Quantitative finance, by students, for students
We're building the Tübingen Quant Society right now: a student group for anyone who wants to know how data, models and code actually get used in financial markets. Join early and you get a real say in where this goes.
There are a lot of steps between lectures and practice.
It's quantitative finance and everything around it: algorithmic trading, machine learning, markets, market making, derivatives, crypto, and how people actually end up working in the field.
Tübingen has brilliant people in machine learning, maths and data science. What's been missing is a group that points all of that at markets and talks openly about what holds up and what doesn't. That's us. We're here to understand how it works, and we don't give investment advice.
How technical things get depends on who shows up. If people want to write code, we'll write code. If the group would rather dig into markets, research and companies, we'll do that. Both work.
What we've got planned.
Paper & market sessions
We take a paper or something that just happened in the markets and talk through what's really going on.
Projects
Backtests, models, messy data. Bring whatever you're building and let's talk it through.
Workshops to get started
Python, statistics, working with financial data. Made for people starting from zero.
Trading challenges
Small competitions, because you learn more doing it than watching.
plannedGuest talks
Invite people who do this for a living and ask them everything.
plannedCompanies & partnerships
Longer term we'd love to bring quant firms and market makers to Tübingen for talks, workshops or recruiting.
planned
All you need to bring is interest.
No finance background required, no coding required. Maths, computer science, physics, ML, economics or something completely unrelated, any semester: if the topic sounds interesting, just come along. A lot of the material is in English, and we'll run the meetings in English whenever that suits the group better.
Want to be part of it?
We're looking for people who just want to take part, and for people who want to help build this and get the society officially founded. There's a role for pretty much anything: events, partnerships, marketing, finances, community, or the sessions themselves. Dates and materials live in the members area.
