Solutions for Generative AI Trading Strategy Development

Employing aggregated alternative datasets and machine learning to predict trading signals is not new. However, recent evolutions in generative AI via massive LLMs and powerful processing hardware have rapidly evolved the speed and accuracy of identifying market patterns and trends that were previously overlooked.   

The ability to access ever more powerful AI infrastructure, particularly cloud-based resources, has placed AI development capabilities into the hands of most firms, even smaller, independent traders.  Further, 

It is a well understood problem of market simulation…

…that signal identification and algorithmic strategy development does not automatically correlate with the ability of these strategies to execute successfully in markets.  Evaluating trading algorithms as to their realism, determinism, and automated modification at pace remains a challenge that stands in the way for widespread confidence and acceptance (but not necessarily use) of fully or mostly autonomous AI trading algos.

AI is becoming more independent…

…as evolutionary algorithms use design frameworks that continuously optimize strategies automatically as black box systems (sans humans). The need for better execution training will only intensify

A lack of systematic execution testing…

is tempering the speed, confidence, and performance of newly emerging AI-generated algorithmic trading strategies.  For AI platforms utilizing the vast resources of private clouds, legacy systems often are not easily migrated, lack cloud access, and are difficult to integrate with other legacy systems/processes.

AI models face an inability to iteratively train and assess execution success creates expectations that cannot be met in live markets, thus adding to the lack of confidence and acceptance of AI-generated trading strategies in the marketplace – impacting both alpha realization on millions/billions of dollars of trading revenues and financial markets investment in AI training and trading for cloud providers. 

The confidence gap is something that Quantum is uniquely capable of solving via a cloud-based, fully-automated AI utility designed for AI toolsets to programmatically request, installed, run, and release multiple simultaneous Quantum platform instances deployed into their private cloud without any human intervention, on-demand.

Quantum Use Cases for Generative AI Automated Trading Strategies

  • Compelling Rationale

    • Developers of AI-generated strategies require quick deployment of identified strategies without compromising on depth and breadth of performance
