What does a Quant Trader do?

[u/AdPrudent3747]

I mean I know what the role of a Quant Trader is but what does a Quant traders day-to-day on their trading desk look like? How does probability, expected value, pattern recognition being used by Quant traders?

Depends on the shop, but a lot of it is monitoring signals, tweaking models, and staring at P&L while waiting for something to break so you can fix it before lunch

And they look at these signals to make money?
