I am a "quant" for an energy trading and marketing company. Quants have been around for thousands of years trying to help wealthy and powerful folk become more wealthy and powerful. Many of the ancient quants were hired by royalty to defeat alleged games of chance using mathematics. Think Fibonacci for example. As a quant I have to find "edge" for my firm. We look at nano-term, short term, intermediate term and long term tenors. (Not the singers.) Those are set up to include "event", momentum and "value structure" situations. The company spends a lot of money on us and software to do that sort of analysis. They are particularly queer for programmers who can translate ideas into algorithmic code. Also, they want shit tons of meta data stored. They want to flush all that data through the facets above. The end result is a strategy that hopefully will make "oceans" of cash for the company and its investors. The risk analysts always come in and throw cold water on the developed code to some degree. Even Goldman Sachs won't risk as much on commodities as they do on their own structured products because commodities act psychiatrically like the people who trade them.

That's Fibonacci in the pic.
