Platform Guide

A step-by-step guide to using the QUANT OS research desk to build, validate, and monitor your strategies.

1. Ideate

Start in the Research tab. Use the AI Strategy Collaborator to brainstorm ideas. You can describe a concept like "mean reversion on tech stocks" and the AI will suggest specific rules.

Pro Tip
Use the Generate Ideas button to see region-specific templates tailored to the current market regime.

2. Build

Define your Entry, Exit, and Stop-Loss rules using plain-text expressions. We support 30+ indicators including EMAs, RSI, MACD, and Bollinger Bands.
