Hi everyone,

I want to start learning and doing quantitative research in short-term interest rate futures, but I’m completely new to this area and not sure where to begin.

I would really appreciate guidance from anyone who has experience in:

\- Quant research

\- Rates trading

\- Yield curve analysis

\- Statistical arbitrage

\- Futures spread trading

I want to understand:

\- What kind of data people analyze

\- What concepts are important to learn first

\- How professionals research these markets

\- What tools/languages are commonly used

\- Any good books, papers, courses, or resources for beginners

I come from a programming background and want to learn the research side properly from the basics.

Any advice or direction would help a lot.

Thanks!
