Questions about Quant$ense.
Is Quant$ense a trading or investment tool?
No. It is an educational site using synthetic examples. It does not provide investment advice or trading signals.
Are the FRTB calculations production-ready?
No. They illustrate the PRA-based logic and intermediate steps. A regulated implementation needs validated trade data, permissions, governance, controls and jurisdiction-specific interpretation.
Which sources inform the lessons?
The stochastic calculus path is based on the supplied Shreve references. The FRTB path links to the PRA January 2026 policy statement at the relevant articles and pages.
Where should a beginner start?
Start with the risk sensitivities path to understand how market moves change trade values, or use the probability lessons in stochastic calculus. The FRTB path is best after understanding sensitivities, options and basic risk aggregation.
Why do the charts use synthetic data?
Synthetic data keeps the examples reproducible, transparent and safe to explore without implying a live market view.
Can I use the site on a phone?
Yes. The applets are responsive, and controls can be changed by touch or keyboard.
