Links

Some awesome quant links. Have more links for us? Send them here
Note: we've used Google, NSDQ:GOOG for all of our links as a test company.

Basic

• Yahoo Finance

  #1 Financial News site out there. It's free and has tons of stuff. Our I-Banking Comrades love this puppy (except for financial filings...they like EDGAR for those)!

  What do we love about Yahoo!Finance? The cool Charts Beta. Check it out here.

• Google Finance

  #2 Financial site (debatable). I like it for its simple interface and interactivity. Also has some neat js features such as the company execs listings.

• MSN Money

  We like this one because it shows us the majority owners for every stock.

• EDGAR Search

  Best site for finding accurate company filings (it has to be...it's run by the SEC).

• MarketWatch

  Just check out the features you can see with the advanced charting abilities (on the left)...we'll say no more.

Code Heavy:

• SourceForge Financial

  In case you didn't know...SourceForge is an open-source community, and having source code to efficient financial analysis programs makes our insides tingle

• VB Numerical Methods

  Despite this being a Canadian-run site, we love it for their open-source VBA, Excel code. Thanks Canada!

• Our Code Archive!

  Always growing, and always open to new submissions, our code archive has some snippets for free use. Questions/Comments/Submissions here

• QuantLib

  Open-Source technical analysis program. Comes with large community support and documentation. Check it out!

• Global Derivatives Spreadsheets

  Has a ton of spreadsheets. Ideally, we'd like to do the same; except we'd do it with style: open-source. GD's are closed, which makes us unhappy.

• Global Derivatives MatLab Archive

  For those who use MatLab, he's a set of some formulas you can fool around with

• MetaStock Formulas

  For those who use MetaStock, here's a giant hub of formulas you can input

Math Heavy:

• SITMO Equation List

  Bunch of equations availiable in various formats. We'll put up something like this eventually.

• Quant Notes

  Nice formulas to read about in article form. Written well and explained nicely.

• Wiki: Mathematical Finance

  Start here and click on every term. That's the way we like it.

• Global Derivatives Math Archive

  Again these guys? Yea, well they have some stuff to offer (I prefer Wiki though).

• Our Math Archive!

  A small archive aimed at explaining the basics (or whatever we understand) to you guys

Chart/Term Glossaries:

• FM Labs

  See our "RAND() $$$ Chart" blurb on the right? We get our fillers from them. Good site. Missing a few indicators, but they are #1 in our book because they include the equations for every chart they list!!!

• TADOC

  'WOW' is the first word that comes to mind. Not only do these guys have the most comprehensive chart list (with the inventors), but they have links for source code, equations, and more for 90% of the charts. Enjoy!

• Prophet

  Not a bad list. They also have good chart samples with longer explanations than FM Labs. List is shorter than TADOC but on par with FM.

• Equis MetaStock

  Ok site. Much, much longer explanations with charts; however, they pester you to register every couple pages...

• Borsanaliz

  The longest explanations and the shortest list. They have the major ones though, which is a good start.

Career & Other:

• QUANTster

  Just tons and tons of job postings for us quants. Always up-to-date, and recommended by the WSJ. Check it out!

• Quant Recruiter

  A cool quant's blog. Has some good career advice and book reviews. Check it weekly.

• Wilmott

  Just join the forum. No questions need to be asked. It's hands down, the best quant forum there for career advice, coding, math questions, puzzles, etc...
