Hello All,
I am a programmer who is learning Python or trying to figure out the basics from Google at least, who wants to perform Quant trading.
Now honestly I am stuck at many strategies that I would like to try like using exponential regression, 12 month index for stock, calculating complex functions like R2 etc etc etc.
Now I understood there are two parts to it
- Financial understanding of the stocks like PE ratio, EPS, yield etc etc
- It's corresponding mathematical implementation , suppose I have a necessary raw data and I need to calculate R2 or EPS etc etc, how do I exactly do it and manipulate the data to be able to easily use it.

Hi Ray,
The PE ratio, EPS, and yield are all examples of fundamental data provided by our API. In regards to calculating R2, refer to our previous thread.
To gain an understanding on financial concepts and data manipulation, I recommend completing our Tutorials. For instance, in the Introduction to Financial Python tutorial, we cover pandas and numpy. Both are invaluable technologies for performing data analysis.
Best,
Derek Melchin
