Analyzing stocks in 2024 is quite different from analyzing them a couple of decades back. In fact, even as early as the early 1990s, traders had significantly lesser amounts of data at their disposal for their trading strategies, as they operated in an era that came to be defined by the rise of quantitative trading through pioneers such as D.E. Shaw of the D. E. Shaw Group and patient value investors like Seth Klarman of Baupost Group and Warren Buffett of Berkshire Hathaway.
While quantitative trading is characterized by its data heavy approach that sees hedge funds rely on voluminous amounts of data to make their bets, it's not the only strategy that uses data. Another data intensive approach is called technical trading, and it can be considered a rather distant cousin of quantitative trading. This is because both these strategies rely on statistical concepts such as averages and correlation. However, technical trading relies more on underlying stock movements, and it concerns itself with metrics such as moving averages for share prices, the correlation between share prices and broader stock indexes, the pace of share price movement over a unit time period, and whether a stock is seeing higher buying or selling interest compared to historical data.
