What it does
Qbot is a Chinese-language platform for quantitative ("quant") investing, which means making trading decisions with data and rules. It covers the whole process: collecting market data, writing strategies, testing them on past data (backtesting), practising with simulated trades and, finally, automated live trading.
Its focus is AI strategies built with machine learning, deep learning and reinforcement learning, alongside classic indicator-based strategies. It supports stocks, funds, futures and cryptocurrencies, and can send alerts by email, Feishu or WeChat. It runs locally, with a desktop interface.
The README says a little Python knowledge and some trading experience will help.
