Hi,

I just wanna know what qualifications or skills differentiate quant traders from either bond or stock traders.

Thanks for sharing information.
 
Quant trader can be a stock trader or a bond trader. Your question should be whats the difference between a quant trader and a discretionary trader.
Basically a quant trader develops a method based on numbers and a discretionary trader trades on his discretion.
 
quant traders build very complicated machines to flip coins.
discretionary traders use their fingers.
