Recently, I read a thread about the Monte Carlo simulations feature needed.
I believe you can certainly do Monte Carlo on Quantopian. Monte Carlo is just a method with random simulation. If you can do it on Python, so certainly you can do it on Quantopian.
The following is I used truncated Euler method to do CIR model simulation, which is very crude, but enough to show MC you want. (you can ignore the order of AAPL part)
And the following is a more complicated one for get much more precise result of CIR model through simulation, if you need.
Why would you generate a time series followed by a MC simulation? Is there any benefits of using MC in an algorithm?
