Evidence-based trading research

Start with a trading calculation.

What do you need to calculate? Every tool states its formula, so the number can be checked rather than trusted.

The method

Don't just calculate it. Understand it.

A calculator gives you a number. Quant trading is knowing what that number means.

Take a single advance and put a number on it: how far it ran, and how long it took. Now it can be compared with every other advance in the record. Turning that measurement into an indicator you can run over years of history is what quant trading is.

Pattern matching

Candlestick research, tested rather than believed.

What actually happens after a hammer, engulfing pattern or doji appears?

A formation appears on the chart and, instead of reading it, the engine finds every other time the same setup occurred: 11,306 matches, each followed forward for the same number of bars. The overlay draws those outcomes on top of each other, so the spread on the right is the full distribution of what happened next, not a forecast.

In this case 70% reversed and 30% continued. Don't look at the chart and think it will go up. Look at the chart, then at 10,000 patterns exactly like it, and see what really happens.

Strategy · portfolio test

A portfolio smooths what a single market cannot.

One rule set, eight markets, nine years of history.

A single strategy on a single market is a narrow bet. Run the same rules across a basket and two things change: qualifying signals go up, and dependence on any one market goes down.

The contribution split is the part worth studying. A few markets tend to carry most of the result while others contribute almost nothing, and their drawdowns rarely arrive together. Knowing which markets actually pay is the difference between a portfolio and a collection.

Stocks · picking and automation

Stock picking is a scoring problem, not an opinion.

The dashboard is not a watchlist. It is a scoring engine: every candidate is measured on the same inputs, on the same schedule, and ranked against the others. Whatever sits at the top when capital is available is what gets bought.

Automation is what makes the system honest. Code applies the same threshold in a rally that it applies in a selloff, never skips a scheduled buy, and never quietly upgrades a name it likes.

Technical analysis · 259 pages

Technical analysis, tested with data.

89 candlestick formations and 18 chart patterns, each written as a rule.

Textbook technical analysis tells you what a pattern means. This section tells you how often it occurred, what followed it, and whether the difference is large enough to trade. Where the answer is no, the page says no.
