Systematic Trading Research

Disciplined strategies.
Transparent results.

A personal research project tracking systematic trading strategies from backtest to live execution, built and run out of Idaho.

Research-Driven

Every strategy starts as a multi-year backtest across thousands of market days before a single dollar trades on it.

Risk-Managed

Defined risk, position sizing tied to volatility regimes, and hard filters that skip the days most likely to hurt.

Built in the Open

Live results, win rates, and drawdowns are tracked transparently — including the losses.

Current Strategies
