Quantpedia review

Educational only — not financial or investment advice.

An encyclopedia of quant strategies distilled from academic research: 900+ premium entries with performance characteristics, source papers, and hundreds of out-of-sample backtests with Python code. It sits at the opposite end of the stack from everything else here — no charts, no execution, just tested ideas and the evidence behind them. For strategy research it's hard to beat; it will never place a trade for you.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Strategies come from published academic research with sources linked, not from a vendor's marketing page
  • Out-of-sample backtests with code are exactly the evidence standard this site keeps asking for
  • A free tier of strategies exists before the paywall

Cons

  • Premium is a real research budget (~$449/quarter or ~$599/yr) aimed at serious quants
  • Published anomalies decay; a documented edge is not a guaranteed live one
  • Research only — implementing, testing and executing a strategy is entirely on you
