I built a quant simulator- Amethyst
Hey everyone, I’m a student currently trying to learn quantitative finance more deeply, and while learning I started building a small website to help me understand models visually and practically instead of just reading papers/docs.
It currently has simulations+breakdowns for things like Monte Carlo, GBM, Ito Lemma, Heston, OU processes, etc. I also added derivations, intuition, failure cases, Python implementations, and some sandbox tools using live market data/paper trading to experiment with assumptions.
I mainly built it as a learning project for myself but I wanted to ask people here who are into/more experienced in quant/financial engineering. Few questions i wanted to ask:
- Am I learning the right things?
- Are there concepts/models I’m missing?
- Are there parts that seem unrealistic or academically incorrect?
- What would you recommend focusing on next?
I would genuinely appreciate feedback since I’m still learning and trying to improve.
