AI Quant Research needs the Trader plan or above. See plan comparison.
Five questions that work as they are
A question needs three ingredients: a symbol, a time window, and something measurable. Type them the way you’d say them — Tradion reads plain English.- “Which one moves harder day to day, NVDA or AMD? Last six months. And which had the worse drawdown — the deeper fall from a high before it climbed back?”
- “If I’d bought SPY every time its 50-day average price crossed above its 200-day, and sold on the cross back down, would I have beaten holding it? Test 10 years.”
- “What’s TSLA’s worst day of the week over the past two years?”
- “Do AAPL, MSFT, and BTC/USD move together right now, and has that changed in the last 30 days?”
- “Show me every week QQQ fell more than 5% in the last five years, and what it did the month after.”
In plain English: measurements, not opinions
Questions about why the market did something are guesswork dressed as analysis. Questions about what and how much are measurements — and measurement is the only thing running code can do. Tradion cannot tell you why NVDA sold off. It can tell you how far, how fast, and how that ranks against every other selloff in five years. Ask “is NVDA a good buy?” and it has to guess what you meant; ask the first question in that list and it has a job.The walkthrough
1
Open a session
Click AI Quant Research in the sidebar, then New Session. No form to fill in — a chat panel on the left, an empty canvas on the right, and a cursor in the composer.
2
Ask the question
In the box marked Ask the Quant…, type:
Compare how much NVDA and AMD move day to day over the last six months. Which one is jumpier, and which had the deeper drawdown? Show both on charts.Press Enter. A quant session is one message sent in Analysis mode. Ask mode is free and unlimited.You can attach files too — up to 5, 10 MB each: CSV, Excel, PDF, JSON, text, images.

Watch the cells run
The chat panel counts through its steps — choosing functions, pulling live prices, writing the code, running it. On the right, cells appear one at a time: Queued, then Running · 4.2s, then Done · 11.8s.Tradion decides how many cells your question needs — roughly three to five for a quick lookup, eight to twelve for a full analysis with charts. There’s no cap and no add-cell control. This one takes one to three minutes.
4
Read the result
The chart is interactive — hover for values, drag to zoom, double-click to reset.The AI Insight underneath reads what the cell found, in two or three sentences: “NVDA’s daily moves have averaged roughly 1.8× AMD’s since March, with the gap widening after the April earnings gap.”
If the AI Insight disagrees with your gut, that’s the tool doing its job. Read the code before you dismiss it.
5
Look at the code
Every cell has a Code / Output toggle. Flip it and the generated Python appears:You are not expected to be able to write that. Reading it is enough:
fetch_barspulls six months of daily price bars..pct_change()turns each close into the percentage it moved from the day before..std()measures how spread out those daily percentages are. That spread is standard deviation, and it’s what people mean by volatility — how much a price bounces around, whichever way.* (252 ** 0.5)annualises it — 252 is the number of trading days in a year, and this restates a daily-sized number as “how much it would move over a year”, the form everyone quotes.
6
Ask a follow-up
When the analysis finishes, a toggle appears above the composer: Analysis and Ask.Switch to Ask and type “which of those two had the deeper drawdown, and when?”. Tradion answers from what’s on screen — nothing re-runs and nothing is charged. Use Ask hard before spending another session.
7
Go deeper with a second analysis
For new numbers rather than a new reading of old ones, switch back to Analysis:
Now add SPY as a baseline and show all three volatility lines on one chart.Tradion asks Start new analysis?, saves the current one to your session list, and replaces the canvas with fresh cells.
8
Export the code
Once every cell finishes, an Export button appears above the canvas offering Code — Jupyter notebook (.ipynb): every completed cell’s Python, in order, with its output. Open it in Jupyter, VS Code, or Google Colab and change what you like — swap the tickers, stretch the window, add an indicator. Code that already works is the best place to start learning Python.
When it doesn’t go smoothly

Tradion repairs failures silently, so red means every repair layer ran out — usually because the data doesn’t exist. The canvas covers the causes and the fixes.

Ordinary words in capitals can be mistaken for symbols. Write it with a dollar sign —
$NVDA — to remove the ambiguity.The answer was shallower than expected

Almost always a vague question. Add the missing ingredient — a window, a benchmark, or a measure — and ask again.
