An account, the map of what is on the platform, a first backtest, a first circuit, and where your work is kept. Nothing on this page needs a paid plan.

First step

An account

Registration is by invitation while the platform is in beta. With a code, register with an email address and a password, then confirm the address from the email you get. Without a code, join the list; a code comes when the next places open. The free plan needs no card. Every feature a plan does not carry stays visible: it opens, says what it does, and names the plan that carries it, so you can see the whole platform before paying for any of it.

The map

What is on the platform

Overlay and Builder
Four strategy families, mean reversion, momentum, crossover and breakout, on one ticker with indicator rules. The report shows the equity line, the trades, and the result period by period. Every plan.
Universal Builder
Every major indicator family combined by rule. Daily bars on the free plan; intraday bars from five minutes to four hours on Practitioner and above.
The Primitives canvas
Circuits of typed blocks, a data source, screens, a signal, a forward test, wired on a canvas and run on real history. The Library holds published circuits to start from; the Garden records what you registered. Every plan carries a working set of primitives; Practitioner unlocks the canvas; Research adds the factor lane, the routers and live deployment.
Validation
Walk-forward, Time Travel and Autopsy, the checks that separate a fit from a method. Practitioner and above. Running studies explains all three.
Models and modules
Market scanners across every family, regime analysis and the regime optimiser, the stochastic methods (Ornstein-Uhlenbeck, Kalman, pairs), the portfolio backtester, and the fundamentals and macro desk, on Practitioner and above. Factor models, the portfolio optimisers and the multi-strategy routers on Research.
Paper trading
Three lanes, Basic, Advanced and Stochastic. Positions are marked once a day after the close, never intraday. Practitioner carries 10 slots in each lane, Research 20.
Research studies
A hypothesis registered before the data is seen, walked forward window by window, compiled into a paper and submitted for review. The Research plan, and the same cycle on your own machine with QuanterLab Desktop.
The Knowledge Base and Quantin
Articles on the theory and the methods, with references, and a chat assistant inside the app that explains a step before you run it and reads your saved work. Every plan.

Ten minutes

A first backtest

  1. Open Overlay and Builder, pick a ticker and a family.
  2. Set the rule and the dates, and run.
  3. Read the period table before the headline number. A result that comes from one year is a different claim from one that comes from every year, and the table is where you tell the two apart.
  4. Save the configuration. Saved work stays in your account and appears under My Projects.

Quantin sits beside every module. Ask it what a parameter does before changing it; ask it to argue against the result after.

The canvas

A first circuit

Open the Library and load a published circuit. Read it before running it: every block carries a description and typed ports, and the canvas refuses a connection that does not fit. Run it as it is, then change one thing and run again. The difference between those two runs is the first finding you make here, and it is yours because you know what changed.

Every paper in the research library carries its circuit in the masthead. Opening it on the canvas is the fastest way to see how a published result was built.

Your record

Where your work is kept

Saved configurations and reports, projects, circuits and registered hypotheses stay in your account and follow you across plans. Moving down a plan pauses what that plan carries and deletes nothing. In Settings, Download my data gives a machine-readable copy of everything personal, and Delete account erases it within 30 days of the request.
