Quantitative trading (aka algorithmic trading) has made many millionaires and several quant trading funds have shown remarkable success.

Quantitative trading is a type of investing strategy that uses mathematical models and algorithms to make decisions.

Quant traders use powerful computers to analyze large volumes of data, such as historical price trends or financial indicators. The goal is to identify patterns or relationships that can predict future price movements, and the system can make trades automatically based on these predictions. In essence, quant trading is a high-tech, data-driven approach to investing, offering the potential to find profitable opportunities that might be missed by human traders.

1. Taking away human emotions and errors of trading.

2. Increase of speed in the action of execution to the market as well as the possibility to test strategies using Backtesting and paper-trading in a simulated manner.

3. Algorithmic trading allows traders to diversify themselves across many accounts, strategies, or markets at any given time. The act of diversification will spread the risk of different market instruments and hedge them against their losing positions.

4. Making trading automatically using quant trading decreases the operational costs of performing large volumes of trade in a short period of time.

5. Automation in the allocation of assets, keeping a consistent discipline in trading, and faster execution.

1. Constant monitoring of strategies can be stressful for some traders, as human control is reduced in automated trading. However, HORIZON's advanced monitoring systems and multi-level risk management ensure continuous oversight, so you don't have to worry about unexpected issues.

2. Automated trading requires substantial initial investment in infrastructure, such as software and servers. We use own unique algorithmic strategies and powerful computers, capable of executing trades 1500 times faster than the average trader, eliminating the need for individual infrastructure investments.

3. Algorithms may sometimes fail due to unexpected market conditions or technical issues. At HORIZON, all strategies are rigorously tested, and powerful computational systems with fallback mechanisms are in place to handle unforeseen events and ensure consistent operation.

4. Limited human oversight in decision-making may lead to anxiety for traders. With HORIZON, every decision is backed by data-driven, market-neutral algorithms, providing reliability and reducing the need for human intervention.

Arbitrage is an investment strategy that seeks to profit from price discrepancies in different markets or instruments. It involves buying an asset at a lower price in one market and selling it at a higher price in another, capitalizing on the price difference. The strategy is considered low-risk as the transactions are typically executed simultaneously, minimizing exposure to market fluctuations.

Arbitrage exists because financial markets are not perfectly efficient. Price discrepancies occur due to various reasons, and arbitrageurs take advantage of these inefficiencies to make profits. Here are some key reasons why arbitrage exists:

• - Market inefficiencies
• - Geographical differences
• - Latency in price updates
• - Exchange rate fluctuations
• - Regulatory differences
• - Market participant behavior
• - Liquidity disparities
