First use of permutation entropy in trading. Uses information theory (Bandt & Pompe 2002) to detect regime changes before traditional indicators. Low entropy = trending, high entropy = chaotic.
Order flow toxicity as alpha signal. Based on Easley, López de Prado & O'Hara research. Detects informed trading flow and trades with the "smart money."
Hurst exponent for duration targeting. Predicts not just direction, but HOW LONG moves will last. First implementation of fractal geometry for trade timing.
VIX slope z-score predicts SPX. Uses term structure SLOPE (not level) with adaptive thresholds. Extreme backwardation = capitulation buy signal.
Market-neutral correlation arbitrage. Institutional-grade dispersion trade using sector ETFs. Captures the correlation risk premium.
Momentum of momentum. Uses the SECOND DERIVATIVE of relative strength — acceleration, not just direction. 5-10 day lead time over traditional rotators.
Every strategy must pass:
- Sharpe Ratio > 1.0 — Risk-adjusted returns
- Max Drawdown < 25% — Capital preservation
- Win Rate > 45% — Consistent edge
- 2+ Year Backtest — No curve-fitting
