Mariner Backtesting - Getting Started

CloudQuant is a system for effectively creating and testing trading ideas. CloudQuant simulates the market so that you can test your idea before risking any real money. This is the same system that Kershner uses to build its own trading models.

With CloudQuant, you can build real models that focus on intraday strategies. The system makes it easy for you to develop, test, and run models. To facilitate this, the same model that is used in backtesting in CloudQuant can also be used in forward and live. CloudQuant is also able to handle micro structure issues and has access to analytic libraries.

Remember that CloudQuant is not designed for high frequency. Rather, it is best used for intraday trading. The system expects the user to start flat and end flat.
