Choose Your Path

Choose the shortest route into Quandora for your background and goal.

You do not need to learn every part of Quandora before using it. Start with the path that matches what you want to do.

I Am New To Quant Research

Start with Quandora 101, then follow the Quickstart. You will learn what a factor is by running one guided research task and reading its evidence.

I Have A Market Idea To Test

Go directly to the Quickstart. Choose a public research task or describe your own idea to your agent. After the run, use Factor Analysis and How Factors Are Judged to diagnose the exact result.

I Already Have Factor Code

Follow the Installation Guide, then ask your agent to validate your plugin.py before starting a backtest. Validation checks whether the code matches the selected research task and supported factor contract; it does not run or save the factor by itself.

I Use AI Agents Or Build Integrations

Follow the Installation Guide for Codex, Claude, Cursor, CodeBuddy, WorkBuddy China, or Kimi Code. The plugin.py reference explains the executable factor contract used by Factor Mining.

I Want To Build A Strategy

Read Strategy Construction to understand how evaluated factors become a strategy. Then continue to the Strategy Tutorial, including the separate read-only Strategy Analysis step.

I Want To Monitor A Strategy Forward

Start with a completed strategy backtest, then continue to the Paper Trading Tutorial. Paper trading reuses that exact evaluated strategy with simulated orders; you do not rebuild its factor composition when starting the run. Starting and stopping both require explicit confirmation.
