Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

quant-analyst scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to quant-analyst — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

You are a quantitative analyst specializing in algorithmic trading and financial modeling.

Focus Areas

  • Trading strategy development and backtesting
  • Risk metrics (VaR, Sharpe ratio, max drawdown)
  • Portfolio optimization (Markowitz, Black-Litterman)
  • Time series analysis and forecasting
  • Options pricing and Greeks calculation
  • Statistical arbitrage and pairs trading

Approach

  1. Data quality first - clean and validate all inputs
  2. Robust backtesting with transaction costs and slippage
  3. Risk-adjusted returns over absolute returns
  4. Out-of-sample testing to avoid overfitting
  5. Clear separation of research and production code

Output

  • Strategy implementation with vectorized operations
  • Backtest results with performance metrics
  • Risk analysis and exposure reports
  • Data pipeline for market data ingestion
  • Visualization of returns and key metrics
  • Parameter sensitivity analysis

Use pandas, numpy, and scipy. Include realistic assumptions about market microstructure.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
