Signals and backtesting & Regression & Research and validation
develop and implement quantitative trading signals, models, and strategies
Partial course support · Required
Research a hypothesis, implement a signal, translate it into positions and evaluate its costs and limitations. This is a broad research responsibility, not a single formula.
Learn Build foundations in data, modelling and validation before practising signals and backtesting. A teaching backtest is not a deployable strategy.

What the courses cover
Signals and backtesting. Practise supplied signals, positions, turnover and costs on teaching data. This does not supply trading-work experience or demonstrate a deployable strategy.
Regression. Fit and diagnose a small OLS model and compare later errors. This does not cover all modelling methods or prove predictive skill.
Research and validation. Practise research design and timing checks. Educational results are not evidence of a deployable profitable strategy.

Application eligibility
Active student pursuing a BS, MS, or PhD
Application condition · outside courses · Required
The employer specifies current enrolment in a quantitative or scientific degree and expected graduation between Fall 2027 and Summer 2028.
Learn Verify degree, field and graduation dates with the employer. Courses cannot replace this eligibility condition.
Check the employer’s rules for this condition.

Returns and percentages & Probability & Statistics and uncertainty & Regression
quantitative analysis and problem-solving
Partial course support · Required
Translate a question into quantities, choose a method, check assumptions and explain the result. Percentages are an entry point; they are not the whole requirement.
Learn Progress through numerical reasoning, probability, estimation and model checks. These courses provide practice rather than certify proficiency.

What the courses cover
Returns and percentages. Calculate returns on supplied price paths. A quoted yield is not a bond return, and these calculations do not predict future performance.
Probability. Practise distributions and conditional probability. These lessons do not cover every interview puzzle, stochastic calculus or advanced probability theory.
Statistics and uncertainty. Practise estimates, assumptions and uncertainty. A small exercise does not establish broad statistical expertise or validate a trading edge.
Regression. Fit and diagnose a small OLS model and compare later errors. This does not cover all modelling methods or prove predictive skill.

Python basics & Data tables and cleaning
Proficiency in Python programming
Partial course support · Required
Write functions, work with financial tables, test edge cases and make code reproducible. Professional proficiency needs broader independent practice than an introductory lesson.
