How Does Strategyquant Work

StrategyQuant uses genetic algorithms to randomly generate trading strategies and evolve them over multiple generations to find more profitable strategies. It starts with an initial population of randomly generated strategies using various indicators and logic. The best performing strategies are used to breed a new generation by combining rules and parameters. This process imitates evolution to result in strategies that achieve better performance over time. StrategyQuant backtests strategies over historical market data to evaluate their profitability and select parents for the next generation.
