The Quant
Paradigm Shift.

CryptoQuantix was born from a fundamental realization: intraday orderflow in crypto is largely noise. After years of testing high-frequency mean reversions, the data spoke clearly — those strategies lacked a persistent statistical edge.

[WARN] Sharpe Ratio < 0.8 detected on 15m.
[WARN] Slippage erosion critical in live-testing.

Evolution

The Journey to Signal

2022-2024

The Noise Era

Focused heavily on orderbook imbalances and short-timeframe (1m-5m) volume spikes. While profitable on paper, real-world execution was eroded by Binance latency and sudden regime shifts.

THE PIVOT
2026-06

Macro Awakening

Disabled all HFT bots. Zoomed out to the Daily and Weekly charts. Discovered that crypto's true edge lies in its massive, multi-week volatility expansions driven by structural liquidations.

2026-Present

Institutional Scale

Launched CryptoQuantix v2. A fully async, Python-based engine running on Deribit. Strictly gated by the 200-day SMA, capturing massive secular trends while protecting capital during chop.

Infrastructure

Zero Lookahead Bias.

Strict Out-of-Sample Testing Every strategy is optimized on data from 2020-2022 and strictly validated blindly on the 2022-2026 walk-forward dataset. If it fails the walk-forward, it is discarded.
Harsh Slippage Modeling Our backtester penalizes every trade with a flat 0.20% roundtrip cost, drastically higher than standard VIP fee tiers, ensuring the strategy survives even terrible executions.
Surviving the Chop By applying strict Macro-Gating (e.g., turning off longs below the SMA200), we minimize severe drawdowns during prolonged consolidation phases.

Validation Matrix

Requirement Threshold Status
Profit Factor > 1.50 PASS
Max Drawdown < 30% PASS
Trade Frequency < 100 / yr PASS
Slippage Tolerance 0.20% RT PASS

Risk Protocol

Survival Above All

Crypto markets are engineered to liquidate the undisciplined. We built a standalone Risk Engine that runs concurrently with the trading models, armed with absolute veto power.

1.5x Gross Cap

Regardless of how many strategies trigger simultaneously, the total portfolio exposure (Long + Short) can never exceed 150% of the account equity. If a new signal would breach this limit, the order is rejected at the engine level.

Current Usage: 112% / 150%

Daily Kill Switch

A hard-coded circuit breaker. If the portfolio equity drops by more than 3% within a rolling 24-hour window, the engine instantly flattens all open positions and suspends trading until manual operator intervention.

Drawdown Buffer: -0.8% / -3.0%
