Prove the edge
before you risk a dollar.
A platform being built to turn ICT / SMC concepts into deterministic, auditable rules — reviewed, backtested and paper-traded before any live trading. Not an LLM deciding buy or sell. It's early: the research workspace is live today; the trading engine is in development.
Live trading disabled by default · Paper & backtest first
What exists today — and what doesn't yet
ICT research workspace
Staff capture ICT / SMC concepts, knowledge sources and proposed rules, each reviewed and versioned. This is live today.
Rule registry & blueprint
Every proposed rule has provenance, a review lifecycle and a place in the algorithm blueprint. Definitions exist; they do not execute yet.
Concept detectors
Partial internal alpha: deterministic, no-lookahead detectors for confirmed swings, FVGs, displacement and sell-side sweeps/SFP exist and are tested. SMT, MSS/CISD, true opens and weekly profiles are not yet implemented.
Risk engine & paper trading
Deterministic replay alpha: an independent risk engine + simulated broker produce paper fills, positions and P&L in a labelled replay sandbox. Not a continuously deployed service, and not live.
Event-driven backtester
A no-lookahead engine with realistic spread, commission, slippage and contract-roll logic. Designed, not yet built.
Broker connections
Tradovate futures via the CQG WebAPI engine, under the Lucid prop firm, demo first. Blocked until approved API credentials exist. Live trading stays disabled.
