Research & Technology

Research & Technology

We convert trading ideas into strategies you can back with statistics, then build the software that trades them: execution systems, backtesting engines, analytics terminals, risk tools and market data infrastructure, for any asset class, broker or exchange API. Created by a team that runs its own automated capital on these same systems.

Thirty minutes, no obligation. Come with an idea, a half built strategy, or just a market you want to take on. If we are not the right fit, we will tell you.

Hypothesis researchBacktestingValidationExecution systemsMarket dataIndependent audit

An edge you cannot validate is only a guess. Most strategies do not fail because the idea was poor. They fail because no one stress tested them honestly before real money was committed.

Research

From a hypothesis to a strategy you can stand behind.

01

Signal & Hypothesis Discovery

We search for repeatable, tradable patterns that have a clear economic reason to exist. A candidate signal with no rationale other than a good backtest does not go live.

02

Strategy Building

We take a loose idea to a fully specified rule set: entries, exits, sizing, risk limits and regime filters, written precisely enough to automate with no interpretation.

03

Validation & Resilience Testing

Walk forward testing, out of sample checks, Monte Carlo resampling, parameter sweeps and regime analysis. If your Sharpe holds up on only one parameter set, we say so before the market does.

04OUR STRONGEST SPECIALTY

Options & Volatility Studies

Volatility surfaces and Greeks behaviour. Signals based on IV percentile, volatility of volatility, model free implied volatility, realised volatility and the variance risk premium, covering index options and more.

05

Execution-Conscious Modelling

Backtests that reflect reality: transaction costs, slippage, fill probability, margin and liquidity limits. A strategy that works only with free, instant fills does not really work.

06

Strategy Review & Independent Opinion

Already bought or built a strategy? We examine it for overfitting, look ahead bias, survivorship bias and blind spots in execution. Independent, direct and written down.

Technology

Everything your trading operation requires, from data through to execution.

01

Automated Execution Systems

Signal handling, order routing for complex option structures, position management, real time risk checks, kill switches and full audit trails. Works across brokers and accounts, deployed on your own infrastructure.

02

Backtesting & Simulation

Event driven backtesters with realistic fills, slippage, costs and margin modelling. Designed for options: Greeks, IV surfaces and expiry mechanics all handled properly.

03

Market Data Pipelines

Live and historical data ingestion, tick storage on TimescaleDB, data quality checks, corporate action adjustments and clean APIs for your research stack.

04

Dashboards & Terminals

Live P&L and exposure monitoring along with volatility and positioning analytics. Web based, on your own servers or in the cloud, built on the same framework as our own Atlas terminal.

05

Broker & Exchange Integrations

Adapters for any venue that has an API: Indian brokers such as Kite, Shoonya and XTS, global gateways like Interactive Brokers, and crypto exchanges via Binance.

06

Strategy Audit & System Recovery

Inherited a bot that fires orders twice? A backtest that looks too good to be true? We audit existing systems for execution bugs, overfitting and infrastructure risk, then fix them.

How a project runs

No open ended billing. No unpleasant surprises.

  1. Scoping callFREE

    Thirty minutes. You explain what you want to achieve and we raise the awkward questions early. We say upfront whether it can be done.

  2. Written proposal

    Fixed scope, timeline, milestones and cost, in writing, before any work starts.

  3. Research & backtesting

    Hypothesis testing on quality data using execution aware assumptions. You see interim results, not a black box.

  4. Validation gauntlet

    Walk forward, out of sample, sensitivity and regime tests. Most ideas fail here. That is the purpose.

  5. Build, deploy & handover

    Working software at each stage, then deployed on your infrastructure with the report, code, backtest framework, documentation, tests and a support period. All of it is yours, under NDA.

Deliverables

What you receive.

Not a PDF of promises. A complete, working research package that belongs to you, and if you want it automated, the same team can build and run it.

  • Written research reportwith candid statistics, covering what failed and the reasons
  • Complete strategy codebasein documented, tested Python, with nothing hidden
  • Reusable backtest frameworkset up for your market and yours to keep
  • Live deployment specificationready to be automated on your broker
Our standard

Most ideas do not pass our validation. Good.

Most of the strategy ideas we study do not make it through the validation gauntlet. We treat that as a success, because the cheapest place to lose money is in a backtest.

We will never inflate a Sharpe ratio, cherry pick a date range or conceal a drawdown to make a report look better. You pay for the truth about your strategy, not for flattery.

Proof

Made first for our own money.

Every framework we sell started inside our own proprietary trading operation. Our execution engine runs live automated options strategies on Indian index derivatives on every trading day. Our backtester has been checked against real fills, real slippage and real expiry day behaviour.

When we call it production grade, we mean it is running in production today, with our own capital at stake.

Who we work with

If this describes you, we should speak.

Independent systematic traders

You have a proven manual strategy, or an idea, and want it validated and turned into disciplined, hands off automated execution.

Prop desks & family offices

You need research capacity, execution, risk or data infrastructure without having to hire a full quant and tech team.

Fintech & advisory firms

You need white label research, analytics dashboards or backtesting capability to offer your own clients.

Research teams

You want clean, dependable market data pipelines that your models can trust.

Strategy buyers & builders

You bought or built a strategy and want an independent, direct audit.

We do not sell tips, signals or guaranteed strategies. We do not manage capital or provide investment advice. Your strategy, your money, your broker, your call. Searching for tips, signals or managed accounts? We are not that kind of firm and never will be.
