With the rapid development of quantitative trading business in the field of investment, quantitative trading platform is becoming an important tool for numerous investing users to participate in quantitative trading. In using the platform, return time of backtesting historical data is a key factor that influences user experience. In the aspect of optimising data access time, cache management is a critical link. Research work on cache management has achieved many referential results. However, quantitative trading platform has its special demands. (1) Data access of users has overlapping characteristics for time-series data. (2) This platform uses a wide variety of caching devices with heterogeneous performance. To address the above problems, a cache management approach adapting quantitative trading platform is proposed. It not only merges the overlapping data in the cache to save space but also places data into multi-level caching devices driven by user experience. Our extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed approach could improve user experience up to >50% compared with the benchmark algorithms.
