ICT · SMC · Quarterly Theory research platform

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.

ICT research workspace

Staff capture ICT / SMC concepts, knowledge sources and proposed rules, each reviewed and versioned. This is live today.

Available now

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.

In development

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.

In development

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.

Planned

Event-driven backtester

A no-lookahead engine with realistic spread, commission, slippage and contract-roll logic. Designed, not yet built.

Credential required

Broker connections

Tradovate and cTrader via official OAuth, demo first. Blocked until approved application credentials exist. Live trading stays disabled.
