Project & impact
A student-built research platform.
JQTRADING is independently built and operated by De Anza College students 邹宇科帝（Yukedi Zou） and 丁岳鑫（Yuexin Ding）. The project combines public research, market education, and an international learning community.
Metrics updated September 2026. Reach and geographic data reflect cumulative public-content analytics; community membership reflects Discord records; publication count reflects the JQTRADING Research Library.
What we built
One project, developed from the ground up.
Website and publication system
We designed and maintain the public website, research archive, article structure, project identity, and ongoing publication workflow.
Independent research
We investigate how energy, climate, policy, economic data, and capital flows interact with the real economy and financial markets.
Education and community
We translate research into accessible lessons and manage a public learning community where developing traders can study process, evidence, and risk.
How the project evolved
From market education to broader economic research.
JQTRADING began with short-form market education and a Discord learning community. Publishing regularly led us to ask deeper questions about why markets move and how evidence should be evaluated.
The research library now extends beyond individual price moves to energy systems, climate conditions, agriculture, inflation, monetary policy, and capital allocation. Our long-term goal is to develop a stronger body of environmental and economic research while continuing to make complex ideas understandable.
