What you get
All of it, on day one
Part-Time Quant
The ten to read first
- Included: Build strategies without writing code: when to buy, when to sell, how much, where you get out
- Included: Start from a complete template and change it to suit you
- Included: Test supported strategies against available market history
- Included: Five checks for luck on every backtest, each with its verdict and the reason
- Included: Real trading costs charged inside the run: spread, slippage and commission
- Included: Limits you set once: per-trade cap, daily loss limit, drawdown stop, gross exposure cap, single-instrument cap, slippage bound
- Included: Trade it with pretend money first (practice trading; your broker calls it paper trading)
- Included: Run research experiments in the hosted workspace and review the results
- Included: The stop: one press halts every order, with no confirmation and no licence check
- Included: Build and edit strategies through the licensed hosted Claude connection (the MCP connector)

01
Write it down
- Included: Work from any browser
- Included: If the engine cannot run a rule, it refuses and tells you why. It never runs something close instead
02
Test it
- Included: History is fetched and cached from configured providers. Coverage varies by market, interval and date
- Included: Candlestick charts of real bars with your entries, exits, stops and targets drawn on them
- Included: Every run is stamped with where its data came from
- Included: Tested on prices it never saw (walk-forward): tuned on one stretch of history, scored on the next
- Included: The chance the result was luck (probability of backtest overfitting)
- Included: The chance the true score is above zero, counting every version you tried (deflated Sharpe ratio)
- Included: Part of the history held back while you build, then scored last (out-of-sample holdout)
- Included: Compare versions: the same strategy under two rule settings on the same past prices
- Included: Every difference between versions is traced to a recorded event. Nothing is sorted by return. The whole comparison is labelled a historical simulation
- Included: A library of optional checks from published research. Each one acts on your own strategy
- Included: Harder testing: purged cross-validation, a walk-forward degradation check, a cost budget in Sharpe units, error bars on your Sharpe ratio
- Included: Behaviour checks: mean-reversion half-life, a stationarity check, a Monte Carlo drawdown distribution with a ruin bound
- Included: Sizing: volatility-targeted position sizing, and Kelly sizing that refuses to give you a number when your data cannot show an edge
- Included: Regime and timing: market-regime classification from your instrument's real bars, stop-loss coherence, position buffering, rebalance-timing luck
- Included: Each one names the research behind it. Each one says what it costs you as well as what it gives you
- Included: None of them is a pre-built system. Switching one on is not a promise about returns
03
Your limits
- Included: Every order is checked against those limits, and against everything you already hold, before it goes
- Included: A budget per strategy (a sleeve) that can only tighten your limits, never widen them
04
Watch it work
- Included: Every practice fill is labelled simulated, everywhere you see it
- Included: Practice orders stay inside PTQ. No broker receives them
05
What happened
- Included: Performance over time: equity, drawdowns and their recovery, monthly and yearly returns, exposure, rolling Sharpe
- Included: All of it from a real backtest or your own record, none of it projected
- Included: Your worst losing stretch (max drawdown), measured with open positions valued at every bar's close
- Included: An order journal of every order and every refusal, never filled in for you
- Included: A review of your own record: what happened, why, what the checks said, and what to try next
- Included: Suggestions arrive as comparisons you can run yourself. Nothing is applied for you
06
Browser and Claude
- Included: PTQ is proprietary hosted software. The subscription does not include a downloadable full engine
- Included: Run backtests and validation, place simulated practice orders and use the research loop through Claude
- Included: Hosted PTQ has no live execution. Installing the connector does not enable it
- Included: See your signals on TradingView: a Pine v6 study export
07
Included allowance
- Included: Credits for compute and support chat, included in the subscription
- Included: Support chat that answers from the same documentation you can read

Money questions
Each legal page shows its status and effective date at the top. TermsPrivacy
How does billing work?
One payment of $997 in USD, through Stripe. It covers a year, with no seats or usage tiers to count.
Can I try it before I pay?
No. There is one plan, and nothing is issued before payment: no licence key, no credits, no product access. This site says what the software does and does not do, so you can decide first.
Why annual only?
Building, testing and reviewing a strategy takes time. The annual plan gives you a year of hosted research and simulated practice. It does not include live execution.
Is PTQ available where I live?
Availability is confirmed at checkout based on your jurisdiction. If PTQ cannot be sold in your region, checkout says so before any money moves.
