We Build Market-Beating Trading Strategies That 99% Of Traders Don't.
We help traders and funds build robust, trading strategies/portfolios. Our strategies are crafted from academic research, live-tested, and ready to run without wasting years coding and research.
For the past three years, we've fully automated our trading strategies, managing a portfolio of over 20 diverse strategies. Before that, we operated semi-automated systems.
Save thousands of hours ⌛ we do the research, testing, and debugging so you can simply download and run.

- You can quantify risk, expected value, drawdown shape, correlations.
- You can engineer portfolios of uncorrelated systems instead of just praying you “have a feel for the market.” It turns the unknown into something you can measure and optimize.
