How we work

01

No advice, no signals

Methods and tools, never "buy this." There are no trade ideas here.

02

Costs always modelled

A result that only survives at zero cost is not a result.

03

Every trial counted

The number of variants tested is part of the result, not a footnote.

04

Approximations disclosed

If a number is an estimate, the tool says so on screen.

Educational tools, not investment advice. Quant for Free provides statistical diagnostics and educational material on strategy validation. Nothing here recommends any security, strategy, or trade, or predicts performance. Simulated results do not guarantee future outcomes. See the full disclaimer.
