The full picture: how a strategy is tested, what gets it cut, and why testing never interrupts the desk watching your money.
Five steps, in order. Nothing skips the line — and most things don't make it.
Describe a thesis in plain language, or let the desk work autonomously. Vera turns it into a precise, testable strategy.
The agents draft, critique, and revise — round after round — sharpening the logic instead of overfitting it to the past.
Out-of-sample splits and parameter-sensitivity checks. If an edge vanishes when the numbers move a little, it was never real. Quinn says no — and says why.
What passes runs forward on real market data for a window you set. No cherry-picked history — it has to perform on bars it has never seen.
Only a cleared strategy can reach the floor, and only with your sign-off. Aria runs it on your connected exchange, sizing and managing risk live.
Your desk does two very different jobs: watching the market tick by tick, and grinding through thousands of candles to test an idea. Most platforms do both in the same place — so when something heavy runs, the watching pauses.
You connect your own exchange with API keys. Your funds never leave it, and we never take custody. You can revoke access any time.
We'd rather reject your idea than ship a fragile one. Every verdict shows its working — the splits, the sensitivity, the trade count.
Backtests are easy to fake. Nothing reaches the floor until it has earned its keep on live data it has never seen.
Our screener reports “1,641 scanned · 94 liquid · 40 evaluated” — not the flattering headline. If we narrow your search for you, we say so on the page.
Paper by default. Daily loss limits and drawdown halts on every venue. If a stop-loss can't be armed, the position is closed rather than left exposed.
You bring the idea or the goal; the desk does the quant work. No knobs to second-guess, no bot library to wade through.
Trading happens on your own connected exchange. We never hold or move your assets.
Markets carry risk and can lose money. We give you rigor and control — never a guaranteed return.
No strategy goes live without your approval, and you can pause or pull it back at any time.
Connect an exchange, hand the team an idea, and watch it earn its way to the floor — or get cut trying.
