What is Quantitative Analysis?

Quantitative (aka Quant) analysis is a research method that relies on math and statistics to understand market behavior.

Must I be a "Quant"?

Quantitative Analysis is a mathematical way to research and find "edges" or indicators of market behavior that guide your investing/trading strategies. So, everyone does a little or a lot expecting the more done will produce better results. Does your experience prove this?

What are the benifits of Quantitative Analysis?

Beyond the obvious influence on your investing/trading strategy, Quantitative Analysis can help you replace subjective factors in your decision making with more analytical factors. The presumption is that results improve with more analytic trading influence than subjective (emotional) trading influence.
