Give an idea
somewhere to earn its place.

Research, tune and evaluate. In our internal V9 workflow, the Lab keeps the question close to the experiment, and the evidence close to the decision.

From hypothesis to evidence

Keep the assumptions
beside the result.

A useful experiment begins with a question. Define an idea, test it against market conditions and review the result with costs and limitations in view.

  • Research

    Develop an idea and make the assumptions explicit.

  • Tune

    Adjust a strategy's parameters and compare candidates on validation data. Tuning rules is distinct from training a model.

  • Evaluate

    Keep final test data separate from development and tuning. Review results with trading costs and limitations in view.

  • Review

    Compare outcomes, inspect the trade record and decide what deserves another iteration. An evaluation pass is research evidence, not a prediction.

The next window
has to stand on its own.

Explore the walk-forward process below. This is an explanation of the method, not a strategy result.

Illustrative geometry, not results. An idea has to survive the window it was never fitted to — the ones that don’t get retired.

Planned for V10

Your research.
Connected to the Hub.

The planned hosted workspace connects SA Hub, Lab and Desk. SA Hub will organize strategies, models and versioned configurations. The Lab will provide research, tuning and evaluation tools, with results tied to the exact configuration tested.

Selecting a configuration or passing an evaluation will not authorize trading. The Desk is where a separately authorized configuration runs, with simulation, paper and live access kept distinct. A planned isolated sandbox will let users rehearse without a broker connection.

Our own model research comes first; customer model training is a later V10 direction. The current signup flow provides onboarding and an access queue, not a hosted Lab or trading workspace.

Private onboarding

Access starts with a conversation.

115 is private and invitation-only. There is no checkout and no self-serve trading: a team comes on board by talking to us first.

Request a walkthrough
  1. Request access, or ask for a walkthrough.
  2. A person at 115 gets in touch about how your team works.
  3. Invited teams are set up by hand, one instance at a time.
