone with a computer can be involved in an activity. At CloudQuant this is an opportunity for students, recent graduates, and career-changers to be involved in quantitative research and algorithmic trading. Anyone on the internet can use the free tools provided to create and prove that a trading algorithm works.

This is our CrowdSourced Trading Strategy Incubator. As a member of the crowd, we partner with you to bring your idea to market. This partnership is properly licensed so that you retain your rights to your strategy. When we both agree to the terms of the profit sharing deal, then we fund and run the algo you have already proven. Having a larger amount of capital results in a stronger possibility of succeeding in the markets. Your algo is able to run “At Scale” instead of inside the constraints of your own capital.
