Introduction

Welcome to QuantMage. This guide introduces the core terms and concepts you will see throughout the product, so you can get started more quickly and use the platform with confidence.

A spell is your investment formula: an algorithm or strategy that you can backtest on historical data and deploy for live trading.

Backtesting lets you test your spell on historical data so you can evaluate past performance and refine the strategy.

Every spell is built from components such as If/Else, Weighted, and others. These building blocks are called incantations.

Grimoire is QuantMage’s editor and backtesting engine, where spells are created and tested.

When you are ready to use a spell in the real world, it is time to cast. In QuantMage, casting means automated trading based on your spell.

Start with this tutorial. Then review the available incantations and technical indicators. If you prefer examples, explore our collection of sample strategies here.

We hope this helps you get oriented and make the most of QuantMage.
