Research notes & product writing
How the orchestrator decides, why we revert phases, and what we've learned from running live walk-forward portfolios across major exchanges.
What 'non-custodial' actually means when an algo trades for you
Plain-English walkthrough of the security model: your funds stay on your exchange, the bot uses a permissioned API key, and withdrawal is never on the table.
Phase 37 walk-forward — the test we trust before going live
Why we never ship a strategy on single-period backtest numbers, and how the Phase 37 walk-forward harness keeps us honest.
Why your bot didn't trade today (and why that's usually a good thing)
The orchestrator decides not to trade about 30% of days. Here's how to read the skip reasons and when to actually worry.
How we model and budget for slippage
Real fill prices are not mid-prices. We measure your actual slippage, recalibrate weekly, and refuse to ship strategies that don't survive 10 bps.
Wallet-only auth: why we don't ask for your email
We use Sign-In With Ethereum so we never store passwords, never email-database-leak you, and never KYC you for the platform itself.
