Research Framework
Methodology & Research Philosophy
This is a public research and risk-monitoring site for rule-based
allocation sleeves. It is designed to make assumptions, artifacts, and
failure modes easier to inspect.
What This Is
This is not a prediction system. Models are rule-based and evaluated as
research sleeves, not as personalized recommendations or expected
return forecasts.
Trend filters are used to reduce exposure when market structure
deteriorates. Confirmation rules reduce churn but introduce lag.
Defensive cash states reduce exposure but can miss rebounds.
Risk Model
Leveraged ETFs have daily reset risk, volatility decay, tracking error,
liquidity stress, and overnight gap risk. These risks can dominate
headline return metrics during adverse paths.
Perpetual futures add funding, liquidation, execution, and exchange
risk. Funding costs can change quickly, and exchange or mark-price
mechanics can affect realized outcomes.
Backtest Limits
Backtests are not expected returns. Historical diagnostics can be
sensitive to start date, sample length, fees, taxes, trading frictions,
liquidity, survivorship assumptions, and implementation details.
No martingale, no averaging-down recommendation, no personalized
investment advice. The site is for independent research review and
operational monitoring only.
